Séjour super
Tous d'abord eva et jannis les propriétaires de la location sont des gens très sympathiques et très avenants, nous avons été reçu très cordialement. Pour la location, il n'y a rien à redire Eva avait tout prévu dans les moindres détails, la literie était impeccable et le linge de maison à disposition. Pour ce qui est de l'emplacement entre sisi et milatos avec un accès facile aussi bien à pied qu'en voiture. Nous avons profité pleinement de notre séjour et nous le recommandons vivement.

Ganz wunderbar, schön und liebenswürdig!!!
Sehr liebenswerte und hilfreiche Gastgeber, die uns mit einem Geschenkkorb voller guter und leckerer Dinge in diesem hübschen und gepflegten Haus begrüßt haben. Großzügig ausgestattete Küche, toller Außengrill Sogar vom Bett aus kann man in das schöne Tal schauen und sieht sogar ein wenig vom Meer. Schöne Terrassen für Frühstück und Abendessen in der Sonne, immer wieder tagsüber nett begleitet vom leichten Glockengeläut der weidenden Ziegen am Hang gegenüber. Günstige Ausgangslage für Ausflüge im Osten der Insel. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
