A serenity hub
That's what Nick's place was for us. From the very start, he has been extremely helpful and responded immediately to our every question - and we had a lots! From the moment we set foot on the beautiful island, we were welcomed at Nick's beautiful house by a fruit basket and a bottle of wine - which is Greek hospitality in action!
The house itself is situated over Kampos, the "organized" beach of Patmos - a 3-minute walk - into quotes just because even the most popular beach on the island is still serene. And the photos cannot do justice to the experience.
An old building with thick walls that keep it cool, still renovated in the most minimal, functional and relaxed way. A wonderful porch to sit and enjoy reading your book or having breakfast. A fully-equipped kitchen and a spacious, newly built bathroom. And last but not least, the most relaxing bedroom we've ever stayed at.
Set on the upper level, the bedroom is sunlit all day through 5 windows, while the breeze circulating around makes it cool (natural air condition). The bed is large, the mattress very relaxing and the area is very simple. The white walls, minimal decoration, the breeze and the leaves' soothing rustling make it an ideal place for the mind to clear and the body to rest. Furthermore, while the house is located near the beach and the road, given its exact position (a 30'' walk on a paved alley) you don't hear a sound.
The location of the house is convenient for visiting the beaches of Vagia, Ligginou, and Livadi Geranou; the best beaches of the island, just 5 minutes away.
Needless to say, I would totally recommend Nick's place - although fearing that too much publicity will reduce my possibility of staying there again next year :)
