We think that the stone house is possibly the best place that you could choose to stay in the whole of Kos! It is centrally located to explore both ends of the island. It feels so quiet and secluded- you can't see any other houses nearby- just stunning views across the sea to the other islands at the front, and mountain views to the back and surrounded by olive trees. The only noise was from neighbours cockerels in the morning! It is however only a short 15 min walk up through the back garden and a quiet side road to get to Zia with all the bustle of little tourist shops and tavernas- great for a meal out in the evening with the sunset views over the island (although you can't beat the view from the house itself). We stayed as a couple and found the place very comfortable and well equipped, including reliable Wifi, a large TV (bring the correct adaptor and we could watch whatever we wanted from iPad/ lap top), plus the sound system with bluetooth connection was a great bonus. The place would be great for a family, as plenty of space outside for kids to play (basket ball and football net set up permanently outside) as well as BBQ facilities. I guess if you want a holiday where you want to be able to walk out of your room on to a beach or pool, this might not be for you, but if you have a hire car/ motorbike and enjoy amazing views and exploring, this is perfect. There are some fantastic walks/ hikes that can be done right from the house, including up to one of the highest mountain points on the island (bring sturdy footwear!). The house was well maintained, clean and very secure. Our host, Nikko was very welcoming and helpful. He waited out late for us in the dark when we arrived to ensure that we found the place OK and was available by text/ WhatsApp anytime we needed to ask something. We arrived to a fridge stocked with sandwiches, pastries, drinks and a basket of fresh fruit, which was very welcome after travelling and arriving late and hungry! In all, staying at this place was probably the highlight of our time in Kos.
