Our stay at the island farmhouse was a thoroughly relaxing experience, made all the more so by the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Maria and her family. From excellent tips on car hire companies, restaurants, villages and towns worth visiting right through to Tinos's history, architecture and geology, all of our questions about this engaging island were answered. Small details like milk in the fridge upon our (late) arrival, fresh towels and sheets every few days and fresh fruit and vegetables unobtrusively delivered almost daily by Maria's father were immensely appreciated and synonymous with the hospitality found in this home and on Tinos in general.

Just a short stroll from a quiet beach serviced by a café and taverna, the house itself is delightfully decorated with a designer's eye and the outside space is littered with areas to sit, whether in sun or shade, under the stars or overlooking the sea depending on your desires at that particular time.

All-in-all, this is a wonderful place to spend some proper 'down-time'.
