It is difficult to find the words that adequately describe the very special appeal of this accommodation and its hosts. It is an outstanding total package of lovely living spaces full of history and character, an idyllic garden setting, absolutely superb hospitality, great location for access to numerous mountain walks as well as beautiful beaches, and within a short distance to all necessary amenities and services including banks, tavernas, cafes, supermarkets, and other food vendors, tourist attractions and shops.
Basilis, Poppi and Manolis are delightful hosts and always ready to respond to any need. Whilst they provide very well appointed self-catering accommodation, the service offered is better than many highly rated hotels. For guests staying more than a night or two, Poppi offers beautiful clean linen and towels every other day, daily removal of household 'garbage', fresh produce from her garden, and is delighted to share her delicious home cuisine. Her generosity is exceptional and her cooking is legend! Together with Poppi, Basilis and Manolis are the epitome of excellent hosts and are wonderful company when the opportunity presents to share a drink or meal. They also offer the best coffee in town at the Alea Snack Bar in Falasarna, in a relaxed atmosphere and exquisite location right on a clean, tranquil, sandy beach (reportedly ranked in the top 100 beaches in Europe) only 5 minutes by car from the house.
It goes without saying, that we highly recommend this picturesque traditional stone house in Platanos ... and for singles, couples and families alike. It is simply outstanding and more than excellent value for money.
