Anna is a generous and truly fantastic host. From the moment we arrived on Milos she was so helpful - giving our taxi driver exact directions over the phone, meeting us at the property and showing us around, helping us to arrange a car rental, and giving us plenty of recommendations for things to do on the island.
The house itself is stunning - nestled on a hill and slightly sunken away from the road, it overlooks the outskirts of Pera Triovasalos. It has a large west-facing terrace (with plenty of furniture) which was perfect for relaxing on and enjoying the sunset. Inside, the house is decorated beautifully - lots of lovely Greek artwork and some beautiful restored furniture. Everything is so colourful but complementary! The bedrooms and lounge have high ceilings and lots of windows, making the whole front of the house very bright and airy.
The kitchen and bathroom are then at the back of the house, raised by a few steps. If you open the front and back doors you can get a great breeze flowing through the house - we ended up not needing to use the air conditioning unit in the lounge so much. There's plenty of room to cook and eat in the kitchen, and all of the appliances were functional and modern. Anna left the kitchen stocked with lots of bottled water, and (more importantly!) teabags and fresh coffee. The traditional chimney oven is still intact, but has been repurposed as a tea/coffee point with an electric kettle and drip coffee maker, which I thought was a really nice touch.
We had no issues with the hot water and the shower in the bathroom was great. There's also a modern washing machine in the bathroom, already stocked with detergent and softener, which was very useful. The beds and sofa were perfectly comfortable and there was plenty of storage space for clothes etc. in the bedrooms (drawers and wardrobes).
Overall we had an absolutely perfect time in Milos and where we stayed was a huge part of that. Bravo Anna! We will see you again if we return to Milos!
