A perfect vacation
Submitted: April 29, 2012
Stayed: July 2011
My spouse and I had the privilege of staying in this beautiful home for three months this past summer. We frequently travel to destinations all over the world, and can honestly say that Spetses is among the most quiet, serene, and beautiful places that we have ever had the pleasure of visiting. Since our visit, we often reminisce of the experiences we had on this beautiful island: swimming in the sparkling clear water, breezy evening walks under the moonlight, the wonderful seafood, and the friendly locals. We will certainly be returning to Spetses, and when we do, this rental house is certainly our first choice for accommodation.
It is difficult to describe how delighted we were when we first arrived at this residence. It had been a very long journey, and we had very little sleep the night before. Upon unlocking the door and clicking on the lights, we immediately knew that we had made the right choice. We were overwhelmed with a sense of welcome and comfort. There is a warmth to this residence that immediately puts one at ease. It is not a typical vacation rental home. (We have stayed in so many.) Rather, it is obvious upon entering and walking through each room, that this is a place that is truly dear to someone. And, it is a privilege to have had the opportunity to share in this experience.
Unfortunately, the character limitation for this textbox does not provide adequate space to describe all of the positive attributes for this accommodation. (But, I will try:)
The house has everything that you could possibly need during a stay, and so much more. The kitchen is fully functional. There are two bathrooms and two bedrooms, both very nice. Open the doors to the balconies, and a very pleasant breeze that smells of pine, orange, and jasmine runs throughout the house, both upstairs and downstairs. A magnificent sunrise can be viewed from either balcony each morning. (Not a day passed that I did not spend with a hot cup of coffee, watching the storm of colors rise on the horizon.) A five minute walk, and you are on a quiet pebble beach, with crystal clear water lapping at your feet. Remain until evening, and view a sunset that you will never forget.
The house is comfortable and clean, the architecture is reminiscent of an older time yet solid to today's standards. The furnishings are very unique and personable.
A small market selling fresh vegetables and hot bread is only a few paces away.
*out of room - in short, 5 stars!*
Owner's Response: Dear Michael, i am so happy that you enjoyed your stay; I hope you will come back soon. The house has been very lovingly cared for throughout the years and i hope all future guests will enjoy it as much as you did.
