Our stay at Mimalis was quite extraordinary. The house is a really charming place - it feels solid, steeped in history, instantly homely. Eleni and Asteris are fantastic hosts - warm, welcoming and friendly, providing us with a delicious breakfast in bed each morning.

The flat was clean, and cleaned afresh daily; it never felt too small or rattling-around large for us as a couple. It was also the only place which came stocked with three separate types of coffee.

Asteris runs the nearby Sand Gallery - a curious and fascinating place - and his enthusiasm and expertise really helped us get to grips with the insane volcanic geology of Milos. Also, as a result, the flat is full of really excellent rocks. If you like excellent rocks, or have ever suspected you might like excellent rocks, I urge you to stay at Mimalis.

We loved our stay here - I found a grin spreading across my face every time the delicate turquoise railing up to the flat came into view. We hope to come again. I cannot recommend it enough.
