Excellent facilities for smaller children under 5. Spacious and very clean. Large swimming pool (not heated) with section for toddlers. Garden area with swings and slide, plus covered shaded areas when required. Larger BBQ and Pizza oven. Great views over Agia Pelagia. Whilst a little remote, it was safe and secure. Tranquility, as only two identical properties on the site. Village only 5 mins away by car, where there are plenty of restaurant choices and supermarkets that provide most needs. A great deal of basics were provided on arrival, including fruit, milk, coffee, tea, bread, cereals, biscuits, water, ice. Nice touch by the owner. Wifi also good.

The villa was absolutely beautiful. It was very clean and the establishment was high quality. Sensational view and a great pool outside. Enough space for 6 persons. Every single bedroom has got his own bathroom with a shower inside. The city is just a few minutes down the hill with a car. We loved everything about the villa. It was planned and created with love for detail. The landlord was very nice to us. Early arrival was no problem and he was available via phone when we had a question. The personal who visited us and gave us some instructions was also nice and friendly. It was a pleasure to be your guests. We will definitely come back here. If you are looking for high class holiday where you can enjoy the silence it is definitely the right place.
