Immaculate Villa, Excellent Hosts

The villa is wonderful, inside and out. Easy to find with good roads. Beautifully clean and well presented. We were very well looked after by our hosts with a fantastic welcome and regular check ins throughout our 2 week stay. The pools were cleaned daily and the villa every 4 days or so. There are so many lovely local tavernas and supermarkets and even a local bakery and butcher too. The hosts had lots of great recommendations of activities and places to eat, and any problems or questions we had were all dealt with within 24 hours which was fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and would highly recommend this villa to families with children of any age.
