Xenia's place is a charming house that has been build in the traditional Kimolian architecture of the old houses that can be found in the 16th century castle, which is a stone's throw away. So if you stay at Xenia's house and you are a history buff you will get a taste of the late medieval/renaissance domestic environment of Kimolos. In contrast to the houses of the 16th century, Xenia's lodging was sparkling clean, with plates and silverware, all essential electric appliances including an electric briki pot to make Greek coffee and two balconies with wonderful view to the sea. The house is next to the vibrant center of the village and everything (mini-markets, cafes and restaurants) is a short walk distance away. Xenia and her husband are very friendly and willing to help with anything that comes up; they even offered to help us carry our luggage to the room on the first day. All in all, I strongly recommend considering Xenia's house if you want to get the full experience of staying within the village of Kimolos.
