We met Fortunato (Mariarosa's father) who showed us to the apartment. We were so impressed with the size of the place, it could easily accommodate a family, even though there were only two of us.

Fortunato spoke limited English (although my partner speaks some Italian) but he was really friendly and helpful, he showed us how to walk to Naxos for beaches and restaurants.

The apartment itself was very traditional, filled with beautiful decorations and little trinkets and gave the place a really romantic feel.

Kitchen was well stocked and we cooked a couple of times, although there are so many restaurants in Naxos it was hard to stay home and cook!

The location is quite out of the way and quiet, except for the dogs barking! Earplugs recommended
