  : 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. Didnt 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.

  : 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).
