Our stay at this incredible villa was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that no detail had been overlooked. The outdoor space was peaceful and beautifully designed, offering breathtaking views and the perfect spot to unwind. The pool was absolutely pristine—a dreamy oasis we enjoyed every single day.Inside, the home was cozy, comfortable, and exceeded all of our expectations. It was truly worth every penny. But what made the experience unforgettable was our host. She was warm, welcoming, and incredibly thoughtful, ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect—from a generous welcome basket with fresh fruit and wine to arranging in-villa massages. Her care and attention to detail made us feel completely pampered.This was one of the best villa experiences we’ve ever had, and we are already dreaming of returning. Highly, highly recommend!

The Villa was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 7 adults and 3 small children. The view of sunrise was stunning and the pool with jacuzzi was an everyday must. We really appreciated being greeted by Natalia and a big plate of fresh fruits. The bathrooms were very nice and clean. The house had a lot of lovely furniture and equipment. We could really live there as if it was our home. The cleaning service halfway through the stay was refreshing. Natalia was always responsive and gave me recommendations regarding absolutely everything. The only downside for us perhaps was the fact that there isn't much to do in walking distance (besides a restaurant or two) but at least the restaurant next door had a large play area for children. I would recommend renting a car althought the taxi service recommended by Natalia was very responsive and reliable as well.

Very pleasant stay - would definitely recommend bigger groups of 8-10 people to choose this amazing villa! Good facilities, only thing is that it could use a table tennis or pool table, otherwise it has everything.

Absolutely EVERYTHING! From the generosity and hospitality of the owners to the Greek taverna that was literally next door...The fact that NOTHING was spared by the owners made this villa feel like our own home and not a summer short term rental property. From the deliciously soft Zara Home bed linen to the amazing power shower. As for the swimming pool and the view....to die for!

The Villa is even more beautiful than what's seen in the pics and views are truly breathtaking (wake up to see the sunrise !). Eva the host demonstrated superb hospitality, arranged for airport pickup and even bought some groceries for us. Villa's facilities and equipment has excellent quality and mostly brand new. The next-door Taberna is also a great benefit.
