Highly recommended ##### Patrizia L. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maria Francesca S. 16 Jul 2025 #### Pura poesia! This place is pure poetry! It's exactly the accommodation I look for when I vacation in Greece, because it's places like this that allow me to truly feel and experience the essence of this extraordinary country I love so much. The location and the view from the room and the terrace are magical. If Paxos, the 22nd Greek island I've visited, immediately rose to the top of my personal list, it's undoubtedly largely thanks to the apartment I stayed in. I sincerely hope to return one day. ##### Maria Francesca S.

The room it self was very clean and with the front and side windows it was also very cool. the room itself has old equipment but it doesnt matter since you can do your job. noise might be a thing but nothing to be worried about. ##### Panagiota V.

The accommodation was not so easy to find (Google Maps coordinates are not correct, but the Apple Maps data are correct). The equipment is simple, but nothing is missing. In addition, the accommodation is very clean and comfortable. And the view from the room is priceless! Only complaint is the shower. Despite normal use, the bathroom was flooded every time. There is also no WiFi, but that wasn't a problem for us.Eos replay:Hello from Eos Villas.Many thanks for your holiday feedback.I am delighted that your stay with us was enjoyable.The maintenance issues that you have kindly highlighted have been forwarded to the owner and we will check that these are rectified.
