Xenia Apartment

Die grosse Gastfreundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft der drei Frauen Xenia, Aggeliki und ihrer Mutter Evaggelia! Zweimal die Woche hat Aggeliki die Wohnung perfekt gereinigt, neue Wäsche gebracht, uns mit feinem Essen überrascht ist auf alle unsere Fragen eingegangen. Die Ausstattung der Küche lies nichts zu wünschen übrig, der zentrale Raum ist grosszügig und offen gestaltet mit offenem Blick zum Meer. Sehr angenehm ist die Möglichkeit, je nach Windrichtung und Sonnenstand verschiedene Balkone auf drei Seiten des Hauses zu nutzen Auch hilreich, wenn einmal laute Gäste im angrenzenden Haus auftauchen, wie es kurz gegen Ende unseres Urlaubs geschah. Wir waren im Oktober mit teiweise kühleren Winden, Wassertemperaturen und Regen da und so war es wunderbar, immer heisses Wasser zum Duschen zur Verfùgung zu haben. Wir fühlten uns von Anfang (fürs erste Frühstück war bereits der Kühlschrank bestückt!) bis zum Ende des Urlaubs willkommen, verbrachten sehr erholsame Tage und hoffen, wieder kommen zu kõnnen!

Je nach Windrichtung hört man vor allem im Schlafzimmer die Strasse oberhalb des Hauses mehr oder weniger.

Konum olarak deniz kenarında olması güzel. Manzarası mükemmel, ebeveyn yatağı rahattı, ancak çocuklara mevcut kanepeyi ikiye bölerek iki yatak yaptılar yine de fena değildi. Evin kullanımı genelde iyi, ortam çok sessiz, Banyo ve dolaplar, mutfak ve dolaplar kullanışlı. Tüm elektrikli cihazlar mevcut

İlanda Kollarımı merkezi diye yazıyordu ancak kokkari'den 3-4 km uzakta idi. Bu yanıltma beni üzdü, Binaya gıden araç yolu biraz zordu, mutfak malzemeleri orta kalite, ancak yeterli. Buradaki sıkıntı da kaşık çatal takımı çok kötü.. Bıçak olarak ta sadece meyve bıçakları vardı. Özellikle et ürünlerini kesecek bir iki bıçakta olabilirdi. En son: İlanda hergün temizlikçi gelerek evi temizler, diye yazdığı halde 5 gün boyunca görmedik maalesef.

I book and design travel for a living, so I read reviews carefully before I stay anywhere. The one thing that gave me pause about this house was the road. Several guests had mentioned it, and honestly that worried me—you don't mention a driveway unless something happened on it. I asked Xenia directly, and she simply said that if you are a comfortable driver, there is nothing to worry about. Let me settle this for anyone reading with the same hesitation. The road is not a problem. Not slightly, not for a nervous driver, not for a first-timer on the island. Keep to the rules, keep the car balanced the way you would anywhere, and the car does the rest. I drove it repeatedly with my family and never had a single uncomfortable moment. Please disregard the comments on this subject entirely. Now to the house itself. It is spacious, spotless and genuinely easy to live in. The amenities are exactly what you need, nothing missing and nothing there for show. Xenia's mother came to hand over the keys herself, walked me through everything clearly, and had left ouzo, butter and bread in the refrigerator. That small gesture changed the whole feeling of arrival — it stopped being a rental and became somewhere I was expected. Like being looked after by your own mother. Midway through our stay, Xenia's sister came by and cleaned the house. I hadn't asked and hadn't expected it, and that is precisely why it mattered. The house sits directly on the beach, with balconies on every side and a view that made us slow down. After thirty years of judging properties for a living, I have not one negative remark to make. We will be back — that much is certain.

The beach is beautiful with devine blue (cold) water - just big pebbles, deep, open sea make it not useful for small kids.
