“Astypalaia is a hidden gem of an island. Quiet and sleepy (and a little windy!) but magical. This is the place to stay i”

Fantastic accommodation in Astypalaia Chora. Situated at roughly the midpoint of the Hill which has the port area at the bottom and the castle at the top. On this level are the Windmills and it’s around these that most things (restaurants, shops, cocktail bars, parking, bus, etc) are situated. If you want the to stay in the more traditional winding and narrow streets this is not quite that and you’ll have to stay further up the hill closer to the Castle but that means facing that very steep hill regularly for no major benefit. All things considered i think this accommodation is in the best location in Chora. Positioned less than a 2 minute walk from the Windmills. The accommodation is exactly as pictured. Tastefully modernised. All amenities that are required are provided (fridge/freezer, oven, hob, coffee maker, washing machine, lots of electrical sockets, internet and good air con). The shower is fantastic. There a lovely seating area with a tv. The bed in the main bedroom is comfortable if slightly awkward in that one side is against the wall so you can’t get in/out on both sides. There was only two of us so the mezzanine bed was not used. There is a terrace at the front with a table and chairs and a small sun trap terrace to the rear with more seating and a clothes line to dry clothes. Just one warning in that there are a number of steps and stairs in the property so I would not recommend it (or the Chora in general really) for anyone with mobility issues. Not an issue for us but could be for some. Finally a word on the host. Anna was amazing. So friendly. She was waiting to greet us even though our arrival was quite delayed. She gave us loads of information about the Chora and the Island, left us a fruit basket, water in the fridge and a welcome drink. Even more than that we bumped into her later in our visit in the local ice cream shop and she got us both an ice cream. Fantastic.

“I would definitely recommend and book again in the future.”
