The place is calm and proper., featuring a spacy terras with a fantastic view on the surrounding mountains. The terras, on which we spent most of our time, lays under the shade of a grapevine, which was full with tasty grapes. Eugenia and Mihalis are very caring hosts. Every morning (and we stayed 7 nights), we enjoyed a different traditional Greek breakfast prepared by them. We loved it! The village of Sougia is 10' driving distance from the house, with sand and gallets beaches. Several restaurants and 2 grocery stores, with some other stuff. Not so touristic though. We recommend the first restaurant at the left, entering Sougia, which is in fact rather a grill (definitely take the souvlaki with the fennel pie). There are also many hikes to do, around Sougia (even one passing through Livadas); worth to buy a small hiking guide, really well made, about these hikes around Sougia and Paleochora. All in all, a great stay! We plan to come back.
