What a lovely place! Everything was perfect. The house is beautiful, every stone, every tablecloth, every towel shows love and impeccable taste. It’s an artist’s house. The best thing about it is all the outdoor spaces: an exterior alcove to drink coffee; a terrace to drink a glass of wine and count stars; a bed under a tree in the garden to read nonfiction; a bed under the tree in the internal courtyard to read fiction; a big table on the terrace to eat dinner with friends, a shaded area near the garden to do yoga, and of course the garden, with apricots and zucchinis, peaches and Greek spinach thing. It smells like roses, sage and rosemary that grow everywhere. There are wild artichokes too! We come from New York, so it was heavenly.

Bring some mosquito repellant (for June), the Greek stuff is too mild. We were unprepared, but figured it out. The village is very quiet and in June had hardly any tourists. Lots of wonderful walks around sunset. The stores and beaches are a 15 min. ride by car. The road is winding, but so well kept, by the end of our stay we were racing. Luisa is super helpful and generous, and the local attaché culturel, a.k.a The Gardner Antonis, will tell you everything you want to know about all things Greek. You’ll see him carrying peaches in his shirt while riding his motorbike. Befriend him immediately!

Forever memorable. Keep it a secret.
