Ideal place for a short stay in Christos Raches !

A whole apartment well equipped, very easy to access and right in the centre of Christos Raches. I was also lucky to be able to see a live Greek music concert (Rebetika) where the atmosphere was cheerful and as always the Greek people were really nice.

The two large old style rooms were so nice, and the bed comfortable. The balcony with view to the beautiful streets filled with cafes, bars and restaurants right in the center were magnificent!

A lovely flat in the heart of Rachés — spacious rooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a wonderfully comfortable bed made it feel like a home away from home. The hosts were also a pleasure to deal with, always easy to reach and quick to respond. Having a small market right next door, along with charming restaurants and cafés just steps away, was incredibly convenient. I truly enjoyed my time there and will definitely be booking again!

I never leave bad reviews for rooms, but this was a very unpleasant experience! Don’t go!

The room had a strong, unpleasant odor of onions mixed with mold. The bed frame was broken, and there were small nails protruding dangerously right above the head area. Additionally, we noticed a red stain on the bed sheets, which was very concerning. The bathroom was extremely cramped and unsuitable for a group of three. I also forgot my phone charger and no one contacted me for the whole day to return it even though we saw a cleaning lady on our way out! Overall, a very disappointing experience — I would not stay here again.

Mixed feelings

Spacious, sunny, breezy. In a central location in the village of Xristos, but also with double glass so you can sleep at night.

Pleasant stay at a superb location, charming apartment with some quirks

The Central House's location is unbeatable whether you take few miles walk around Raches or just 15 steps to an Espresso bar/cafes/shops/mini market and eateries around the corner. Overall the host was very responsive and helpful. Every amenity provided is well thought out, however how they are provided may not be the most convenient way but they are nevertheless available to you. For instance, solar powered water heater (the apartment's main source for hot water) may not produce enough hot water in winter months therefore you need to turn on the supplemental electric water heater. To do that you need to turn on the related breaker in the circuit breaker box. In addition, you need to shut off the water line that comes from the solar water heater and switch to a line that is fed by the electric water heater (thankfully related valve for both is located in the bathroom) The apartment is on the upper floor of an attached older building which comes with certain charm and character. The staircase is somewhat challenging for people that are tall and/or have big feet. Narrow entrance and passageway only allow you to carry one suitcase at a time. The apartment overlooks at the town square and has a balcony with ample space (even better than the pictures). Rooms have high ceilings that make the apartment look bigger and roomier. The apartment gets plenty of natural light.

We are very contend with our choice and we would highly recommend this apartment.

The location is ideal, in the center of the nightlife and of the general life of Raches with a lot of brunch places just a second away. The apartment is quite big, the bed is comfy and the host was really responsive throughout our stay. He even allowed us to store our suitcases for hours after check out so that we do not carry them around til our boat trip back.
