Hello Sarah and JC
I thought I’d write this to you since we are just back from our idyllic time in your villa in Milos. Now its raining in England and we miss being there!! Its truly autumn in England but in Milos the sun shines every day!
When we first found the village of Trypiti, the streets we so small and cobbled, we couldn’t believe that your villa would be right in the middle of the village and yet have the amazing views and peace and quiet you said there would be. So we turned off the main street, and in its own little private enclave, there sat your gorgeous villa, with no sounds except the occasional church bells and nothing but pure views from every window and every terrace.
We woke the next morning, and couldn’t believe how amazing it was – the kids (in the bedroom next to us) and we - all walked straight out of our rooms, straight onto the terrace, and sat at the breakfast table, drinking freshly squeezed orange juice (my the local oranges are so sweet and juicy!) and fresh figs from your tree! Silence was golden as we just leaned back and looked around us at the views! We saw amazing birds flying overhead and the little boats coming and going across the water in the distance. On the other island opposite we used your wonderful binoculars to see the tiny church and people walking there to enjoy the peace and quiet. We were in heaven!
By day we explored many different beaches, all with amazingly warm water, and we tried a different restaurant every evening. The local food is simple and healthy and so tasty!
Our friends were taken by the romance of the island and he proposed to her! So while we were out visiting the restaurants, they sat on your upper terrace and enjoyed watching the incredible sunsets . They stayed in the annexe bedroom, which although was only 6 foot away from the main villa; it gave them a little extra privacy.
With five terraces, we could choose to be together or apart, we could wallow in the chill-out pool, or sit in the shade of the olive trees.
It was the simple life, the good life, and we miss it, and thank you, and would like to come back next year please!
With heartfelt thanks
Tracy and family.
