I have had the most wonderful experience staying for a week at Ada's home. The view from the house is wonderful and unobstructed and we spent most of our time when at home, outside in the nice and cosy veranda which included a sitting area as well as a big dinning table.
The house was impeccably clean and as I am very obsessive in regards to cleanliness, I have to give it a 10/10. The house was also very well preserved and freshly painted and everything worked as expected. Ada made sure that we had everything needed for our stay such as a fully equipped kitchen including a microwave, a dish washer, a washing machine and a whole range of table and kitchen ware.
Ada was a very warm host and she greeted us with a box of cookies from a local bakery, a very nice and welcoming gesture. She spent a long time explaining how everything worked such as the kitchen appliances, the water heater and she also had printed out all necessary information regarding important phone numbers, wifi codes. She also supplied us with maps and many brochures for what to do and see and where to eat while in Tinos. Extra sheets and towels were also available in case we needed them.
A few words regarding the location of the house: The house is situated in Agios Sostis, an area in the southeast of the island and just 5.5km from the main town (Chora). Throughout the duration of my stay, I visited many places and many beaches all around Tinos and if I were to go back, I would chose again to stay in Agios Sostis for three reasons. The first one being the proximity to Chora which is only a 10 min drive. Chora has many restaurants, cafes, bakeries with local delicacies as well as many little shops to visit. The second being that Agios Sostis has a very nice, long and organized beach which considered one of the most beautiful and popular ones in Tinos. Right next to Agios Sostis beach, there are also Agios Fokas and Agios Ioannis Porto, two beaches equally beautiful. Last, the view from Agios Sostis, not only during daytime but also at night where one can see the lights from Mykonos, is very spectacular!I strongly recommend Ada's house as a vacation property because of the reasons mentioned above and if you are searching in which part of Tinos you should stay, Agios Sostis is one of the best choices.
Thank you Ada for making our vacation memorable!
