We felt like Hollywood movie stars staying at this exquisite estate! The house is luxurious, lined in local marble, with a very well-appointed kitchen, high quality linens, and fully air conditioned en suite bedroom/ bathroom combos spread across two floors. The house still holds the art and collectibles of the previous owner, giving it so much personality.
The property itself is magnificent with a sparkling large pool, flowering trees, olive trees, and even a peacock in the yard.
But it is the hospitality of the owners that make this so special, with homey touches like local honey, fruit from their trees, a well stocked coffee bar, wine, and bread. They were happy to offer suggestions for restaurants and beaches, which helped us have a truly local experience. On their recommendation, we visited some close by charming villages that we otherwise would have missed. They were very attentive, visiting daily to water plants and check in, which we enjoyed.
Since the property is a bit away from the center of town, we rented a car which gave us freedom to explore. The location of the estate is actually very convenient to exploring ancient ruins as well as visiting a wide variety of the beaches that make Naxos famous, but there isn’t a lot within walking distance.
Anna and Andreas, we cannot thank you enough for sharing your special place with us! It was the highlight of our trip to Greece!
