The villa exceeded all of our expectations. It was very spacious, clean and filled with all house hold applications you could want on your holiday. The swimming pool area was very nice, with great quality beds to lay on. What made our stay even better was the excellent hospitality of Stelios. He always replied very quick to our messages and gave us heads up when the house or pool would be cleaned. The villa was completely cleaned twice in our 11 day stay. The Krivek Supermarket is just a 5 minute walk away from the villa and has everything from good meat to the regular supplies you need. Stelios' friend Theo provided us with a reliable taxi service at all hours for a good price. Both from and to the airport, as well as back home from the strip late at night. I would definitely recommend a stay at this accommodation!

I cannot say enough about this villa and Stelious the host. It was absolutely amazing! Beautiful surroundings and very peaceful. Only a short distance from old hersonnissis and an easy commute to everywhere else. Our host Stelious was amazing, organized our taxis and had the villa cleaned every 3 days. He went above and beyond for us and I would most definitely recommend him and his villa. We will 100% be staying here again when we visit Greece next year.

Was a great host and greeted us on arrival with a friendly and helpful attitude, he was always very easily contactable throughout our stay. The villa is set in a quiet area and hiring a car to get around is recommended. It is a 15-20 minute walk to the restaurants of the Old Town, which is a lovely family friendly place to go. We had a relaxing stay and would not hesitate to recommend!
