this is a beautiful three story traditional house built on a slope. there are two entrances: one on the first/ ground floor (kitchen and living room with a small balcony) and the other on the ground floor/ basement (double bed with an en suit bathroom). the second floor is occupied by the double bed and exits on a terrace with fantastic view of the Ioulis acropolis and the south of Attica. the sunsets from the terrace are a real treat and the proverbial cherry on top of a day spent at the beach or on one of the many island trails. in the morning the terrace lies in the shade of the hilltop and having breakfast there is a perfect start to a day of vacation. there is a toilet on the third floor with access from the terrace. all floors are wooden and are connected with (narrow and steep) wooden staircases. the house is decorated with attention to detail and elegance that is in tune with the style of the island village. [I would go as far as to say that this is the definitive house of Ioulis - at least in my imaginary.] there are many counter tops where you can stack your stuff (including a very handy table for toiletries - a sort of stone vanity). there is a caveat: the house is situated midway between the bottom and top of the village and it's a substantial hill climb to get there (cars are not allowed in the village) - if you travel heavy it will take you more than a couple of minutes from the parking to the house. once you get there, however, everything (shops, bakery, tavernas, bars) is within five minutes walking distance. summing up, we had a wonderful time at Katerina's house and would definitely stay there again on any of our future trips to Tzia.
