We had a fantastic stay in "Rena's House". The location was great. Spili is a pretty little town with enough local eating/shopping options to be interesting in the evening. In the day, given time of year it was cooler as it is quite high, but we intentionally wanted a place in the centre of the island as so late in the season it allowed us to head for south or north coast depending on which had better weather (both were about 30 min drive away). I imagine in high summer it would actually be pleasant and cooler than on the coast.

We loved the range of wilder beaches we could go to on the south coast. All were beautiful and pretty much deserted (also because of the time of year probably). Rethyemnon made a close and interesting day trip on the north coast.

Antonis was extremely responsive and friendly. Checkin/out was super smooth and he was fast to respond to questions and help us out (including restaurant/beach tips for the local area!).

The house itself is great, very well equipped (even with a selection of small touches like welcoming food, a selection of books and board games, abundant bedding and linens, iron etc). It was spotless when we arrived. The garden and outdoor areas were delightful! It was almost november so we couldnt take as much advantage of the lovely garden as we would have liked. We will have to go back in summer! The grass area of the garden is actually much larger than it appears in the pictures!
