When I saw the listing and booked Irina’s house, I knew I had booked a great place. However, on arrival, I realized how great it truly is. Photos don’t begin to describe how stunningly beautiful Irina’s house really is.
View- The view is like none you’ll find in Folegandros. It is absolutely breathtaking. Photos don’t begin to describe the reality of the view from the second level terrace. Every time I went out there my breath was taken away.
House - the house itself is adorable and very nicely designed. Rustic, and charming and comfortable and stylish, I was lucky to have found such a beautiful place in Folegandros. The beds were comfy. I slept solidly with sea breezes blowing thorough the house and with the sound of birds chirping from the front windows. The kitchen is well equipped. A washing machine was helpful as I was traveling many weeks.
Location: located in the Castro, I was steps away from the centre of Chora/town, where all the shops and restaurants are located. It was a great spot to wander the town, just steps away from all the places where you’ll want to spend evenings eating and drinking. And with close access to the bus that will take you around the island, or the parking lot where you can leave your rental scooter or car for you can explore the island.
Host - Irina is very responsive and communicative, and was very helpful with suggestions on what to see and do in Folegandros. Thoughtful touches like offering beach towels and a beach umbrella make Irina the ultimate host.
Cleanliness - the house was spotless. The beds were crisp and white.
I was lucky to have been able to stayed in Irina’s beautiful home. It was key to making my visit to Folegandros so wonderful. The island is magical, and so is Irina’s home.
