Guest comments
We've all decided this is the best house we have stayed in - and we've been holidaying together for 10 years, so that's saying something! A lovely place in a lovely area and excellent tips and advice. Jamie's boat trip was particularly fab! Thanks for all your help. The Bullivant, Kipps & Meredith families. 26th August 2007.
What a wonderful introduction to Life in Greece, so good to have a true "home" base while we explored. Thankyou. Crean & Batt Families 2nd September 2007
