Dimitris’ stone house is set in a truly delightful walled garden with an orange and a lemon tree and masses of bougainvillea. For such a convenient location (3 minute walk down to main square) the immediate vicinity is surprisingly quiet, the one significant noise source being the morning church bells!
Luckily for us, the neighbouring family house was empty, and the garden was therefore very private.
The small kitchen, with two burner induction hob (a tight squeeze for two pans) was generally well equipped for simple meal preparation.
Air conditioning is mercifully silent, although we found that leaving windows open at night (we stayed during September) and the ceiling fan on meant a/c wasn’t necessary.
Most windows have insect screens but we still got bitten in the night. The stone finish to inside walls meant that we couldn’t see mozzies on the walls. It might be worth considering a plug in insect killer or smoke coils.
The shower is great. The main bed is huge and very comfortable although we found that sheets didn’t quite fit and came “untucked”. There’s no space around the bottom of the bed so climbing over ones partner to get up in the night might be an issue.
Others have commented on the narrow steps up to the roof terrace. Views from the roof terrace are better than suggested by the photos!
A comfortable and conveniently located house for a couple.
