Before staying at the Peratsi maisonette I had already been impressed by the photos. I felt they looked too good to be true. However, reality exceeded my expectations. The house is modern and fully-equipped, while also traditional and designed so as to respect the natural surroundings. The interior is both stylish and elegant but also cozy, and the exterior includes a green patio (very beautiful olive tree in the middle!) and three very large open-air porches (the sunset from the porch is simply epic!) overlooking the sea. The house was spick and span and so were the utensils and linen. There are a number of taverns and restaurants within walking distance, while Chora (the island’s capital) is only 5 kilometers away. Sotiria and her son, Jacob, are the most discreet and attentive hosts a visitor can hope for and are always there to help with any type of request. Sotiria’s great sense of humor and Jacob’s dedication and professionalism made me feel at home right from the beginning. They welcomed us with an impressive variety of local goodies, including freshly-baked pies, local cheese, and home-grown veggies. This was my first time on Naxos. It is definitely a must-visit island, as it combines a relaxed atmosphere with a variety of sightseeing opportunities for the most adventurous travelers. I’m planning on returning as soon as possible and I highly recommend staying at the Peratsi maisonette.
