If there is a heaven I hope it is in the village of Triantaros on the island of Tinos off the coast of Greece in the Artist House. Every inch of this 16th century villa has been lovingly renovated: from the gorgeous wooden beams above to the white-washed curve of a wall to the carefully chosen original art that graces every room. A large terrace looks out over the entire island of Tinos with the turquoise Aegean Sea as its backdrop. The hosts go out of their way to make you comfortable – a huge bowl of fresh oranges await me when I arrive – offering sight-seeing suggestions, and helping to plan the sometimes complicated logistics of side trips to other islands. Every room is inviting; I especially loved the little reading nook built into a corner with a bed, stained glass, and huge pillows…Everything is top quality and natural materials (no plastic in sight!), maintaining the spirit of the original house while providing all the modern conveniences, including an espresso maker. Wonderful books in the bookcase invite. Stay as long as you can, the Artist House will restore your weary body and soul! Cannot recommend this getaway enough!
