About this property

Little Yellow House With Beautiful Sea View

This is an old shepherd's house, so overall it's fairly basic, although it does benefit from a recently refurbished bathroom and hot water system as well as a massive queen size bed with luxury Cocomat mattress.

It has a beautiful balcony with sweeping sea views which benefits from a breeze. Below is a side-of-the-street, chill-out porch where you can watch life passing by in the shade.

This is really somewhere to get away and forget the world on a Greek island with the sunshine, the flowers, the clear waters and the utterly unrushed village around you. You have a 15 min or so walk down the mule path to the secluded beach, you're up on a big hill so this is a lovely walk if you're fit, curving round a gorgeous valley with pine and olive trees, lizards dart over the stones. It's also just a couple of minutes walk to the central village square with its abundance of bars and restaurants, and from where you can pick up a bus or taxi to connect to the rest of the island.

Das kleine Haus ist wirklich klein. Für grosse Menschen oder Manschen mit unsicherem Schritt ist die Treppe ins Schlafzimmer eine Herausforderung. Die Lage des Hauses gleicht aber Vieles aus. Das Haus ist einfach Super für Strandferien auf Alonnisos.

Kleines einfaches Häuschen

Wir haben zu zweit eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem kleinen, etwas dunklen Häuschen verbracht. Bei großer Wärme nicht von Nachteil. Die steile Treppe vom oberen Schlafraum zum Bad ist nachts nicht so leicht zu gehen. Die Einrichtung ist einfach, aber für Selbstkocher ist alles vorhanden. Die Nähe zu Tavernen und kleinem Supermarkt, einem direkten steilen Pfad zur nächsten Badebucht (FKK möglich) und die wunderschöne Aussicht hat den Urlaub unvergessliche gemacht.

Small house, big praise - lovely stay

We spent over two weeks in this lovely property with fantastic views of the coast of Alonissos, either from the balcony or the verandah, which gets the sun in the morning and the shade in the afternoon (we arrived later in the year - September). The property was very well located (as long you like steps and hills - we did) for a number of beaches, the old town (with its quaint shops and very nice restaurants) and Patitiri (there is a regular bus service in the mornings and evenings). The house itself was great, it had everything we needed and expected, with enough crockery / facilities to cook basic meals. The bed was most comfortable, which meant we had no problem getting to sleep. A wonderful stay and in a wonderful location. We love to stay again. Thank you.

A charming little house perfectly suited for two people wanting a quiet location

The location of the house is the very best, tranquil, as it is equally removed from the sometimes boisterous square with many nice cafés (which we enjoyed visiting at other times) and the other end of the small village, where restaurants and cafés (besides meals, drinks etc.) also offer various kinds of music and entertainment. Sitting in the evening and at night on the very nice balcony of the house, overlooking the sea and some islands, watching the stars come out and the moon rising, sipping the wine you have chosen from the local supermarket, well, you can hardly ask for more. You can easily prepare a nice uncomplicated meal in the small kitchen and enjoy the evening at home, if you do not want to go out every night. There are many restaurants and also a good number that will provide you with a remarkably nice dinner (and very nice wines to choose from). The kitchen offers what is neccesary for cooking a meal; a few more smaller coffee cups would be nice, as well as glasses, but you can also do what we did, buy yourself some very nice stoneware cups in one of the shops in town and enjoy supporting the local trade and Cretan handcraft. A lovely souvenir to take home. (The same goes for a chopping board, actually; but then again, you can have a very nice board of olive wood in one of the shops). On the groung floor of the house you can enjoy the semi-shade in the patio (below the balcony) in the morning. The sun is filtered through leaves of fig and almond trees and you can still enjoy the great views of the sea and the islands to the east. From about one pm there will be a comfortable shade on the balcony. You enter the balcony, which offers even nicer views, from the bedroom on the first floor and at night you have a look of the stars and the moon through the door and in the morning the sun will wake you up, when it rises above the higher islands to the northeast. Furthermore, you must go to one of the beaches; we chose Micros Mourtias, a small beach in an cove with a lovely sandy seabed. The old mule track leading down there from the town is a wonderful experience in itself. Alltogether, we had a lovely sixteen days vacation in this little yellow house, perfectly suited for two people wanting to go to a most beautiful island in the Aegean Sea.

Magnifique séjour! !

La maison de Charles et Mel est merveilleuse ! Oui elle est petite mais tellement mignonne et bien décorée ! La vue est fantastique. La cuisine est très bien équipée. Un peu isolée, on y trouve le calme. Séjour exceptionnel sur cette belle île ! Merci à eux😊

Great holidays !!!

We spent three weeks in the little yellow house for the second time (see my advice in french for last year) and we again appreciate it a lot ! The house has very simple comfort but all the necessery is there to wash, sleep and eat and is very well situated in the old village : not too far from the animated center but in a quiet street. The island is beautiful with paths for those who like walking, splendid beaches whith water at 25 or 26 °C in summer and the lovely old village with taverns and chilling bars... Great holidays !!!

