Villa Genadio is a truly exceptional place in an inspiring, spectacular, yet secret corner of Patmos. Authenticity, honesty, and warmth in design blend in perfectly well with the utmost care for guests' comfort, guaranteeing a pleasant and memorable stay for friends or small families travelling together. Our wonderful host, Lefteris, welcomed us in the port of Skalla on a rather windy early spring night, spotting us immediately as we disembarked. He also arranged for a rented car to be available upon our arrival which was crucial given the shortness of our stay. The house is a true delight: every corner, every single item of furniture and other utensils are carefully chosen to offer fascinating insights into the material culture of times past on the island, while also serving guests' convenience perfectly well; appliances (such as electric heaters and a great coffee machine) were in outstanding working order. A generous ball of fresh fruit and a cake baked with home-produced lemons awaited us in the kitchen, whose window overlooks the bay of Skalla, offering a morning spectacle to which no photograph can do justice. Lefteris was helpful and caring beyond belief: never imposing but always available when we needed assistance, and also offering insights when asked into everyday life on Patmos, particularly into the challenges a coast guard faces in this inspiring part of the Levant today. Thank you for an unforgettable weekend!
