This is such a great place to stay. Before arriving in Ios we stayed in hotels with breakfast and a pool in both Tinos and Naxos so we were unsure if we would adjust to no pool and get our own breakfast! In fact it was so easy because the experience was amazing. To live in a traditional house in the middle of the village was so cool and George and Olga were SO friendly and helpful. Everything we needed was close by. A great bakery for spinach pie and orange cake and coffee, a superb Gyros take-away and a supermarket all within 5 minutes walk. Easy to park your car for free in the public car park also 5 minutes walk away. You can sit outside and watch the locals go about their business and direct the tourists to the church for sunset- 2 minutes away. If you want a taste of village life you should stay here.
