Sokratis' dove house was a magical find. The design is contemporary, simple, and elegant leaving many of the original elements of the original structure. The view is beautiful and peaceful with flocks of doves circling the area. If you want a private and peaceful resting spot, I highly suggest staying here. We were there on a Sunday and could hear the liturgy echo softly throughout the hills from the nearby church. There were three of us staying and although there is one main loft with a larger bed, Sokratis converted the downstairs built in couch into an extra bed which worked out perfectly for us (although if I was a taller person I would have had trouble fitting on the downstairs bed). The wifi works great which was a saving grace as we needed to re-arranged some of our travel plans. Sokratis is wonderful and very easy to communicate with, and he gave us excellent recommendations for where to visit. The house is located approximately 15 minutes from the port and very accessible. The dirt road leading to the property and the parking area are mildly challenging to navigate. Some additional recommendations for guests include picking up a few groceries, wine, etc from the main port town since stores are less accessible up in the village hills. We loved sitting out on the veranda in the evenings and the mornings; bring some warmer clothes as it can get chilly particularly in the evenings (we were there early September); Be prepared to experience Tinos' windy weather during the summer months. The island is other-worldly with beautiful villages scattered throughout the island and historic farming walls defining the landscape, therefore a car is a must - there are many car rental agencies on the island and it's vey easy to book ahead of time. We highly recommend a stay at Sokratis' beautiful village dove house.
