We had the most wonderful, perfect week staying here! First of all - our hosts! Phillipe and his lovely sister (I'm so sorry, I can't exactly remember your name - Angela?) were incredible - we miss you! Thank you for making our first proper holiday in twelve years so memorable and welcoming! We are already making plans to return! We stayed in one of the bigger suites, right on the front terrace and breakfast served just literally outside our window. We ended up arriving quite late (about 11.30pm) as our flight was delayed, so when we arrived we didn't really know what to expect. Phillipe came up on his moped to meet us from the airport transfer bus and kindly wheeled my massive suitcase 'home' for me. When we got there, we found a welcome bottle of wine and a bottle of water in the fridge. I was a bit worried that being right next to the terrace might end up being a bit noisy, but the entire week I didn't hear a pin drop, it was so quiet even with the bustling little village of Lindos right below us. The bed was SO comfortable, and there was air conditioning in both bedrooms and also downstairs (essential! 40C in June!). We appreciated the kitchen sink and the fridge, really useful for keeping our water and local wines cool! The bathroom was surprisingly large, loads of counter space, so we could easily rinse our swimsuits and even towels after snorkelling all day. There was even a little drying rack just outside our room, so convenient, and of course everything was dry in an hour or two! The view from our bedroom - No.2 - was breathtaking. The acropolis in the middle with views out down little valleys to the azure Aegean on both side, with and the white, roof-terraced village of Lindos spread out below like a jigsaw puzzle. I particularly enjoyed watching the local residents (up the hill, to our left) chasing the goats out of their garden at sunrise on our first morning! The sun rises right over the acropolis, by the way. The shady, breezy terrace (where breakfast was had) was wonderful. We also often sat out at night after we'd returned from dinner, with a digestif, just relaxing in the hanging woven egg chairs, soaking it all in. Breakfast was AMAZING. My daily morning feast consisted of ... tomato, cucumber, feta, fresh warm feta or spinach pastries, fresh warm mini-croissants, olives, warm bread rolls, greek yoghurt, honey, homemade carrot jam, cake, fruit, boiled eggs, juice coffee and more besides. It was heavenly, and I hate being home and having to fend for myself now! And Angela's smiling face, and Phillipe's brilliant banter, just made the first hour each day so much happier than it was already. The whole vibe is gorgeous, welcoming, relaxing, so well designed, especially the stunning plants and courtyards. It didn't seem real! Thank you ever so much for everything, x
