To lodge in Antouanette’s cottage is a double edge sword. All your new adventures will be held up to her standard and it is so hard to top perfection! Yes, new places you visit will be great but she has raised the bar very high. Elegant, cozy, exquisite details at every turn, beautiful in it’s natural simplicity; these are the first things that come to mind to describe her place.
To me it felt like visiting one of your cool friend’s vacation homes while they are out of town. It feels like a home but not so personal that it’s awkward.
Of course, no expense seems to have been spared in it’s construction and appointments. They are of the highest quality and stylish but totally unpretentious.
Antouanette sets the stage wonderfully as she manages to provide all the information a traveler requires without being pushy. It’s essential you get to your destination smoothly but nobody wants their mom holding your hand the whole time (sorry mom) Everything is just “right.” Emails when you need them, helpful tips, and personal guidance, should you need it.
There is no barrier between you and the world of Tinos. She lays out a welcome mat and sets you free to enjoy your stay without all the pitfalls common in a town or country with which you may be unfamiliar. Novice adventurers will feel comfortable, and seasoned travelers will appreciate her service.
The cottage is close enough to the port for anything you might need and for transit while you can still stroll to a tavern or even other villages in the area. It costs a lot of time and money to embark on such a trip to Greece. Spend an extra few bucks on a quality home and make it worth it. I promise you will not be disappointed.
