We spent 10 days in Gias place in winter. He already warned us after we booked that in winter everything is closed and very calm. So it was, but actually that was exactely what we were looking for. A car is necessary! Then you can explore the beautiful coasts of this area.
The place was nice and everything we needed was there. Gia even organized 2 electric heaters and extra blankets since there is no heating in the house, it is more like a summer flat. So it was chilly, but we were ok with that. The two electric heater did a good job and we were also not expecting warm temperature inside the house. The communication with Gia was perfect. he answered quickliy and gave us good info about where to find a supermarket and a pub (not that easy to find in winter!)
So thank you Gia and your father (a perfect gentleman who took care of our check-out) for those quiet days in the off-season.
