Staying in this house was a remarkable experience. It sits almost literally at the top of Filoti, a quintessential village tucked in the mountains of Naxos, with 360 views of mountains, the valleys below, and all the way out to the ocean. The photos don't do it justice: it's even more grandiose. The home itself is from another time, built with the traditional stone and plaster of the region, but modernized so that the bathrooms and bedrooms have a Greek rustic luxury. The interior furniture, etc is all very nicely considered too. It's split onto 3 floors with a bit of an indoor/outdoor setup. As a village, Filoti was a great place to stay away from the ordinary tourist pathways through Naxos, but only 30 minutes from some of the best beaches. (Note: a car is necessary to come to Flioti. The driving is scenic. It's a great jumpoff point to see the rest of the island, in any direction.) Stelios could not have been more welcoming or accessible.

I'll conclude just by saying that my wife and I were thankful to have had such a unique experience that captured some of the essence of what Filoti and Naxos are about, and in such a well-appointed home. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Stelios!
