“There are no words to describe Touchstone! The property was absolutely spectacular and the host was so accommodating and warm. We had the best time and will 100% be back.”

“A beautiful house in a wonderful location. Situated just outside Chora but a surprisingly easy 20-minute walk into town — the excellent bars, tavernas and restaurants. Comfortable and well equipped, with a good-sized pool and extensive gardens. Support from Melia and her team was quite superb.”

“We had an incredible stay. The whole property is beautifully designed and the gardens are gorgeous, with so many lovely spots to sit with your coffee in the morning. We could barely tear ourselves away from the pool. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“An amazing place where we spent a whole week. Recently renovated with amazing attention to detail and fully equipped, making our stay effortless. The location is great — near Chora but also slightly remote and quiet. Communication was quick and easy!”

“The area around the three houses of the Touchstone is new and very nicely laid out — with a spectacularly large pool. The houses are fantastically furnished inside and there is everything you need for a stay. Especially the privacy is great. Thanks to the great host!”
