Clean, modern, excellent facilities. Close to beach. Good taverna within 10 mins walk. nearest supermarket 20 mins walk away. If you want a relaxing time, it is a great villa.

Six of us ended our sailing charter with four relaxing days at the Theodoros house within the Hestia compound of four homes (one of which is used by the resident managers: Serge and his wife). The entrance to the compound is marked by flags of Greece and several other nations. Theodoros is the detached home at the left end of compound, making it feel slightly removed from the others. It was perfect for our needs--the pool and views are extraordinary. The other two rental homes appear to be attached in the center, which would be great for a large family needing both units. The house layout for Theodoros is a shared bathroom with washing machine for the two bedrooms upstairs (the bedroom on the right has a balcony overlooking the pool with amazing views of the sea). The two bedrooms downstairs each have their own bathroom. The compound is a bit out of the way, which is what we wanted. We did not have a car and relied on taxis. On the way in from the ferry, part of our group stopped for groceries as there are no grocery stores within easy walking distance. Ampeli wine yard restaurant is about one-third of a mile easy walk down the road, and we recommend it. We ate there twice and bought wine to bring home. A ~250 meter (short) walk through the fields behind the house, past the cows, takes you to the beach. Very nice with some shade trees. However, no services--which is also fine for us. Walking down the beach (or the dirt road that parallels the beach) to the right about .75 mile takes you to Karnagio Taverna, which some of us visited for drinks and snacks. From the Hestia homes, you can hear the waves while sitting by the pools; each home has its private pool. We really enjoyed floating in the pool and cooling off (we brought our own water floats--the house did not appear to have any, but we didn't ask). Serge was incredibly helpful when my wife became ill and needed treatment. He was quick to offer all assistance, and drove us to the hospital in Kos town about 20 minutes away. FYI, the team at the hospital rendered expert care at a tiny fraction of the cost we might expect in the US. There were also issues with the air conditioning in the house caused by electrical power surges on the island. While the issue was not resolved until the end of our stay, Serge was trying to get it resolved the entire time. Everyone in our group talked about returning to Hestia in the future for a longer stay, which is the best recommendation: wanting to come back.
