We rented one villa (upstairs studio and one bedroom apartment below) for 3 nights. No words can describe the view from this apartment. The height above the sea and vantage of the island was incredible. Both the indoor and outdoor space was private and relaxing, we felt very relaxed.
The apartment sits about 350ft above sea level, so without a car you have to walk up hill. The public bus stop is not far but it is down the hill. For those who are fit, it is a 15 min walk down, about a 20 min walk up. We were traveling with my mom who is in her late 60s and she was happy she brought her hiking pole. Renting a car is possible though the switchbacks of the road require bravery. You can arrange a private transfer but we were told a taxi may be hard to come by. So in sum, prepare to hike if you are not interested in the expense of taking private transfers or renting a car.
Additionally, near the bus stop at the base of the hill there is a small market but it’s sparse for food. The closest grocery store is probably an hour walk (on a main road, dangerous for pedestrians) from the apartment and is still sparse for supplies. If you plan to cook and have grocery in the house like we did, be prepared for the trek to the grocery and to eat very simply.
But these logistics did not detract from our experience. In fact, we felt a bit more like locals and less like the privileged Americans we are.
Sofia, Christina, and Maria were amazing hosts and live in a neighboring villa. They were accommodating and kind and eager to help us arrange transportation and provide information about the island.
We would definitely stay here again!
