Grandpa’s cottage

Super friendly staff, the home owner welcomed us warmly with fruits, sweets and explained us everything. She was always available if I needed to ask any questions. The house is really sweet, comfortable and giving home feeling. There are 2 air conditioners as well inside and they were a life saver since this summer was really hot. The garden has a hose/shower with warm water that is very refreshing to take a quick shower after swimming. We had everything we needed lots of clean towels, bed sheets and kitchen necessities, and even first emergency meds if you get hurt. The location is good the sea is 3 minutes away walk and the neighbours are very friendly. And it's also silent and chill :) The center was like 20-25 min walk. We definitely will try to come back next summer!

Everything was nice! The only thing that may uncomfortable for a person is if youre a tall person, the shower ceiling is short and if you're 180+cm you may hit your head on the ceiling, the bath itself is narrow, but that wasn't a problem for us since the outside shower/hose was just perfect for the summer.

It is a very comfortable house, with a small yard with orange trees, in a quiet neighborhood. It has air conditioning which is really necesary. Our hosts were so nice and ready to assist with whatever need we had. The place is a 5 minute walk from the beach. We traveled with our 3 children including a 5 year old and had a wonderful time here. Equipped with everithing you need in a home away from home. Would surely recommend! Thank you, Elina!

Our host has been extremely responsive and helpful already before our trip and went above and beyond when it came to supporting us with different requests (we arrived on the night before the general elections’ Sunday, when all shops were closed and she even did some basic grocery shopping for us, so we were all good till Monday morning!). Elina has been one the best hosts we have had in many years of travels and it’s been a pleasure to be her guests. The cottage is well equipped, close to the sea (probably 5-6 minutes walk to Paralia Mprexiza and Magko Beach Bar, maybe even less) and in a quiet neighbourhood. Wi-Fi worked flawlessly, which was important for me as I was working from the house and needed a stable connection. Big advantage are the mosquito nets, which are installed on all windows and the main door, so one can safely air the house even in the evenings without having to worry about a disturbed night and bites. There are plenty of toys inside and also outside the house, so young children will also easily amuse themselves and won’t get bored fast. There’s a special filter for the tap water in the kitchen, which one can use to refill bottles or simply drink from the tap good quality water.

None of these are “dislikes”, more observations: as I am pretty tall (and heavy :)), I’ve found the bath tub a bit tight. If you come with a larger car, be prepared for having to manoeuvre a bit to get inside the court as the street is not particularly wide and spot in front of the house is more convenient for a mid-sized car (which we had and were perfectly fine with parking in and getting out, as the gate is conveniently wide for that)
