Peach and Quiet Review

Forgo the flashy accoutrements of a resort and, instead, claim one of the stylish suites in this small seaside inn. With no in-room noisemakers and no children around, the only sounds you will hear are the gentle surf and your own conversations. Hands-on British owners Adrian and Margaret Loveridge have been running Peach since 1988 and are constantly renovating and refurbishing the property—perhaps one reason it's closed half the year. Decor in the spacious suites, arranged in whitewashed Mykonos-inspired buildings, is elegantly spare. Cooled by ceiling fans, each suite also has a large terrace or balcony; however, bathrooms have showers only. Besides lazing in the freshwater pool and windsurfing at nearby beaches (a five-minute walk), you'll enjoy swimming and snorkeling in a natural "rock pool," joining early-morning or late-afternoon walks, and stargazing at night. You're advised to rent a car.

    Peach and Quiet is the most amazing place! Truly! Food, atmosphere, comfort,all are spectacular, and Margaret is a gem! It IS pretty remote, can't go out by foot at night at all. The only thing worth knowing that I have never seen in any of the many reviews I have read is that the large majority of people who stay there are elderly! My husband and I are 55 and when we stayed there for a week we were the youngest people at the place, and I mean young by a lot! Very worthwhile to stay ther, though.

    Don't tell all your friends about this place. It is a jewel and the bargain of the century. If you can handle not having air conditioning, which by the way is not necessary, and can accept towels that are not as fluffy as you might want, then this is the place for you. Great location, great food available if you like, wonderful hosts, close to the airport. A real bargain.

    My boyfriend and I visited in the winter of 2002 and returned for our honeymoon in 2006. It was difficult to have to wait so long between visits. The P & Q staff are exceptional at making each and every person's visit personal and perfect. The food is fantastic and Margaret and Adrian make your vacation all about you. While one can easily visit the rest of the island through public transportation or car rentals, who wants to? Once you've checked in, you won't need (or want) to leave. The beauty of the island and the sea isn't marred by tourists and time seems to stop and fly by when visiting. I can't wait for any opportunity to visit again.
