An absolutely amazing stay! Just came home from a superb vacation and can really recommend this place! Me, my boyfriend and my parents (4 adults) spend one week (week 42) together at "Maloftis house" (Malofti is their surname)/ Vila 2. There was plenty of room, seperate bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and everything is absolutely clean and beautifully decorated - very cozy and unique feeling.
The balcony with the jacuzzi (too cold for us this time of year, but beautiful) is the ultimate beautiful, silent and private hangout place and we loved spending time here; morning coffee, reading, napping, talking and relaxing - with the most amazing view!
The garden was lovely with all kinds of fruits and we were welcome to taste :-) Oranges, limes, lemons, pomegranates etc - truly lovely!
Mihaelis is very friendly and warm, and helped us a lot - for instance renting a car for a good price and with great service (it took approx. 1 hour from my message to Mihaeli about car-rental, untill a great car was rented (and a very good price!) and we were ready to explore the island)!
We loved the city in the mountains called Menetes (look for "Sofias place" in the main road - a nice, local and unique Greek tavern - where we had probably the most authentic and best Greek meal during the entire week (and btw it was absolutely NOT expensive at all!)..
You can hike (about 4 km) or drive 5-10 min. to Amoopi beach which is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a day at the beach! Otherwise, walk to the great spot on the city-beach (can highly recommend the area around Sardegna barbeque - great 'fatboys' and sunbeds).. The city-beach is beautiful and the water is soooo clean and nice - so you don't need a car unless you want to explore the island further. Otherwise you can always take a taxi from the taxi-station 5 minutes on foot down the hill (or ask Mihaeli to contact one for you).
5 minutes walk down to city-center, supermarket, shops, restaurants and port of Pigadia (Karpathos) and maybe 10/15 minutes to the great part of the city beach!
We highly recommend this place - and want to come back next year and bring the entire family! If you rent the whole place you can stay 10 people together :-)
