Isavella's sanctuary is a true gem.
My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Greece, and spent a couple of nights at Isavella's home. It was everything we imagined, and more! It was perfect.
The cave is situated in the middle of "everything" - take a turn on the busy Main Street and you're there! It was quiet enough at night because it was just off the main street. There is a restaurant directly next to the cave, and in the mornings voices and conversations from their terrace would often drift by, but it was a pleasant sort of chatter and definitely not disruptive in any way.
The home itself is HUGE and we had a hard time making use of all the space we had as a couple! There is one bedroom downstairs and one upstairs. Keep in mind: there is no indoor connection between both rooms. If some members of the family are staying in the bedroom upstairs (which has its own bathroom and is also beautiful!), they would have to come down the stairs and enter from the main door to get into the main shared space. As a paediatrician-in-training, just have to mention that it might be a little dangerous for children to be climbing up and down those narrow steps without supervision. But overall, I think the space is perfect for a family of 4 or 2 couples travelling together.
The home was also BEAUTIFULLY decorated. Such thoughtful touches laced with simplicity and balanced with functionality. The artwork also was thought-provoking. Even Isavella's little cave-closet was so quaint! Lastly, there is also the most adorable little nook accessible from the lower floor bedroom that is just magic. Perfect for reading or journalling.
We checked out very early on our second day, so were only able to have breakfast one morning. It was fantastic. A very sweet lady brought it in a basket, topped with a pretty rose. The breakfast was huge and so satisfying and delicious. They also accommodated us being vegetarians very well.
Overall, I have only glowing things to say about Isavella's home and Isavella herself! She was communicative, quick to answer, very accommodating and very lovely. Her beautiful spirit is also laced through the way the space is decorated and presented. We loved our time there! It would be a dream come true to come back!
