I am fairly well-traveled, and this may be my favorite place I have ever stayed in my life. Not only are the property and rooms incredibly well-appointed (everything is the highest quality and nothing you need is lacking), but I can only describe Maria’s incredible taste and detail in decorating as that of an artist. Maria ensured we had everything we needed with excellent communication, but also surprised us with the most thoughtful “welcome gifts” (olive oil soap, a fruit basket, juices, local jams and honey, dried figs, local tinned snacks, a loaf of bakery bread, and so much more), all of which we used and none of which went to waste! And the property itself has so much to offer, we could have happily never left our AirBnb to see the rest of the island and we still would have had a five star vacation. Of course, we did leave to explore, and when we did Maria’s “travel guide” she sent us was indispensable. You might get such travel guides from other AirBnb hosts, but Maria’s recommendations are distinguished by her very good taste. She understands the history of the island, knows it’s local artisans (some of which have family ties), and tells a story with each recommendation she makes, which makes learning about a new country very special. Maria went out of her way to share all of the knowledge she has cultivated about Naxos, and me and my friends are richer people for having met Maria. I am so grateful she shared her world a little with us, as well as this amazing property.
