Five of us spent a fantastic week in this beautiful house. It's situated right on a beach opposite a picturesque little harbour that has the most amazing sunrise views.

The house has virtually everything you could need in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms, even down to beach towels, bath towels and all bedding. It was clean and comfortable, and the air con in the bedrooms was extremely welcome.

We didn't eat in that much as there are a restaurant and taverna within five minute's walk (as is the bus stop to all local towns every hour). Captain Loizos restaurant was our regular haunt, with fantastic fresh food and lovely welcoming service. There is also a small minimarket for regular supplies near the bus stop along with a takeaway sandwich bar for beach supplies.

We spent many hours relaxing on the beautiful terrace of the house, it is so comfortable, and just the place to watch the world go by.

Gabriel, the owner, did everything he could to make our stay one that we'd remember, including sorting us a pick-up from the airport on arrival and leaving various fruit and drinks in the fridge for us. We had regular texts from him to check everything was all ok (which it was of course).

Monolithos beach is a five minute stroll away, with soft black sand and crystal clear sea where you can hire 2 sunbeds and shade for €5 a day.

We met some lovely people while we were there and can't recommend it highly enough. The only thing wrong was that we only had one week there and needed longer :-) We hope to return one day!
