We had a great stay at Alexandra’s who was reactive and helpful even before we arrived, providing usefull tips and contacts (scooters...).
I start with the extras because it’s sometimes what makes the difference: the pick-up at the port and the arrival at the house with the first-aid kit: sweets, beverages... so you don’t have to rush to the supermarket as soon as arrived but just relax.
During the week, as Alexandra stood nearby, she kindly provided daily surprises such as sweets or greens from the garden...
The house was very convenient for 2 couples and can easily fit for more. The 3 rooms are simple and nice : 2 sunny rooms upstairs with direct access to a large terrasse where we enjoyed breakfasts and some dinners with great sunsets (2 opposite sea views). There’s no shade on the terrasse or garden during the day so we couldn’t stay here in the afternoon.
The ground level has a fully equiped kitchen connected to a small terrasse.
The 3rd room at this level has it’s privacy with direct door to the garden.
The 2 bathrooms are also very nice with the local open shower.
No shades in the rooms so the light could disturb some... actually we enjoyed waking up slowly all doors and windows open, with air passing through. No need of air conditioning, better open everything, with no security issue in the area (neither on the entire island).
The house appeared to us better than expected and less rustic as the pictures could suggest. It’s all very cosy, and stick to Airbnb’s original spirit: stay in a family home in a local mood that is not a « decor » set.
The traditional Chora village is a 5 to 10min walk and with scooters you reach quickly every good spots of the island. So the position was very good to our opinion, even if not by the water nor in the main village.
We do recommand a stay!
