Our stay in Ampela was absolutely fantastic, the whole family, George, Elefteria and their daughter Aggeliki, are some of the nicest and warmest people you'll have the chance to meet.
Our apartment was right on the hill overlooking the sea, so needless to say that the view was an absolute delight. The place is perfectly clean and upon arrival we had the chance to taste Elefteria's home made liquor, 10/10.
Aggeliki, their daughter, who is mostly in charge with managing reservations and guests, is always available to help and give you any information you need if you need it.
The beach is a minute away by foot, down the hill, and there is a very nice restaurant right next to the beach.
I would suggest renting a car, because the closest mini market is a 10-15 min walk across a hill, which isn't always easy if you have to carry bottles of water or other heavy stuff. And obviously if you want to visit the rest of the island it's better to have a car, though we (two girls) didn't rent a car and did some hitchhiking and never had the slightest problem, people are extremely nice.
Would definitely recommend it and hope to be back soon!
