A place for relax and enjoy the Spectacular panorama
I stay for 7 days, enjoying the Spectacular Views from the balcón, a tradicional house from the greek islands at the top of Xora the main Town of the Island, clóset yo the castle, but a 5 minutes walking to the windmills which is the last place for cars to arrive, because at the old Town just by walking, so you need some good health condition. But It Is an amazing experience!

Beautiful
The apartment is gorgeous with an incredible view and perfect location within the town. Quiet but near everything you might need. The island is beautiful with amazing beaches. Maria who assisted us is super helpful and so lovely - gave us lots of invaluable tips. We can’t wait to come back to stay again! ❤️ Mouki and Soraya

Distinctive and unforgettable
It was our first trip to Astypalea, an island we'd been looking forward to visit one day for years! We loved it, and our choice to stay in this house in the chora made it perfect. It is in a quiet location, on a main path to the church and the Kastro, but even in August not too many tourists went by. (We felt especially privileged to be staying here while they probably were staying at some hotel without personality, but closer to the beaches). A few bars and restaurants are close by anyway, a 5 min. walk or so. Most of the Chora tavernas are good, I wouldn't really recommend one over the other, trust your own guidebooks. As for bars, there are two nice ones in the upper part of the chora, but I especially liked the kafeneio Karai, where we were also lucky to be able to watch a trio playing an excellent set one night (keep your eyes open for flyers and mini posters around the chora if you want to find good music). The house is cozy: not huge but comfortable, beautifully appointed, clean, all we needed was there. It is ideal for 2 people, but it suited us perfectly with 2 young kids too. The view is right on to the sea and it's unforgettable: the balcony overlooks a long bay so you have the stretch of water in front of you, and the land beyond it. The owner was not in Astypalea when we visited, but for keys etc. we met a friend of hers who was extremely friendly and helpful (she has a shop in the chora - don't miss it if you like quality souvenirs rather than the usual touristy stuff). We have stayed in dozens of places in many trips to the Cyclades and the Dodecanese and we have no doubt this place is among our 2 or 3 favourites. We would definitely like to stay here again and would not hesitate in recommending it to friends. Avoid it only if you tend to like hotels more than private homes! More island tips: 1) Maltezana has nice spots for bathing, and they are not too crowded; we liked Astakoukos and Almyra for food there. 2) If you tour the island by bus, like we did, you will probably find there are 2 buses taking turns on the same lines; the experience is definitely different on the 2 buses, try all you can to take at least one trip on Panagiotis' white bus, with 60s music and a huge pot of basil dangling from the rearview mirror as an air freshener.

Thank you very much for the nice commentary. It seems that you really discovered the island. The next time you go there you have to try in Maltezana the cafenion Maltesos, which is a good place to meet the locals. On place in Astypalea to swim is the beach of Magazi, which is just 5 minutes walk from the house, straight down. You can see it from the balcony, but it is a little bit difficult to go down with children. A nice place to eat is Elias restaurant in the middle of the platia. So till next time ...

Bellissima esperienza
È stata un’esperienza bellissima! Abbiamo soggiornato in questa meravigliosa casa dentro la chora con una vista magnifica! La casa rispecchiava perfettamente le caratteristiche descritte online. Ci siamo trovati benissimo con la host Maria e la proprietaria Laura, sono state gentilissime e ci hanno subito aiutato a risolvere imprevisti. Una piccola pecca è la mancanza di aria condizionata che in alcune serate particolarmente afose rende difficoltoso dormire. Nel complesso consigliamo assolutamente il soggiorno presso questa meravigliosa struttura.

Jolie maison de Chora avec vue incroyable
Un séjour paisible au rythme du village de Chora. Chaque matin c’est une vue époustouflante qui nous attendait sur le balcon, vue que nous avions plaisir à retrouver le soir pour le coucher du soleil. La maison est parfaitement équipée, meublée avec goût et pratique à vivre. On apprécie les courants d’air faciles à créer et le grand fan qui permet de se rafraîchir la nuit (la maison ne possède pas de climatisation). La communication avec Maria qui gère les arrivées sur place a été très agréable et elle s’est montrée disponible même pour notre check-in à 2h du matin, heure d’arrivée de notre ferry. Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour à Astypalea et recommandons à 200% la maison de Irina.

Wohlfühlhaus
Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist schlicht und einfach und gerade deshalb als Kontrast werden Griechenlandgefühle wach, die an frühere Zeiten erinnern. Gut gemacht!

Een fantastisch huisje midden in het dorp Chora met een leuk zonnig balkon met uitzicht op zee.
Een heerlijk Grieks huisje midden in het dorp. Schoon, leuk ingericht en met een balkon met uitzicht op zee. We hebben er een fantastische tijd gehad. Als je minder goed ter been bent is dit huisje misschien niet goed omdat je een eind naar boven moest het straatje in. Verder kan ik het iedereen aanbevelen.

Fully equipped, amazing view
The house is even better than the pictures show. Just steps away from ancient kastro and incredible sea view from balcony and windows. It was fantastic to wake up in the morning and see the blue directly from the bed. The property is quite uphill in the heart of old town (sooo nice) but no stairs are required, so the access is easy, despite being right in the heart of kastro, this is a real plus. Just be aware that you need to climb an internal ladder in order to reach the bedroom and the ceiling there is quite low, so be prepared. It is a traditional island bedroom. We contacted both Irina and Maria, who locally cares about the house, and both were very nice and helpful. We had a perfect stay and I would definitely recommend this house.

A romantic little house with sea view
It’s a lovely house with a mesmerizing view. Everything was clean and tidy. Very near to the castle and the cathedral, the house is located not far from the restaurants and the night life in Chora but without all the noise. We had a wonderful time. The person who welcomed us, Maria, was also very helpful and accommodating.
