Absolutely delightful
We loved it here! It was a lovely village house in a genuine, non-tourist village with all the noises, smells and cacophony that you get in everyday life - including the neighbour giving us fresh eggs from her hens.
The house, Kipo, is just gorgeous for a holiday with a wonderful garden and plenty of outdoor spaces to eat, or just sit and relax, or read and have coffee. The beds are comfortable; the ensuite is adequate for two people and the main bathroom is spacious; the kitchen is well-equipped with some thoughtful snacks, plus tea and coffee to get you started; and the WiFi is excellent.
It may be slightly impractical in colder months if you wanted to eat inside as the kitchen is downstairs (with two adjoining bedrooms) and the inside dining area upstairs. We didn't use this at all for meals while we were there, as it was mid-to-late September and we had our meals outdoors.
Geraldine was great to deal with via email, and George her caretaker/manager was really helpful and friendly and ready to assist with anything if required.
Our one tip: make sure you have a car or scooter. Hora is just a bit out of the way to be relying on public transport or walking everywhere. And, if it's a car, make sure it's a small one because the drive to the parking space for the house predates cars as the normal mode of transport!
