This little place is a gem, if its what you’re looking for. My family of 4 (2 adults and 2 teens) enjoyed it quite a bit. Definitely “off the beaten path”—in a remote area of about 5 traditional Cycladic houses right on a little cove. This one in particular was very modern inside, despite the area outside giving a different impression. 2 bedrooms, very comfortable and clean. Full kitchen with Nespresso machine, counter top stove and oven, big fridge, and fully stocked with flatware, dishes and glassware. Really pretty inside. We loved leaving the 2 windows and front door open (or if you prefer, you can open the window portion of the door and keep the door closed)-the cross breeze was wonderful. Had a little patio out front with a table and 4 chairs, where we enjoyed morning coffee or afternoon wine, enjoying the view of the water and surrounding cliffs. Pretty cool to explore the rock formations although be careful-they are steeper and higher than you think. Wear sneakers! The host was wonderful, leaving us a bottle of wine and some produce from her parents’ farm, along with cheese pies made by her mother. Nice touch. She also was responsive to all questions and gave us a list of restaurant recommendations all over the island.
The only complaint is that the shower drain doesn’t drain as quickly as I would like, and the floor gets pretty damp. The owners should get a doorstop to keep the door open so that it dries more easily. I kept the tiny window open to facilitate it drying out. Also, the water did not seem to heat up enough with the solar panels alone, but the host will instruct you how to turn on the electric hot water heater-then it’s piping hot. These issues did not affect my overall score, however, as the pluses outweighed this small issue.
By the way, hopefully you like cats. There is a little colony there that comes to greet you every morning and evening. I LOVE them-I almost brought one home, actually. Very nice cats, some friendlier than others but none wild or aggressive. We enjoyed their visits very much. I even bought cat food for them at the local market.
Great little place. Private and comfortable.
