There were no reviews for the villa when I first contacted the point person, Ronen. However, the location seemed ideal and the photos were jaw dropping. The villa is owned by an extended Greek family. It is every bit as gorgeous as it looks in the photos — and the views are spectacular.
Ronen was always very responsive and helpful. Our hostess during our stay, Iro, is Ronen’s mother-in-law and family matriarch. She lives across the steps. Her help and suggestions were invaluable. She was so generous in providing wonderful recommendations, making reservations, and stocking the kitchen with all kinds of yummy food. She even rushed to the airport to bring me a forgotten bag shortly before our flight out.
Milos was perfect for our vacation (2 adults and a teen). We visited in late June and, while definitely many tourists around, it wasn’t crowded. The weather was perfect: 80s, breezy, no humidity. Plaka is so charming and restaurants, cafes, shops are all just steps away.
We had insanely good seafood at Medusa in Mandrakia (so good we started giggling and returned a second night). We also swam at the Sarakiniko moonscape, visited the ancient catacombs and did a really fun 1/2-day boating trip with Salty Rides. Just go, and, if you do, book this gorgeous house and enjoy Ronen and Iro’s wonderful hospitality.
