Our host Panagis was in contact with us, but away overseas when we arrived. Nonetheless, he gave us contact information for his sister and arranged for us to pick up the key from his cousin's cafe, immediately below the apartment.

The apartment is very well situated, immediately above the beautiful lion's head springs in the charming town square. There is a balcony shared by three apartments looking down on the springs and the various tavernas, and is shaded by a magnificent tree also over the square. We had to park our car at the bottom of the square and haul our bags up the square, then up 15 steps to the apartment balcony. That wasn't too difficult, but might be for some. There is parking on the street, or there is a big parking lot behind the shops downhill from the square.

The apartment itself is small - one room up some steep stairs with a double bed and a single bed, and one room downstairs with a table and 4 chairs, a large sofa, a single bed, and the refrigerator, and a tiny kitchen and bath off of that. The upstairs had a door out to a shared back patio, but this was locked because the patio hadn't been properly prepared (it backs onto a very steep and wild uphill to the cliffs above Spili).

The kitchen was quite poorly furnished; there was only one pot and no kettle. There were few plates, dishes, glasses, and cutlery. The bathroom was small, but actually quite serviceable, although the step up into the bathroom and the drop into the shower in tight quarters required care to navigate.

Unfortunately, the biggest issue was that the beds were very uncomfortable, which was a big problem for my wife with her bad back, so we had to leave after only one night instead of our planned two nights. The beds might not be a problem for other people.

Spili itself is a lovely rural town with several nice restaurants with local fare and lots of local products in the shops. We didn't get to try out many of the walks, which looked to be very nice.

The best thing was the apartment's location and its view overlooking the square. The worst was the condition of the beds and the lack of facilities. The apartment advertises "cozy", which it definitely was. I'd also say quite rustic and old fashioned (the house has an interesting history from before WWII). If you're willing to sacrifice comfort for a quaint location right in the middle of a lovely village, this would be a good place for you, but in the end it wasn't for us.
