Fantastic! Upon arrival, the villa was very clean and we were welcomed with a glass of fresh orange juice from the farm and a bottle of white wine. The home was large for two people and could comfortably keep 4-6+ people. The terrace was the selling point of the Erato villa and had a beautiful view over the ocean, the island of Paros, and the mountains. The jacuzzi on the terrace was a romantic place to share a drink with your partner and watch the sunset. The bed was comfortable and the bathrooms, clean. The attention to detail with the decorations was also wonderful and comprised of local Naxian and Greek goods. The kitchen was full sized and well equipped for our week vacation. The perfect location for experiencing Naxos without the hustle and bustle of the downtown area.
We opted to walk to downtown Chora a few days which was about 2km. The road is safe in the day and night for walking but very dark so walking at night can be dangerous with many cars and blind corners. Renting a car/bike/buggy would be advised for this reason. The location is good if you plan on spending time driving to farther beaches or to the villages as you do not have to navigate the traffic, parking difficulties and narrow roads of Chora. The price was also within a budget so a family could stay comfortably and within budget even in the summer busy times.
Finally, Mrs. Elena was a great host and has over 20 years of expertise entertaining people in her villas. She is very knowledgeable about the island and can get you great deals on rental items. She also lives on the property and always seemed available to help us with our needs.
