Yalos House

Πεντακάθαρα

Μικρό διαμέρισμα

Καθαριότητα και υποδοχή. Άνετο και παραδοσιακό σπίτι πολύ κοντά στο λιμάνι.

Ολα ήταν όμορφα.

Yalos House is not actually an entire house but a small room located on the lower level of a restored traditional stone house. Only steps from Pera Gialos beach. The large outdoor terrace and backyard are beautiful, perfectly furnished and confortable for relaxing after the hot sun sets. Yianni and Popi are lovely and accommodating hosts, they allowed us use of the hot tub for the days the upstairs level was not rented. There was a communication hiccup at one point. They saw my friend at the airport and assumed we had left a day earlier and allowed other people to enter and wait inside my room while the upper level was being cleaned. After a momentary panic, all was settled and put back in its place by Yianni.

Please note that the pictures, which include rooms from the top floor of the house (available for rent separately) are misleading. The room is very narrow and long, the windows are basement windows. It was probably originally the cellar where the animals were housed. It is tastefully decorated and oozes of charm but still feels like a cramped cave. The description reads 17m2 but it seems much smaller. And frankly, not worth the price. In my opinion, it should not be rented separately from the upper level, it is best suited as an extra bedroom with bath for those who rent the upper level of the house. There’s just too much furniture and the fridge takes up too much space in that tiny room.

A lot of love and effort has gone into this beautiful ‘Captain’s House ‘ . Poppy and Yanni clearly have thought of every part of the refurbishment and this shows in the extremely comfortable beds, pillows and exterior furniture. It is in a great location : less than a minutes walk from the beach and only 5 mins from the port yet it is also very quiet and secluded.

The only improvement I would suggest is to have a wall bracket on the wall for the shower head. As i have very long, thick hair it was a bit tricky to wash my hair with one hand while holding the shower head! A minor thing in what was otherwise a fantastic stay.
