Family holiday

What a lovely villa in the hills! The presentation, cleanliness and attention to detail was very good. The owner welcomed us on arrival and we had excellent communication throughout the stay. Regular cleans and the pool was kept spotless. The villa is not far from the beach 1.5km, but it is down a steep hill which the kids would not have managed on foot in the heat. However, the beach by the 3 Tavernas is beautiful, sandy, clean and lovely for snorkelling. The tavernas all have good local fresh food at good prices. The snack bar was great, cheap and the staff so friendly. The bonus for the accommodation from the kids point of view was the smart TV and air con which worked well. Make sure you look at the night sky when the lights go out… so many stars! Wonderful family time away in a great villa.

Fabulous

This villa is fantastic. It is beautifully furnished and well maintained there is none of the wear and tear you see in many villas. The host Vaggelis was very friendly and a really nice guy. The pool was cleaned daily and a cleaner called every 3 days providing fresh bedding and towels. The cleaner lives very close by which is really handy if after too much Rakki you lock yourself out 🙄 sorry! The village is very quiet and a car is recommended to see the island. A few minutes drive and you are at the beach with a selection of restaurants and a supermarket. I don't often do this but to avoid disappointment avoid Tiannhe.... There is a small job just a 2 minute walk from the villa which also serves lovely coffee and fresh orange juice. A great place... Great owner and lots of lovely homemade Orange cake (which we finished on the plane Vaggelis) Thanks for your hospitality. Cindy & Adam

Absolutely Perfect!!!

We were so happy we rented this truly amazing villa. Its stunning!!! From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we felt like part of the community!! Vangelis made us feel so welcome and his mum makes the BEST orange cake!!!! He is always on hand if you need him but not at all intrusive! He brought us (very) fresh eggs and lettuce from his garden and was just lovely!The villa is modern and extremely clean with lots of little touches to make your stay here even more perfect. There's a bbq with everything you need to get it going, a pizza oven, a beautiful large patio covered in grapevines for very welcome shade and the pool is perfect!! Bedrooms are large with loads of closet space and the bathroom is gorgeous with an amazing walk in shower! The kitchen has everything you need and a full size fridge freezer so great for stocking up! It has beautiful views out to sea and over the countryside!! A car is essential and the roads can be "adventurous " but its great driving around and finding little out of the way tavernas!! We found a gem of a place on the beach with the best seafood! There's a tiny supermarket/taverna about a minutes walk from the villa but we found a better supermarket about 5 mins drive away which had much more choice. All in all we had the best time. Lovely villa, lovely food, lovely people, lovely weather.....what more can you ask for? Would highly recommend this villa and we will definitely be returning!!
