Staying in Lidas Home was a unique, valuable experience. It was literally living in an old typical Cycladic house whose owner just walked away leaving everything untouched. So expect some inconveniences compared with modern day standards.
The living room is memorable, large, plenty of light and antique furniture. The bedroom is rather small taking into account the size of the house. The one side of the bed touches the wall, highly inconvenient for the person sleeping on that side.
On the lower level are the bathroom and the kitchen (including a cute small siting space). We stayed three days and didn’t bother cooking, but the facilities didn’t seem appealing. However, there is a Nespresso coffee machine with abundant supply of capsules.
We had our coffee and basic breakfast at the fantastic terrace with a great view of the island and the surrounding houses.
The location of the house is ideal: very close to the parking lot and very close to the center of the village (where all restaurants etc) are. At the same time away from all the noise.
We stayed at the end of August, still at the peak of the tourist season. The price we believe was on the high side - with some improvements in the house it could be easily justifiable.
Alice (Αλίκη - Aliki in Greek) who manages the renting of the house responded immediately at all stages of our communication. She is very polite and helpful and took care to accommodate our needs. As there was no same day arrival we were allowed a late departure to match the ferry schedule.
