This might well be in my top 3 places to stay. - Location close to the road so super easy to drive anywhere. Dedicated parking inside the gates, long driveway so no noise in the house. - 5 min to Karpathos town, a supermarket nearby. - Outdoor space with a pool and a view is large and comfortable to be in. No close neighbors so the place really feels your own - great for escaping a big city…or just stargazing. - The interior looks very traditional, with quite peculiar space separation (arches and raised podiums instead of beds) and lovely decor (some Greek string instrument, Singer sewing machine, photos etc). - Large kitchen with all the essentials. - Two bathrooms, yay! - Three ACs (albeit the one in the living room was acting up).

These are minor points: - There are no doors between kitchen, bedroom and the living room - it’s a part of that traditional layout, but also means that sleeping when someone’s up can be difficult. - A number of stray cats love the place. They are cute but also needy and can be annoying at times. Whatever their meowing conveys, they AREN’T starving or in need of food. - Ants are around and will find unpacked food in no time, stow everything away. - A dishwasher could have been handy.

There's a nice view to the sea and mountain. The pool is a good size in direct sunlight all day, and the area is very private. There's plenty of space to park your car if you rent one. There are two bathrooms with showers. Many cute cats visit the house frequently. The host is super nice and very responsive. You get a feel for local life in the area as it's a bit detached from the main tourist hotels. Great air conditioning (separate in each room).

It's a bit of a walk to restaurants and the return trip is all uphill. A personal preference, but for me the beds weren't great and pillows were too high. The stream in the main shower could be more even. There's no good place to put the sunbed if you want to stay in the shade, and no cover at all from rain if you wanted to stay outside when it rains (although it doesn't rain often anyway).

The pool & location

Not for 2 couple (perfect for family)

At the last day, we have no water.

If you are looking for a great place near the main village on Karpathos this is your place to be. The private pool is fantastic, and the view is second to none. It is an old village house converted into a cottage. The old walls provide protection from the heat while keeping you warm at night. Didn’t use the AC once. It takes you only a 5 minutes drive to Karpathos town. Service from the staff was simply perfect. Super friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and come back.

Kitchen could have been equipped better. The toaster is too old to be used for example.

Great house, very comfortable , well equipped, two bathrooms was really appreciated, beautiful outdoor area with pool

Some noise from the street

Everything was perfect. The hosts were prompt and accommodating. The pool was wonderful, and the views were second to none. Easy access to Pigadia, less than 5 min by car. Grocery store and gas station about 1 mile down the road. Clean and exactly as advertised. Can’t beat this property.
