This small and beautifully light house presents faithfully to the website photos - and yet we were still surprised by the lovely living environment that is created by the simplicity of the design of the house itself and the carefully selected and very comfortable furnishings. It felt very spacious for two people, and very peaceful with the view over the rocky fields to the mountains and monastery. The Rodies houses are situated on the edge of the stunning small Chora, and we can confirm that it is indeed a level 5 minute walk into the centre and the bus stop is easily accessed.
Though our first impressions of the Chora was that it was maybe too dominated by travellers, (albeit quiet, well-behaved ones!), the local village life revealed itself over the September week we were there, adding to the pleasures of staying on this wildly beautiful island and in this lovely accommodation.
Many thanks to Lisbet, who welcomed us at the ferry, was available throughout our stay if and as needed, and returned us to the ferry and said goodbye.
