Amazing place and hosts!

This is probably one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in. The view is just perfect and the villa itself is very clean and decorated in a very tasteful way. The hosts were amazing, very friendly and provided us daily with breakfast bread, pastries and water. The villa is about 15 minute walk from the Chora center which has its downsides but it also makes it a very calm retreat that we loved in the mornings after going out in the night. I highly recommend this place!

Perfect in every way!

Property was superb and very large. Property manager and staff were exceptional. The daily baked goods were over the top. Home was furnished with everything you would need including a fully functioning kitchen. Washer was a plus! Absolutely incredible views and location. Easy to get around. Short walk into town. Taxis were easy to call. We did a family (8) trip and would return. Everything was splendid! Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful villa and gracious hosts

We rented the five bedroom villa for a group of nine friends and loved it. Our hosts were very welcoming as they arranged for transportation from the port and had a lovely snack ready for us when we arrived at the villa. The villa was well maintained with exceptional bedding, linens and kitchen setup. We were very comfortble and felt pampered as everything is provided including luxurious toiletries. We had a large private pool and terrace to enjoy the beautiful gardens that surround the villa. Ios is a wonderful place to visit and the views from the villa were unparalleled. Even though the area was experiencing high winds, we enjoyed hiking the area and exploring the town. I would highly recommend a stay at this villa.
