This was a dream holiday, everything about this stay was fantastic. Thank you so much Manolis and Evi for letting us stay !!

The house has a wonderful sea view from the big terrace with dining table as well as from all front facing windows (dining room, living room and second bedroom). All other rooms face the wondeful terraced exotic gardens.

The house and terraces come fully equipped and are tastefully and lovingly decorated in greek/cycladic style with whitewashed walls, antiques and blue accessories. There is a grill on the back porch which we used to cook our evening meal of local fish, bought directly off the boat in the harbour from the fishermen.

The beach (half soft sand for the kids and half rocky for us avid snorklers) is a 2 minute foot walk down the hill. The half of the beach closer to the house is nearly empty, even in August.

There are other villas in the vicinity, but the landscaping is so nice and the gardens so large, that you know they are there but do not see them. We got invited over to share a bottle of wine and some greek cheese by a lovely neighbour.

Manolis and his wife Evi were the perfect hosts, they picked us up at the harbour to guide us to the house and were available for any questions or clarification. They equipped the bathrooms with basic products such as shampoo and soap, and the fridge held water, wine, beer and breakfast things for our first day.

I first hesitated to rent this house because from the photographs that Manolis had put up at the time, the fantastic sea view was not very clear - and we had the most lovely surprise when we got there and I am so glad I rented it.

My parents stayed in a completely seperate small unit (bedroom, bathroom, living room and small kitchen) situated under the main appartment. This was very practical for us, with our small kids, they had thus a chance to have a bit of calm and privacy while still being in the same house and on holiday together.
