Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in dieser Unterkunft! Die Anlage ist wunderschön gestaltet, mit Oliven- und Orangenbäumen überall. Es ist offensichtlich, dass die Besitzer viel Liebe in die Pflege des Gartens stecken. Das Haus selbst ist modern und gemütlich, mit einer gut ausgestatteten Küche. Wir haben jeden Morgen auf der Terrasse gefrühstückt und abends dort gesessen. Der Pool war groß genug zum Schwimmen und die Betten waren bequem. Das Badezimmer ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber sauber. Insgesamt können wir diese Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder! Elia und ihre Familie sind tolle Gastgeber und haben sich um alles gekümmert. Der Kontakt von der Ankunft bis zur Abreise war reibungslos. Und der Supermarkt ist mit dem Auto in nur 5 Minuten erreichbar. 5 Sterne!

Paradiesisch

Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und sehr sauber. Die Ausstattung in Bad und Küche lässt keine Wünsche offen. Gute Betten! Von der Terrasse aus hat man einen herrlichen Blick in die Anlage. Nachbarn sind so weit entfernt, dass sie nicht stören. Die Anlage, u.a. Zitronen-, Olivenbäume, Blumen und Kräuter, ist sehr gepflegt. Der kleine Pool (mit Liegen am Rande) bietet eine Abkühlung an heißen Tagen. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst herzlich und gastfreundlich. Man wird mit Tipps (für Ausflüge, Wanderungen, Restaurants, Einkausmöglichkeiten usw.) versorgt. Vielen Dank und alle guten Wünsche die gesamte Familie! (Leider kann an nur 5 Sterne vergeben)

kind landlord, warm welcome, wunderful house and garden

We spent two wonderful weeks in one of three houses that Elia rents out. We received a warm welcome, even though we arrived late at night. There is a spacious garden with a pool, olive trees, lemons, oranges, tangerines, figs and other plants. The house is well suited for four people and has everything we expected. It is quietly located just outside the village of Pagkalochori. If something was missing or the internet went down, our hosts helped quickly and efficiently. We would come back at any time. :-)
