What a wonderful place to stay and see this fantastic city and island.
We had the pleasure of spending two weeks here in the middle of October and the house is everything we could not have hoped for and more. It was clean well furnished with a combination of modern and traditionally Greek, Paola is a perfect host.
The entrance courtyard is wonderful, open to the sky leading into the kitchen which has everything you could want, induction hob, micrwave, toaster, kettle, pots pans, fridge, pantry and coffee machine. The table and chairs are traditional ‘farm house’ we would call in the UK.
The main bathroom is on the ground floor and is excellent. A walkin shower, toilet and basin all immaculate with fresh towels and soap. Also on the ground floor is the utility which has a toilet, washing machine and basin, iron and ironing board again all clean and in excellent order.
The open stairs lead up to the first floor where there is the ‘master’ bedroom with a large king size bed, wardrobe statement chair and chest of drawers all beautiful. There is a second bedroom on this floor with a small toilet and shower with again complete with soap and basin next door to it.
Then the most wonderful part of the house. A staircase leads to the third floor sitting room with windows on all four sides with views of the city and harbours. Finally there is access to the roof terrace via a steep set of 4 steps, yes not for the very young or very old but when one gets to the roof terrace it is a wonder to behold with panoramic views of the city, its walls the three harbours and views of Turkey across the bay, it is worth the effort!
The location is ideal close to all the restaurants, cafes, shops and the wonderful historic sights of the Old City we cannot recommend it highly enough. We spent two happy weeks here in October and the weather was warm, sunny and although there is air conditioning in all the main rooms we didn't need it as there are plenty of windows to open, it might be needed in July and August though as we gather it gets very hot.
