We absolutely loved the place, location and the panoramic views of the mountains. Ioannis was a great host who picked us up from the ferry port and made checkin in very easy for us. He shared some great tips where to go for swimming, hiking and inland sightseeing. If you wanna go swimming or stand up paddling the Santa Maria Beach is a great spot to enjoy crystal clear water and underwater views.
The place itself is very well maintained, super clean and there are private outdoor areas for everyone as well as some shared areas (playground, BBQ). From our terrace we had an amazing view onto the mountains and simply loved reading and relaxing there. You can also cook small or medium sized meals, make tea or coffee and there is a separate table to either work, write or read. A bakery, a small shop and small open air cinema is only 3-4 minutes to walk to.
You won’t need to worry about a car at all if you can enjoy an easy 7-8 minute walk to the water front (small beach, swimming) and another 5 minutes to the port/bus station passing restaurants (Mira) and bars to enjoy food, the sea view or sunset. The old town is about 10 minutes to walk to (same direction). You can hop on busses to reach most places on the island. There is also a bus going to another port to hop on the ferry to Antiparos.
We can absolutely recommend it for relaxed and quiet holidays, especially if you want to be away from the crowds in peak season but still in walking distance to the action if you actually want it. Thanks a lot.
