I spent 10 days with my family at the Bee’s Nest and everything was fantastic .
The host: communication with Fotini was super easy, and even though we actually didn’t meet in person, her warmth and kindness could be felt through her messages. She was very helpful and responsive.
The house: built in a Cycladic style, it is just PERFECT , very clean and smartly arranged and furnished. We simply adored it. Every detail was done with care and taste, it’s such a pleasant place to come back to after a tiring day at the beach! The bedrooms are small but just perfect for our needs and so cozy! Nice quality bedding and comfortable mattress and pillows allowed us to sleep very well. Closets are spacious enough for a family of 4. The kitchen has everything you need to prep your meals and I really appreciated that silverware and dinnerware are of good quality, not the usual cheap stuff you find in rentals. Hot water was plentiful and water pressure very good. The water actually tastes good, so we didn’t have to buy expensive bottles at the market, just refilled the ones we had and put them in the fridge, saving money, hassle and plastic. The wind was blowing fiercely during all our stay, so the house stayed fresh and we didn’t need air conditioning at night. Windows are of good quality, and keep noise and heat out. The terrace is very nice and you have a pickaboo view of the sunset. A nice big concrete table and benches allowed us to eat outside and enjoy a glass of wine watching the sky turn pink in the evening.
Location: extremely convenient. Only 5 minutes to a nice beach, 10 minutes to busy and charming Naoussa, but in a very quiet residential area. It was so quiet that we could actually sleep with the windows open without being disturbed. In 10 minutes max shops (bakery, mini markets, butchery, cafes) can be reached. All these distances are on foot. When taking the car, it’s very easy to get out of town, avoiding “downtown” traffic, that in the morning and evening can be quite intense. Easy and free parking around the house.
The Bee’s nest is a place I won’t forget easily, we had the most pleasant stay, and it really felt like home. Thank you Fotini!
