What an incredible stay we had at this gorgeous home in Gavrio! It's hard to know where to start or how to finish singing the praises of the place and people who look after it, but I'll try:
The garden is heavenly, with beautiful flowering plants everywhere. The views from every angle were breathtaking. We ate dinner in the gorgeous outdoor dining room every night, and took advantage of the other sitting areas scattered around the property. Joseph the gardener took us on a tour of the vegetables and herbs that were available for our use, and we took advantage of that generosity. My stepson was obsessed with the olive oil from the on-site olive grove.
I loved taking a shower from the outdoor shower every day while looking at the Aegean sea the whole time. The kitchen had every tool, plate, platter and utensil that we needed to cook for a large group of eight people. We had one group for the first five days and a smaller group for the second six days, and the owners and Eleni the housekeeper were so politely able to accommodate a quick turnaround with cleaning and fresh linens.
The house is located about 20 minutes from the port town of Gavrio, where the ferries come in. While we did see other houses that were nice and were closer to the beaches, none of them had the charm, privacy or character of this beautiful home. We visited all the significant towns on the island, and were so happy that we had Gavrio as our home base. Thank you, Laura, Napier, Joseph and Eleni!
