I dont know where to start.

First, the location, it was exactly what I expected, not too busy but central to wherever we wanted to to travel around the island, it literally was the main navigation point for travelling north south east or west around the island.

Secondly, the premises itself. From the moment we stepped foot into the immaculate private and pristine courtyard, we knew this will be home for the next 10 days and a place they we would love to come back to after a full day of island activities, where we could rest and kickback and reflect back on the day's activities, not to mention the high-speed wifi availability, for those eager to post the days activities on social media, all under the beautiful quiet night sky of Mesaria.

We were greeted by the host Mr Panos himself. With a thorough explanation of the layout and functions of the amenities available to us. I was surprised as to how well he spoke English.

The accommodation was immaculate. Super comfortable beds, with plenty of room to rest our luggage and put our feet up. Two bathrooms was more than enough, each with their toilet and shower facilities, better than living at home :-) Everything was clean, you can tell the place is maintained daily, and we witnessed this during our stay.

The hospitality from the host, Mr Panos and his lovely wife Vasso, was beyond our expectation. They both went out of their way to offer us home made Greek coffee and fresh home baked cakes and sweets. Not just once, but a few times a day, every day! Wow, I am still amazed by this level of service!

But what we really found amazing was Mr Panos' historical knowledge of the Island. He lifted our awareness level to a point where we wanted to know more about the island and in turn it truly enhanced our experience towards the culture, people and sights even further.

We am already planning a second trip in 2018 with my family and I cannot think of a better place to base my holiday from than than from Canava Santino.

I cannot thank you enough Mr Panos, you have truly created something special there and I we have not stopped talking about how good it was. Truly a home away from home !

Thank you, thank you. By the way, thanks for that Orange Cake recipe, I cant seem to make it as well as Vasso, might have to put an order in for one and have it shipped down to Australia.
