Country house, with two floors, ideal for those seeking a vacation destination in a rural atmosphere.

The access to the upper floor is made through a spiral staircase. On this level there is an office area, a bathroom with shower, and a bedroom with two single beds, which gives access to a nice balcony. The architecture of the house and the stone walls are typical of the area where it is located, which makes the rural experience even more authentic. The quiet atmosphere where this property is inserted, allows you to hear and enjoy the chirping of the birds, in a private grass garden. The outdoor dining area also connects to the cultivated area where you can find fruit trees accessible to guests, vines, lemon, anone, and tangerine trees, as well as yams, spinach, and other varieties of plants and flowers.

It’s a nice cottage with a nice outdoor space with fruit trees. Perfect for having breakfast in the sun. It’s away from tourist hubs and perfect opportunity to hide away from the crowds. Perfect location to travel around the Island and stay in the place which feels genuine. We wanted to do a barbeque but the barbeque area wasn’t very appealing. We went there at the end of November so not sure maybe in the busy season it is taken care of but now this part of the garden is neglected. If you’re going in the colder season maybe it’s worth asking for a second heater for the other bedroom as it can be chilly at night. All in all we had a good stay.

Unfortunately, our stay was very disappointing. Shortly after check-in, we discovered sewage water flooding from the bathroom into the bedroom. The host later confirmed this was a known issue, but it had not been fixed or disclosed before our arrival. The situation was unsanitary, unsafe, and extremely unpleasant, with a strong smell and visible contamination. We were only given towels to manage the flooding ourselves, which is not acceptable. We decided to check out the next day because the conditions were unhygienic and uninhabitable. Additionally, the driveway is very narrow and not suitable for medium-sized cars, which made parking difficult. We hope the host addresses these issues properly before hosting future guests.
