Politimi studios is a very charming place in the centre of the Chora. We had a wonderful time there. Maria the owner is a very sweet lady, she made us feel at home. Weâll come again :)
Politimis Studios are set around a lovely courtyard garden, very quiet and 4 minutes walk from the main street in Chora for bars, restaurants and shops. (Walk UP the steps just by the entrance gate and you are there).
I would say that it is 3 star accommodation. The beds are very comfortable and rooms are of a good size. Most sleep 3 people.
The studios are run by the charming and helpful Maria (who speaks English) and if there is anything you think you might need extra you just have to phone her and she will be there for you. I guess the kitchens are under equipped in some ways but you have all the basics. You don't want to cook there anyway with so many wonderful tavernas and bars in town. Good shower with excellent power and always very hot water. This is not luxury but excellent comfortable accommodation in Greek Island style. There is a lady on hand who does all the cleaning and washing and will also do laundry if asked. Rooms were serviced every day - towels and bedding not always renewed but in such a case you just have to go and ask and it will be done. Everything had washed on site.
Views are good. One room has a private balcony so if available ask to be upgraded to it for a small extra charge. I would particularly recommend "Botteille" (4 mins walk) with it's roof terrace. Great bar staff and lovely waitresses - very charming - all as skilled as in a cocktail bar in New York or London. The town has excellent restaurants.
Amorgas attracts a sophisticated crowd.
You must understand in the smaller Greek Islands in winter that nearly everything is closed. Maria didn't know I was arriving as a huge storm had hit Amorgos and she had no internet. However, Maria was brilliant she took me in her car to places, she gave excellent suggestions and directions ( don't miss the monastery at Hora , it is stunning ) She allowed me pick vegetables from her garden, because I was the only tourist there. As a land lady for four days , as a single traveler it was terrific. Cheers Neal Endacott
la proprietaria Maria, Ăš molto gentile, fornisce consigli su dove andare e cosa vedere ad Amorgos, viene a prenderti e ti riporta al porto di katapola. la camera Ăš come da foto, il bagno un po' piccolo, perĂČ la posizione Ăš ottima per muoversi, sia per visitare l'isola, sia per stare nella chora
Huge room+kitchen, peaceful place with a cute garden, sweet and helpful hostess - what's not to love! Location is great since it's not in the middle of everything but still literally only few steps away from the center of Chora where everything is near. Chora/Amorgos is one of the best places in the whole Europe!
