House keeper will tell you not to do this, not to do that. For example, do not splash water from swimming pool… I guess she doesn’t want to clean it. would complain you delay her routine….( we waited for a while to get the taxi they arrange for us). she will makes you feel you have done so many bad things to her…..miserable house keeper.

It was the first time that a rental property was even more beautiful than the advertisement photos. This typical cave house has been painstakingly renovated with great attention to detail. You will find all the comforts of home combined with all the amenities you'd expect in a five-star hotel. The kitchen is well equipped including a Nespresso machine. The owner Giannis is welcoming and attentive making sure that guests are comfortable and satisfied. The house is impeccably clean and the plunge -pool type spa on the terrasse will help keep you cool while enjoying the extrairdinary view over the caldera. Despite the touristy bustle of Ia you are far from the madding crowd in this tranquil nest perched high above the sea. I highly recommend this property. ##### Evelyn K. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2016 ---
