A View of the Castle

A View of the Castle: Astypalaia

Found in Astypalaia, where history and heritage collide, this home pays homage to both. Minimalist with a whitewashed Cycladic exterior, the interior is matched to create a coastal atmosphere whilst holding to tradition. Though it's small and everyone might not feel comfortable on the spiral staircase, you can catch a glimpse of the Venetian Castle of Astypalaea from the balcony. Beach lovers can drop their bags and find themselves on the shores of Livadi in a matter of minutes. The kitchen is okay for light bites, but with several restaurants around, you wouldn't need to bother if you don't want to.

Home truths:
*This home is spread over two floors, with no internal lift – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility *This home is in a central spot, so noise is to be expected *A long staircase leads down to the beach – little ones will need supervision on these
