Everything about the house is wonderful - location, pool, rooms, kichen incl. equipment ... absolutely great! Manos was of great help and we felt at home immediately. Thanks for everything!
Der Gastgeber Manos war jederzeit per Mail und whatts App erreichbar, bei Fragen oder Tipps. Vor Ort war dann auch Giorgos. Sehr unkomplizierter, angenehmer Austausch. Das Haus hat eine tolle Lage in Plakias und die Bilder entsprechen absolut dem, was man vor Ort auch vorfindet.Bei der Ausstattung hat es an nichts gemangelt.
Schöne, große Unterkunft in toller Lage und umfangreicher Ausstattung
Wir hatten einen rundum schönen Aufenthalt. Das Haus ist sehr groß mit vielen Zimmern, großen Betten, einer sehr gut ausgestatteten Küche und einer Vielzahl an Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten. Schöner, gemütlicher Außenbereich mit Pool und tollem Ausblick. Lage ist auch top.
