When we arrived for our week’s stay at the villa, Chrisa’s husband Manolis met us at the door with the most welcoming warm smile. I knew our stay in Naxos would be lovely and it far exceeded our expectations. Chrisa shortly appeared and gave us lemonade, freshly squeezed. She had left food in the refrigerator and brought more delights during our stay.
The villa’s architecture, furnishings and placement on the mountain are spectacular. It was so comforting for us that we spent several days simply enjoying their home and the surroundings
The villa is on a main road, so it is easy to get to many places, yet it is situated below the road so we heard no traffic. The villa has an open first floor with comfortable seating areas, a formal dining area and spacious kitchen. We cook our own meals and the kitchen provided all we needed for preparing, roasting, cooking, grilling and presenting. Chrisa provides basic items (oil, vinegar, spices) which are fresh. There are 4 beautiful patios to enjoy from the villa, each with comfortable seating, and provide different mountain vistas. The villa has two full bathrooms. Laundry and toiletry supplies are provided. The wifi is fully functional and we could easily stream. The villa is impeccably clean. Bed, kitchen and bath linens are of excellent quality and all pressed.
There are hiking trails just out the property gate which will take you around this island. An historic church is less than 2 km away. I ran on the mountainside daily.
The icing on the cake are Chrisa and Manolis. They are constantly working on the property. Chrisa cames daily to sweep and makes sure the property is kept up. She also generously brought us food and had us to dinner one night.
Chrisa has a youthful and enigmatic love of life which made us feel more than welcome and at home and Manolis is always smiling. If you want to experience the Naxos life, this is the place.
