This place is brilliant in every way. There is so much love and attention in every corner of every room, we felt right at home from the moment we walked in. Every space is breezy and light: the bedrooms, the living room, the terrace, the garden. Speaking of which: the garden is full of herbs: thyme, rosemary, mint.

The house and yard/garden are built on several levels. At the top level of the garden, overlooking the roof top and basically the entire village, there is a sitting area made of stone. We had a late brunch there and stayed for hours in the shade of the trees listening to the sheep bleat in the distance.

There are 2 small pools - one indoor and one outdoor. There are deck chairs at the outdoor pool as well as on the upstairs terrace. The kitchen is fully furbished and the owner brought us fresh vegetables. There was milk and juice waiting in the fridge and a big basket of fruit when we arrived. And Raki, of course.

The owner was the perfect host: he stayed late at the house to welcome us and show us around. He made sure we got dinner at the local taverna in spite of our late arrival - the food was great! We went there the next day as well.

Whenever we had a question he was very responsive and helpful. We forgot our iPad in the house and he immediately notified us and sent it over by mail.

This was a remarkable experience and we would go back in a heart-beat.
