Roula and her mother were absolutely incredible start to finish!! And I can’t speak enough about the actual cottage! It’s out of a dream. Just the most amazing breathtaking, calm, tranquil, peaceful corner of the world. We would play cards on the balcony under the mulberry tree while we listened to sheep in the surrounding hills, we walked across the street to the tavern and had the most epic Greek salad and homemade ice cream, we spent our last night having dinner at her aunt’s Tavern down the road and they were just so welcoming! It’s like being a part of an extended family in this town! Roula also has a typed out guide book that she made (and needs to publish!!) that has info on all the surrounding areas and hikes! We ended up doing the Samaria gorge hike and her directions in the book made it that much better!! We didn’t use the downstairs bedroom, but we hope to return with our boys someday and use it. It’s just so amazing to be in a place with so much history! I miss it already. Book this place, it’s in the middle of nowhere and that’s what makes it so special!
