Rena provided a wonderful place to stay, and we absolutely could not have done it without the help of her porter who carried our suitcases. The stairs to Maison Faros do require very good health and the right shoes. My fiancee' has a bad hip and he had some pain and throbbing from the climb. But those same stairs offer you a lot of privacy in a town often swamped with cruise ship tour groups, so there are definite advantages to this location. Just be informed about the stairs and make a decision based on your own ability.
Rena provided wonderful hospitality and her house exceeded our expectations for size. She also throws in a few extra comforts to make your stay even more enjoyable.
