Beauty and Tranquility
This is such a tranquil and soothing place. It was just what I was looking for. As beautiful as the pictures are it is even better in person. The studio is filled with light but it stays wonderfully cool with soft breezes from the cross ventilation. The décor is restrained and tastefully done; many of the antiques are from the family; the fabrics are traditionally handcrafted; and the ceramics are all made by Alexia. The basket of fruits, vegetables and homemade jam that awaited me on arrival was so artfully arranged that at first I didn’t realize it was real.
Initially, Lefteris and Alexia gave me plenty of privacy but when it became clear that as a single traveler I didn’t mind the company they took me under their wing, making suggestions about the best beaches, letting me in on a traditional Greek festival at a nearby village, giving me a tour of the farm and generally making me feel completely at home. As a woman traveling alone I felt absolutely safe.
As mentioned in the some of the other reviews, you will need a car. But it was so nice to return to the shady avenues of Chroussa after a day of exploring beaches or the bustle of Hermoupolis. I really can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you are looking for a quiet, restorative retreat. Thank you Alexia and Lefteris! I hope to return someday.
