This was the first stop of three islands for my wife and I's honeymoon. We wanted something with character, something more authentic Greek than your typical room.
This place was EVERYTHING plus more. Manolis was a perfect and gracious house. He contacted me a few times leading up to the trip, offered to pick us up from the port, and offered anything we could think of to help. He met us at the port on time, and helped us with the rental car. Manolis is a wonderful and sincere man, who cares a great deal for his guests. He's like the Greek uncle you never had. Trust me.
The house is his 3 year labor of love. It's a family owned house, which he himself restored. Gorgeous, simple, clean, and everything works how it should. Hot water and AC work great, in addition to a ful kitchen. It's perfect if you buy groceries, to cook breakfast, like we did. Eat in peace and quiet before your day of beaches and tourists. You are out in the country, but it's only 10 minutes into town. Milos is a small island, so it's perfect. There's also laundry on site, a patio with BBQ, and wifi. Conveniences you'll love to make plans for your next island.
The value of this property CANNOT be emphasized enough. Most importantly however, is how outstanding of a host Manolis was, and his thoughtful wife who had a bottle of wine in the frige, plus she handmade a parting gift out of ceramics. My wife was tearing up a bit as we drove to the harbor upon leaving, because our experience was that wonderful. Manolis is the epitome of why we came to Greece. I only hope our paths cross again.
