From the first time I emailed Kostas at Vriokastro I knew that he was going to be a great host! Great correspondence from start to finish.
We were picked up from the port by Kostas and he gave us a mini tour of Chora, pointing out a few places of interest and also supermarkets and stopping off to get maps and bus timetables. This as it was our first time in Tinos was brilliant and just another added extra that made our stay in Vriokastro special!
Our studio was a ground floor corner room and was equiped with everything you could need and more for a holiday. As well as toaster, coffee maker, etc there was also a small oven, iron and hairdryer. The bathroom had plenty of shelf space and had a great shower - which is always a bonus! Plenty of hot water.
Our patio was brilliant and had sea views and also overlooked the garden with it's gentle and friendly cats who were always there for company!
We were very generously provided with the use of a bike so getting our morning loaf of bread was not a hardship.
Kostas was always happy to give any help and arranged car hire for us too. He also certainly likes to look after his guests, offering for us to look at a bigger room when it became available. We were returned back to the port at the end of our stay with the same care and attention as when we first arrived! 
Simply it was one of our best experiences and we will definately stay there again!
ευχαριστώ πολύ τον Κώστα

Simply The Best !!

I travel around the Greek islands quite frequently, and this time I wanted to explore the less popular Tinos, and really have a total 'disconnect' experience and that is exactly what I got!  Kastro, the owner, picked me up from the port and was the most genuine and friendly person I have met! He drove me around the main chora showing me sights and good places to see/eat etc before we went to the apartments (or I would rather call it an amazing greek villa in the countryside). The location is somewhat remote, about a 10 minute drive, 30 min bike ride, 60 min walk from the chora, but there isnt much around, which is lovely, other than some very friendly cats, a deserted beach (which was amazing!) and a few restaurants about 10mins away. Kastro provided me with a bicycle to get around with which was a nice touch! The apartments themselves are very basic, but clean, stocked with everything you need including toiletries, bottled water and coffee. And the wifi is FAST! Honestly, this place was absolutely amazing, and I would highly suggest it if you just want to disappear for a bit! Kastro also will drop you back off to the port to catch your ferry when you leave. Just FYI its cash only which you pay on checkout. Not sure if Tinos is my island of choice, as it is very different (from the other Cyclades) and quite large, but if i ever go back, I will definitely stay here!

A real hidden gem!

This is a very special small place, about 2.5 km outside of the main port town of Tinos Island.  The owner, Kostas, is one of the kindest and friendliest hoteliers I have ever met, from the moment he picked me up at the port in his yellow Fiat, to showing me the room, recommending restaurants, telling me which village on the island I had to visit, picking me up when I left and bringing my bags to the port.  Not to mention telling me to borrow his bicycle to go to and from town (the road goes all along the Aegean)!  His enthusiasm for Tinos island is infectious, and everything about the hotel reflects that.  He is very respectful of his guests - even to the point of offering me another room to rest in for the afternoon once I had checked out of my room.
    The room itself was clean, spotless, great shower, beautiful floor that his father made from scraps of marble, with a kitchen (I didn't use), and a mosquito repellent light.  The flowers outside are gorgeous.  Wifi was fine.  Location was ideal.
    I've stayed in fancier places, even more picturesque places, but I don't know if I've ever stayed anyplace that I have enjoyed so much in every way.  Ef haristo, Kostas!

Can't wait to return.

We just came back from an 8 days stay at Kosta's apartments. The first night, due to a misunderstanding at reservation, Kosta was not able to host us but did all his best to arrange an alternative acomodation at a friend's studio, which we appreciated. Our studio at Vriokastro was spacious, clean and tastefully decorated. The apartment was equipped with a kitchenette, filter coffee machine, kettle and even mosquito repellent machine. There was also TV, radio and air conditioning, which we never used since at night the wind cools the air naturally. The bathroom was tiny but cute, since the shower seemed to be carved into the walls. Every apartment has a veranda where cats come to say ciao if you show them simpathy. The beach (2.5 km long and almost deserted except for a very nice beach bar with a few umbrellas and a beach volley court) is 3 minutes walking and the town (Chora) is 5 minutes away by car. Regarding the car, Kosta kindly arranged us the chepest solution for a small car, wisely suggesting to skip any motorbike, because when wind blows it becomes very hard to drive, and he was definitively right!

Nice & quiet location close to Chora

We stayed at Vriokastro Apartments in July.  We were two families traveling together with children ages 10-15 and loved it!

We were greeted by Kostas at the port.  He was able to spot our party immediately coming off the ferry.  Because there were 9 of us, he suggested to take our luggage to the apartments and come back and pick us up.  That gave us the opportunity to pick up food supplies in the main town.

The accommodations are simple but very clean and there is daily maid service.  The upper floor apartments have a great view of the sea and for even a better view, climb up to the rooftop. The rooms are spacious and  Wi-fi is available. The kitchens are well equipped and bottled water is provided.  We were thankful that air conditioning was available as it was very hot during the time we were there. 

Our walk to the lovely beach only took a couple of minutes and Chora (Tinos town) is about 3 Km away.  Much of it can be walked along the beach. 

Kostas is a fantastic host and bends over backwards to make your stay as comfortable as possible.  He is willing to give you a lift to town daily and back to the apartment.  Just give him a time.  He knows his island well and gives good advice on what to see and do. He even made arrangements for rental cars for one day so we could explore the island. Kostas is a generous man.  He let us do our laundry during our stay and even provided the soap!  He bought us local sausage to try and sent us off onto our next destination with a box of yummy almond cookies to enjoy.  We love and miss Kostas!

If you are looking for a quiet and quaint location on this wonderful island we suggest for you stay here..

Beautiful and tranquil location

Vriokastro (sometimes also spelled Vryokastro) Apartments is comprised of six studios and apartments.

The accommodation is basic but very clean and Kostas the young owner can't do enough to help.  There is aircon and free wifi.

It is about 3km from Tinos town.  There is a bus service that terminates a couple of minutes' walk away, just by the helicopter pad.  Kostas is back-and-fore to and from town and happy to give lifts or to pick up things in town (there is no nearby shop or kiosk).

I had the studio with the outdoor shower and large shady terrace.  It was bliss.  Walking to the beach (just at the end of the 'drive' and across the very quiet road) in my swimming shorts carrying just my towel to have my early morning and late afternoon swims was a real highlight of my Greece trip this summer.

If you are not comfortable around dogs, talk to Kostas as his boxer, Paris, is often found roaming the site.  When I was there I was also terrorised (to my delight) by four adorable kittens.
