Mary and her family were at the property to meet us and gave us a very warm welcome despite the fact that we were late and they were waiting to go to the beach! Ponente is a beautiful, stylish and cosy place to stay. Massive attention to details such as - lavender bags for a relaxing sleep, soft Eco slippers, delicious fluffy towels and good quality nice products to use in the bathroom. The fridge was stocked with milk, water, butter, orange juice and beer! The kitchen is new and well equipped for such a small space. There is even a brand new gas fired grill platey thing to cook on outside as well as a two ring, grill/oven.
The bed is large and comfortable with soft feather pillows. The sitting area is also comfy - with a sofa, armchair and footstool . The TV can be seen from the sitting room or bed. The bathroom is cute with a interesting rock set into the floor (covered with glass that you can walk on).
We didn't have a car but managed to get to the nearest beach on foot which took about 30 minutes. There is a bus stop 15 minutes walk down the hill- a good service runs around the southern end of the island. We used the bus to go to Ermopouli and Galissas for the beach and food.
We really enjoyed our stay - I particularly liked the way that Mary has designed the house and all of the lovely touches that made for a great stay!
