A little Greece, a little Italy, the best of both.
Pros:

The quality of this accommodation easily surpassed any other place that we stayed in Greece over the last two weeks. Elini Inotaki was an amazing host also. When we come back to this area, this is the only place we will stay.

Exceptional stay, best sleep, beautiful space, warm host, would return!
Pros:

I had an outstanding stay at Eleni’s apartment, easily the best sleep I had during my travels around Greece. It’s clear she has put a great deal of thought into every detail, from the stunning interior design to the sense of comfort and atmosphere.

Eleni herself is warm, welcoming, and truly an exceptional host. The apartment was spotless and located in the charming village of Archania, which added to the experience. I also learned that she is a psychotherapist who hosts retreats in the space for groups of up to 20 people, with accommodation for up to 16 across her hotel and apartment.
It’s a place I would absolutely return to, even for a dedicated retreat. An A++ experience.
