I have to start my review by talking about the outdoor space Maria has at her house.
Wow! It is amazing. There is a huge beautiful and stylish garden with fruits and vegetables that you can eat directly from the trees, lots of colorful flowers, a brand new BBQ area, a basketball court and the most amazing view to the sea and the sunset. It is all really breathtaking.
We rented the semi-basement (she has 2 other places available also - the big house and the studio). All the places share the garden area but that is not a problem at all. The apartment is very spacious and private with one big bedroom, very nice bed sheets, towels and a very comfortable bed/pillows. Big living room with equally comfortable sofa-beds, big TV and dinner table, an equipped kitchen, a nice bathroom. More than enough room for 3 people. There is also a modern washer for your clothes.
Maria is one of the nicest and kindest hosts we´ve ever met! She answers everything quickly. She provided us with lots of goodies like bread, local olive oil, refreshments, a delicious apricot jam that she makes herself with the fruits from the garden, etc. She is very attentive to details and amenities of all kind like proving sand beds and umbrella for the beach.
She also went to the port to pick us up (make sure to rent a car to discover the island or you can walk to the Prokopios Beach there is right there. Amazing blue water!) and left me and my dad a lovely birthday card by our arrival. Lot´s of care involved here :)
This place is a heaven for kids too! Besides all the room to run and play, she provides lots of toys available. There is also a lovely dog called Fedra (I miss her already), the beautiful cat Themis, 2 turtles and lots of colorful birds and butterflies all around.
The beautiful balcony with a private little garden where we had all our meals was so nice and peaceful.
Don´t lose time anymore, just choose one of her places and prepare to have the most amazing time in Naxos!
Thank you, Maria, for everything. I hope we can meet you again sometime.
Natalia, Paulo and Nicolau.
