Amazing villa and amazing host.
We spent 3 weeks at Family villa, and if we could, we’d spend even more. We were choosing the villa, which matches our style: concrete floors, modern furnishing, barbecue area, air condition (never used it in June, as is was always cool in the rooms). But we were stunned with all the equipment and welcome items Thomai has provided us: every single detail is thoroughly thought out. We’ve found the kitchen full of fresh fruit, croissants, FRESHLY BAKED WARM COOKIES, milk, water, coffee, ouzo, jam, honey. The cookies simple broke my heart. There’s everything you need: capsules for dishwasher and washing machine, hand tissues, toaster, garbage bags, barbecue stuff and so on and so on and so on. Towel and sheets change, slippers. The map with all the restaurants and beaches (but we also used Google maps). Thomai was so kind to answer any question we had.
The villa itself is in the middle of the island, so it’s not beach front, but we chose it on purpose to have an opportunity to investigate the island and different beaches. You won’t find big supermarkets nor fresh fish in the village, but it’s not a problem if you are by car. 20 minutes to the main city. There’s a small local shop nearby and a lovely tavern Mathias close by with meat dishes (no fish). We managed to visit 7 beaches during our stay and compare their beauty.
A lovely neighbor couple treated us with the products from their garden. The village itself is very quite, except for the rooster )) but we slept in the room away from him, so it wasn’t a problem at all: more like a country fleur. We occupied the first floor, which has a barbecue area at the backyard. This area is common and shared with the second apartment. This could be an issue, if the neighbors cook something behind your windows, but I don’t think there are lots of home-cookers, when there are so many amazing restaurants in the island, and the windows are shut dead if needed. We were alone during our stay, so we could not face any inconveniences.
If we decide to come back to Tinos, I would definitely try to stay at Thomai’s.