Magnifique séjour !!!

La petite maison jaune est en tout point identique à la présentation qui en est faite. Le confort est simple, certes, mais suffisant pour qui apprécie le charme de l'ancien. L'île d'Alonissos nous a laissé un magnifique souvenir, avec des paysages fantastiques et une atmosphère calme et reposante. Le vieux village est typique, et malgré tout vivant le soir avec ses tavernes et ses terrasses où prolonger la soirée pour boire un verre dans une ambiance très cool... La location se trouve un peu à l'écart du centre animé. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ces vacances, et recommandons vivement !!!

Ein sehr romantisches Häuschen. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Toller Ausblick von der Terrasse! Da schmeckt der Morgenkaffee gleich noch mal so gut! Gemütliche und funktionale Küche. Am Ende der Saison in "the old village" und auf der gesamten Insel wenig los. Und trotzdem nicht langweilig. Schöne Badetage an wundervollen Buchten. Gute Abendunterhaltung bei sehr guten Drinks in der Bar Aerides bei Ionnis und Maria. Romantische Spaziergänge - auch über den alten Eselspfad nach Patiri: lecker Fischessen! Tolle Unterkunft, nette Menschen, wunderschöne Insel. Danke auch an Mel und Charles!

Old cottage full of character with stunning views

I stayed in this charming tiny old house for 3 weeks from late June to mid July. As was stated to me in the particulars it is an old shepherd's house with all the quirks one would expect in an old property which is part of its charm. The house is chock full of character and very welcoming with fascinating artefacts decorating the upstairs traditional fireplace. This room has an open beamed ceiling and wood floors. The equipment in the cool downstairs kitchen is basic with just a 2 ring gas hob to cook on as in many old houses in Alonnisos but there is a fridge (stocked thoughtfully with juice, milk and fruit for my arrival), a new sink and new pans. Upstairs the huge bed with top of the range new mattress is super comfy. The new shower room downstairs is a cut above the norm for Greece and is up to modern bistro standards. The advice to turn off the water heater before showering is standard in properties in the old town, I have come across this before in new build apartments. The views from the upper terrace outside the bedroom are stunning and the downstairs patio is great for a shady lunch in the heat of the day. When I arrived there was rain and wind so the fan heater provided was very welcome. By the time I left it was too hot to sit out until 5pm when the terrace was in shade so the shady patio downstairs was even more welcome. I needed to use the fan provided to cool the bedroom ready for sleep. There was an abundance of clean linen and towels and bedding was changed as often as requested. There was a selection of very interesting books. Neighbours are very friendly. I absolutely loved staying here. I only have one suggestion for improvement. Some of the old electric sockets do need replacing hence four rather than five stars.

Dear Carolyn Thank you for your generous and constructive review. Following your feedback we have upgraded the electric sockets.

Brutta esperienza

Abbiamo passato cinque giorni nella casa, nel mese di agosto. L'immobile e' molto vecchio è scomodo, solo il bagno al piano terra e' stato recentemente ristrutturato. Il resto della casa sarebbe decisamente da sistemare; il livello di pulizia generale era molto scarso, anche con la presenza di numerosi insetti all'interno. L'impianto elettrico e'veramente obsoleto e poco sicuro (si raccomandano addirittura di staccare il boiler durante la doccia...) L'immobile, contrariamente a quanto dice la descrizione, e'caldissimo, dato che dalle 7 di mattina ci batte il sole, e per giunta come riportato sul sito, non c'è' l'aria condizionata. Durante il soggiorno, In seguito alle nostre rimostranze, ci è' stato fornito un ventilatore, che ha risolto solo parzialmente il problema. Una bruttissima esperienza in un'isola bellissima.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 Apr, 2020
Dear Guest We are very sorry to read your negative comments about the little house that we love. I would like to address a few specific points you made: 1. Our listing does NOT state that the property is air conditioned. We do refer to the house being 'cool in the summer' - since it is an old shepherds cottage with thick walls and small windows, and it is set high on a hill surrounded by ocean, it is built to be as cool as possible but Greece in August is very hot. We spent the whole of August 2014 in the house with our new baby and we slept comfortably at night with the windows open and the fan on (and we are Brits, so don't have a high heat tolerance!). 2. It is not true to say that we recommend disconnecting the water heater to the shower 'for safety reasons' - a new hot water system was installed in 2014 and we suggest turning the heater off when not in use simply to conserve energy. 3. We are sorry that you felt the standards of cleanliness were not good enough. This is very important feed-back for us, and we will discuss the matter with our local host and cleaner. Our listing makes it clear that the property is old and the facilities are basic, and this is reflected in the price, which is one of the cheapest in the Old Village - 'you get what you pay for' as the saying goes, and in this case you get a charming, rustic, quirky and cosy little home for a very reasonable rate.
