Deuxième séjour à Alonissos, toujours aussi emballés. Nous avons choisi de revenir au même endroit, même location car les conditions sont réunies pour passer de très belles vacances reposantes et dépaysantes. Nos enfants sont ravis car ils peuvent aller se baigner quand ils le veulent (la mer est juste là). La maison "Iguana" est idéale pour les grandes familles car laisse à chacun son espace de tranquillité. Nous avons encore tous profité de cette belle île encore préservée de l'affluence touristique dont on ne se lasse pas et attendons les prochaines vacances avec impatience ...

Villa "Iguana" is a thoughtful and high quality place! Dimitri-the owner of the villa was very courteous and welcoming, and the villa itself had a very warm feeling to it. Fantastic mid level and upper level balconies with stunning view from the top level, and very local and relaxing view at the middle level. Quiet villa, with clean beach and a little fishing port nearby- all adds up to the feeling of being a local islander. We were swimming in the bay in the morning and were meeting sunrise during the swims!! Audio cassettes with French chanson and Greek music from 80's made this villa timeless place in the evenings! We walked to Patitiri town center to restaurants with great food, as well as cooked enjoyably at the villa itself. Also we walked all the island by foot (very good trails- allowing good 3-4 hours trekking). Small car is essential for longer trips to the northern tip of the island, unless you are a runner and can run for about 1.5-2 hours one way. There is a scuba diving possibility, great seafood and absolutely unique smell of pines and sea everywhere on the island. 10 people had full privacy during the good time at the island. Anyone who wants to stay away from the crowded touristic places should consider this villa.

Magnifiques plages à Alonissos, nombreuses et toutes différentes. L'île peut être parcourue à pied sur une multitude de chemins de randonnée. La villa est idéalement placée avec une vue imprenable. Elle est meublée avec goût, les pièces sont spacieuses, bien entretenues et confortables. Chaque chambre a sa terrasse. L'hôte est très accueillant et tout est prévu pour que les locataires se sentent à l'aise. J'y reviendrai avec beaucoup de plaisir.

The house is built on a hillside in 4 levels that climb up from the street. Each level is self-contained, well furnished, and attractive. Large windows open onto gorgeous views of Votsi Bay and allow the cool breezes to blow through during the night. The house was perfect for our group of 10, which was made up of 5 adults and 5 teenagers between 13 and 16 years old. Kids and adults all had their own space, but there was room for the whole group to gather and to sit down to meals. People with disabilities might have a hard time with all the stairs and even the lowest level requires some climbing. All the stairs, ledges and railings might make it a bit stressful for families with toddlers. The villa is very close to a pretty cobble beach (watch out for the sea urchins) and a nice restaurant. The villa is a 20-30 minute walk from the main city of Patitiri, but only 10 minutes from a general store and a variety of tavernas. It was easy walking to 4 or 5 other beaches as well. We rented a car and a scooter to get us to the old city and to other beaches and sights on the island. The auto rental was cheap, the roads were 'exciting'. The owner is very friendly and speaks good English, French, Greek of course, and who knows what else? Instructional notes left in the house (about conserving water, operating the dishwasher, and so on) were mostly in French. The wifi worked well in spite of the sometimes large loads we put on it. The villa had everything we needed in it, the island was delightful, and our stay went without a hitch. The only downside for me was the lack of locals to visit with. Most people are vacationers -- nice enough, but lacking in the local flavor I hoped to experience. I got tired of hearing English but realize that we would have had a heck of a time functioning with our tiny Greek vocabulary.

Je rentre a peine d'Alonissos, on m avait dit que c'etait cool mais je pensais pas a ce point. la Villa est topissime, le wi fi marche super et c'est tout confort, rien a dire. On est Vraiment a 2 minutes de la plage, on est loin des stations balneaires les uns sur les autres. le + c'est que le proprio c'est occupé de nous depuis l aeroport et jusqu a la maison. Des vacances inoubliables, vive la Grèce
