The house felt like my grandmother had just walked to the market, leaving a bottle of wine, some garden veggies and a note saying make yourself at home. The only sounds we heard were the chickens and roosters and crickets. We highly recommend this for folks like informal rural living. ##### Kathie H.

Un accueil plus que chaleureux, des attentions à notre égard, des conseils bien appréciés de visites et restaurants. Un gran merci Dimos !!! We spent a quiet week. A very warm welcome, gifts for our needs, good advice for visits or restaurants, vegetables at will: the children were happy to pick them ! A place full of charm and tranquillity that we really appreciated! Thank you again! ##### Maïwenn C.

Wir konnten Gemüse aus dem Garten ernten. Das alte Winzerhaus liegt am Dorfrand. Von den Nachbarn haben wir nichts gehört. Von Astrikas aus haben wir viele Ausflüge in alle Richtungen unternommen. ##### Kirsten L. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ---
