Living in this beautiful home was magical. Every corner of the house is enchanting. From the terrace at the top that overlooks the entire island and on which I was able to do a wonderful yoga practice under the blue dome at six in the morning watching the sunrise, to the small pool with jacuzzi on the lower terrace, elegant and cosy, to the pool hidden in a cave on the lower floor. The bathroom of the apartment at the first floor is particularly beautiful. Made with tadelakt including the bathtub. It is a house that smells flowers.

The peaceful atmosphere and tranquil location, close to the historic city center of Pyrgos, made our stay exceptional. A special highlight for us was the pool on the terrace with a beautiful view over the island. Highly recommended!
