On our arrival I was a little worried that the house was a tad isolated, but in no time at all we found all the conveniences of the lovely little village, and after visiting the more touristy areas I was glad of the peaceful home to return to. You will need transport to get around the island but Sofia helped us with a very reasonably priced car rental as well as other valuable information on where to go and places to eat. You have total privacy but Sofia is close by to help with anything. The home is beautiful, comfortable and lovely and cool on the hottest of days. I would highly recommend staying at Sofia's home.
