Laid-back rustic relaxation. Your sweet and friendly hostess will provide breakfast fare and maid service and there are 2 "tavernas"--outside cafes--just a few steps away. The Aegean is calm and clear and just 20 ft. away. Wonderful for swimming. The mini-mart in the town above is about 4 miles away. There is no internet at the room, but you can use the cafe's connection. This is the locals' beach area so you can see Greek life how it really is. You will be treated like family at Eleni's. Quiet and serene, a real treasure tucked away on a back road. You can see Turkey just a few miles away. Many sights to see on the island and the drive around it is stunning in beauty. Don't miss the olive press museum and the ouzo factory. You will have close neighbors in the other units, but ours turned into friends and we went to dinner together. The Greeks are friendly and will call out "Kalimera!" as they walk past.

Simply amazing - five stars is just not enough

I have never had such a warm welcome as that we received from Elana & Mary. They provided a welcoming bottle of local wine, regular meat, cheese, home made pastries and a large farewell bottle of their own olive oil. Tsonia is a quiet fishing village with friendly restaurants yards away. This is a traditional beach chalet with shower, toilet, wash basin, kithenette, fridge/ freezer, aircon & tv. It can sleep 4, but is more comfortable with 2 or 3. The large patio with table, seating & sun canopy is only yards from the sea. There is also a small rear patio. A double glazed door & window with fly screen enable you to watch fishermen on the Agean in comfort from your bed!! The chalet is cleaned twice a week, when fresh linen & towels are provided. In the landlady's garden you can watch wild tortoises feed on her lovely plums. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS LOW PRICED CHALET FOR A 'GET AWAY FROM IT ALL' HOLIDAY on beautiful Lesvos.
