The views from the upstairs rooms and balconies are breathtaking, and the villa itself is full of charm and exceptionally spacious.The pool was pristine and surrounded by beautifully kept grounds, making it a perfect place to relax. Our host was fantastic from start to finish — even allowing us a late checkout due to our evening flight, which made our departure so much easier. We also met the lovely cleaner as we were leaving, who kindly helped us with our luggage.Thank you for helping make our holiday truly unforgettable.

The property was homely and welcoming, completely private, not overlooked, yet everything you could want was within walking distance - the beach, bars, restaurants and shops. We had a car, which for us was essential for day-trips, for larger supermarket shops, and for travel to some amazing local tavernas in nearby villages. Back to the villa - inside had everything we needed, and the pool space worked perfectly. Great communication from Alexandros, our host. Would definitely come back!Perfect for us and 3 teenagers, but imagine it would also be great for families with younger children.

The villa itself was lovely, spacious and looked just like the photos with plenty of space for everyone and a great pool. Alexios was really responsive and gave lots of great local recommendations, and quickly came to fix a few issues that came up. The location is a quiet area which is short walk to a pebble beach and a few restaurants and shops, but as we had a car it was really easy to explore the rest of the island. Thanks again and we’ll be back!
