  : We really liked that the villa was big and spacious, also equipped with all the kitchen facilities and barbecue area, the beautiful garden, the view from the terrace. It is situated in a very small village on the seafront and it is very quiet and peaceful area. There are a lot of taverns and coffees on the street which are just by the sea and the beach where the food is amazing - delicious and very affordable. Our host Mr Trendafilos and also the manager Mr Argiris were extremely polite and helpful and were always available for help and support with any issue. There was also someone who came every couple of days to take care of the garden and outside area. Special thanks to the host and the manager once again for their hospitality, kindness and cooperation and for the recommendations about local places to visit. Overall our stay was great despite the unfortunate natural disaster in the area and we feel for the people living in this area, hopefully next year everything will be fixed and gone back to normal.
  : Due to recent floods that happened in the village, unfortunately the beach was left quite dirty and the seaside roads destroyed. There was quite a lot of dust however the locals were doing everything they can to fix the damages. This also reflected on the quality of the internet but this was not something the host could take care of since the internet provider has identified this issue which was due to broken cables in the area. The host provided us with a mobile phone with plenty of data and we all used it as a hotspot. The only inconvenience about this however was the fact that we had to be all together around the phone in order to use it around 2 meters distance apart max. The good thing was that we could take it to the beach and still have internet. In terms of the villa itself, the only inconvenience was that the bathroom on the upper floor was extremely tiny and it was quite difficult taking a proper shower there. Also about the villa, it would have been great if there was any cleaning service provided. As we stayed there for about 12 days, the house got messy as there was 5 of us and even though we were cleaning the terrace floors, the wind would bring back some dust which was annoying. A cleaning service every couple of days would be a great idea in future.

  : Great location with beautiful view from the top. From the beach in front of the house you can admire a beautiful sunset. The front terrace its perfect for breakfast, or to lay and listen the waves in the evening. The barbecue in the backyard was a great alternative for restaurant eating. We had everything we need to feel like home. A great surprise was the great variaty of beach gadgets: canoe, boat, sunchairs.
  : There are a lot of fragile decorations so it was quite stressful to keep everything in one piece, especially because we had 3 boys in the grous. Also the bedroom in the basement is not so appealing, w/o natural light.
