Stelios house is absolutely gorgeous and even better than the photos suggested. It is at the top of the village so the view is spectacular and there's always a breeze keeping you cool during the hot summer days.
The house is beautifully decorated and from the moment you step in you start wishing you could stay longer.
Check-in was easy; Katerina (Stelios' aunt) and her daughter were there to help us get settled and show us how everything around the house worked and answer all of our questions. They also had stocked the kitchen with breakfast foods and a variety of sweet fruits. Tap water is potable so there was no need to buy any.
Stelios attention to detail was present everywhere you looked around the house. Not only the decoration was on point, he also has beach towels in adorable beach bags ready for you to carry to the beach and even a beach umbrella should you prefer not rent beach beds/umbrella at the beach. There's also a washer and detergent should you want to do laundry. The lis of recommendations shared by Stelios is very comprehensive and quite good. Our stay was only 3 nights so we didn't get to try out every place, but those we did were excellent. Stelios also recommended a car rental company and they were great: new car at a great rate and pick up and drop off is catered to your needs so if renting g a car when staying at Stelios' house make sure to ask about the car rental company.
The steps to the center of Filoti are very picturesque. I loved seeing the neighbors and greeting them on my way to and from the cafes in town. I admit, it is a bit of a workout going up to the house (and you may get lost the first couple of times) but once you figure it out you, feel almost like a local and that's a great feeling.
I cannot say enough about this house, but one thing is for certain, I cannot wait to come back and stay for a longer period of time.
