We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful villa, if you are looking for peace, relaxation and absolutely breathtaking views then this is the villa for you. The villa is equipped with everything you could possibly need, lovely kitchenware, bedding, towels, tea, coffee, even hair straighteners in the bathrooms!!! and is spotlessly clean.
You definitely need to hire a car to explore the island and the amazing beaches and Mahi (who runs the property) was very helpful in arranging this for us. We were met by Eleni the housekeeper who was really friendly and told us where to shop, beaches to visit etc etc and was happy to answer any questions we had.
Glossa is the closest village, about 25 mins in the car, which had a lovely feel to it, very welcoming, nice little bars and a couple of nice restaurants. If you don't want to drive, there is a track (to the right at the top of the hill) that takes about 5 mins by car and about 15 to walk into the top of Glossa which we found very handy, we drove into Glossa, had dinner and drinks and then walked by and picked up the car the next day.
The owners parents came to do a little work at the property while we were there and they were lovely, we bumped into them in Glossa one evening and they invited us into their home and talked with us about their family, which was a highlight of our holiday, they were wonderful.
We had the pleasure of a cat and its kittens whilst we stayed and we loved having them there and looking after them, they entertained us with their antics.
There was no Wifi at the property, which in this day and age may seem strange, but I think it added to our holiday, whilst we all lead very busy lives, it was great to just totally switch off from everything and have some real rest and relaxation.
Everywhere you went on the island, the views and scenery were breathtaking, but non better than waking up every morning, and seeing the spectacular views from the villa, we loved every minute of it and hope to go back again some day.
