"Great outdoor area with multiple seating areas. Views to the sea are amazing! Infinity pool was very nice and kept clean throughout our stay. Inside was very clean, kitchen had all we needed to cook simple meals. Trash was removed daily. Very private unit. Location was close to town, but not walking distance. Last .5 miles is on a steep rocky road. Was not a problem for our small car. Only two issues…first was large black ants in the primary bathroom. Notified the management company who...

Exclusive Villa with stunning, Sea and White Mountains Views and Internet access
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (113)
"The villa is amazing. All amenities included, except WiFi. There is an odd request for £50 for this after we booked. The WiFi doesn’t reach upstairs. The pool and gardens are regularly maintained and are beautiful. The view is stunning. It’s an out of the way location, so peaceful but you need a car. Many beaches a short drive away. The villa is well managed and any requests were dealt with immediately. Definitely recommend a stay here for a peaceful holiday."

8.0 out of 10, Very good, (4)
"The property is away from everything but still close enough to get to things easily. Loved the quiet of the place, even with other people on the property you hardly noticed them. The pool was excellent and the perfect place to cool off at the end of the day. Check in was easy and when we called the host to figure out the electricity situation it went great. Didn't know about the card in the slot to get the electricity on. I had heard about it but had never seen it before. The only thing I would...

"Our stay at the villa was very enjoyable & relaxing. The host family was extremely welcoming, attentive & generous - we enjoyed some lovely homemade meals. The villa was well- serviced. We enjoyed the large comfortable bed & found the villa, in general, well-appointed & comfortable - good air-conditionimg & appliances were much appreciated. Our pool, in the lower villa, did not enjoy the privacy we expected as the villa above has a good view of it, but this wasn't really an issue. We enjoyed the...

The nearest Taverna is just over a kilometer away but you are unlikely to encounter a car walking there. Beautiful lake nearby to see the fresh water turtles."

"Overall loved the place. There were a few niggles like the garden lights being intentionally turned off detracting from the atmosphere, penny-pinching in the extreme. Not being able to leave the washing machine or dishwasher on when going out because the electricity fob was locked to the door key, very patronising, especially considering the money paid for rental.the location was excellent and the outside ameneties great. Did think more effort could be put into a welcome basket maybe salt pepper...

"Breathtaking views perched on the hills overlooking the sea and the white mountains. Run by a wonderful and helpful local family. I loved this property even with the tiny shower and slow internet (Whole area is slow). This is the best place for this area, close to a beautiful town Georgioupoli and to over 6-10 miles of beach. It has a nice pool but the balconies are the steal. "

"For the first three days in the property, our vacation was made very difficult because of the smell of damp, which was so bad that my wife wanted to leave and stay somewhere else on our first day of being in the property. It spoiled the beginning of our holiday. The fact that the property had not been opened and that it was damp inside for a long time meant that, even though we had all the windows open, candles and air fresheners, and that we left the property for a long time during the days...

6.8 out of 10, (130)
"The pools and outside space are lovely at its very picturesque but the room was very dated and the bathroom was in poor condition with glass slats missing. The air-conditioning is old and struggled to cool the size of room. The shampoo and shower gel dispenser was broken when i contacted reception the receptionist was unhelpful.
