Christine’s house is simply wonderful in the most tranquil of locations. Christine is also a wonderful host who from the moment we booked could not be more helpful and attentive. The house itself is beautiful and has only been refurbished this year. It’s immaculate with a fantastic bathroom including a luxurious walk in shower. The only thing to note is that to get to the wonderful bedroom and balcony upstairs you have to be quite agile as the staircase is very steep and you enter into the bedroom through a hatch. That said it’s simply fantastic and to lay in bed listening to the waves breaking literally metres from the house is magical. Mandriaka is a beautiful tiny fishing village situated on its own at the end of a road which offers one way in and one way out. It consists of a few houses, a picturesque harbour and a Taverna , Medusa that serves fantastic food and is always full. Christine’s property although close to Medusa is far enough away to remain private. What’s fantastic is that you are able to sit on your terrace and the staff at Medusa will happily serve you. Due to the location of mandrakia you do need transport. Christine could not have been more helpful and is happy to advise on activities and places to eat. We will definitely be returning to Christine’s house and cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you Christine for such a wonderful stay. Book it, You will not be disappointed!!!!
