Elina, the owner of the house, has been great. She has been really helpful in more than one way. It felt that she genuinely wanted us to have a good time in her house in Patmos. She went out of her way to sucure us cars and motorbikes (difficult to obtain otherwise in Patmos in August and she put us in contact with people that can help out with boats etc). The house is fantastic and full of charm and history. It is really a bit like entering a museum. Very elegant with a great location in the old town of the Chora in Patmos. Everything is walking distance and the views from the windows and the terrace are awesome. It is a real home. The home may perhaps not have all the contemporary luxuries of a modern house or villa, but this is abundantly made up for with the style, beauty and charm of the house. Not all rooms are equal in the house but that has to be expected in a period mansion. There was a daily cleaning lady which was also very nice and helpful. She contributed much to making us feel at home. Elina has a lot of care for her home and rightfully wants the guests to have a full Patmos experience. This is definitely a place where we'd like to come back to.
