Staying at Panteli’s was like being transported to another world. The house is perfectly situated: so tranquil with heavenly views. Though we, of course, visited the busier east and south of the island, we much preferred the west, which is where Panteli’s is situated. The house itself is perfect: clean and pared-back but with everything you need. We loved sitting on the patio and looking out at the sea in the evening. As others have said, you definitely need a 4x4 to drive all the way to the house but we found this just added to the feeling of adventure. The local taverna, Emporios, was our favourite and we visited several times for lunch and dinner.
Panteli was the perfect host. He was extremely efficient, well-informed and helpful whenever we needed anything. Even though there’s no WiFi he responded quickly to me that there is a good 4G signal there (I needed internet access for work), which meant that I could work easily by using a local SIM (10€) to hotspot my computers. This is a great option if, like me, you do need to be able to access the internet - the signal was really strong and I ran Zoom calls, etc. without any issue.
Honestly, as others have said, this place is wonderful: we left extremely reluctantly!
