A beautiful little house, with the a minimalism that reminds you ''we don't need much''.
Made with so much love, professionalism and passion.
The house is located in a small village outside Batsi (10min away by car), on top of a hill with a beautiful view, which it was proven after we explored the island a great location to be.
A small picturesque traditional path with few beautiful white painted stairs takes you to the house. You have an easy access to supermarkets, bakeries and night life of Batsi and Gavrio, nearby beaches and other small villages of the island. Also its very close to the port only 25min by car.
You get the chance to enjoy peace, natural beauty and the traditional local life of an era that some of us have memories and we would love our kids to get the experience of picking up blackberries directly from the bush leading to the house. Picking up grapes, figs or walnuts from the trees that surround the house and enjoying the beauty of the flowers. Also filling up your bottle with fresh drinking water from a mountain spring few steps above the house.
My daughter loved visiting the hencoop and feeding the chickens everyday, her joy was the hugest rewards ( no noise or any smell reaches the house because they are located in a wise distance), plus the smiles and excitement she would get every time she had the chance to see local ships or goats, moving around peacefully, was a bless.
Last but not least the host Mr. Giannis, was an honer to meet him, an educated, humble, discreet, welcoming, hardworking, multitasking man that was always ready to help us, guide us, inform us. He was providing us with fresh eggs and vegetables of his own garden.
Since we spend a month at this house we ended up enjoying conversations, celebrating my birthday with his family and even sharing delights we would cook. His lovely wife and amazing little dog made us feel like home too. I do recommend this place for a family with young kids (5yr and above), a couple of friends or an elder couple that know the value of being in harmony with the environment of the mediterranean sky, land and sea.
