We came here in uncertain times - end of season - and then we had a corona-lockdown. The dovecote was a perfect cozy home, far away from all hectic and with so much local flair. We enjoyed the days on the veranda and got work done with reliable wifi, enjoyed fantastic hikes on this island, where every corner offers a new landscape... The house is as amazing as in the pictures, but then you get the sound, the smell and the good vibe all around on top. Sokratis was an amazing host to us, worrying about the problems we might face due to the situation (but we got along well), was always in touch and in general just a lovely, caring person. It can’t be more perfect than that - and we plan on coming back some time, to enjoy Tinos when things in the world settle. Just wow - and a big thank you and big hugs. (Also: mums marmelade, the homemade olive oil and raki. Which was just an entry to the world of tinos food: go find kariki cheese!) This house and it’s host is one of the places you better keep a secret, but here: I can‘t recommend it highly enough.
