I was allowed to spend four weeks in this wonderful place for my work. The house called "The Pulse" is a small, hidden jewel. Actually, one would not want to recommend it at all, so that this place can remain a worthy insider tip... But: Good things should be shared! "The Pulse" is a lovingly and tastefully restored traditional house on the most beautiful place of Astypalea, the Chora, which conveys a special feeling of pleasant peace and seclusion. The house has a wonderful, spacious patio with a view of the sea, planted with many flowers and bordered by a majestic eucalyptus tree, among others. It is precisely this colourfulness that is soothing to the eye on the otherwise rather barren island of Asytpalea - and is pleasantly contrasted inside the house by the selective use of yellow on a predominantly white surface. The house is a delight for any aesthete and, with its fully functional kitchen, among other things, also meets every requirement on the practical level. This is matched by the approachable, very pleasant interaction with the host, George, who was not only always approachable but also very helpful and generous. This is where people with style and a location with style meet! Big compliment!
