This is a beautiful house in an outstanding setting. The interiors and grounds are all first class and a joy to spend time in. The pool is large and has a lovely array of loungers and seating areas around it, all with fantastic views of the ocean and nearby mountains. The gardens surrounding the house are particularly lovely and include fruit trees such as lime, pomegranate and fig. There is such a lovely amount of space that even for a large group of 8 as we were, there was plenty of room for everyone - it feels akin to having a boutique hotel to yourselves.
The villa stands alone on a stretch of beach but within easy reach in a few minutes by car to the harbour village of Makry-Gialos where you can find restaurants and shops.
A couple of things worth noting - the beach beside the villa is 'clothing optional' that a few people did show up to enjoy - the teenagers in our group found this all very amusing! I would also flag that there are a number of mosaic tiles missing from the pool surrounds and floor which resulted in everyone in our party having some small cuts and/or grazes on our feet; and one person with a nasty cut to their toe that needed to be cleaned and glued by a doctor. Additionally the front corner of the property by the gate that lets you access the beach is collapsing as the sand has all disappeared from that side, so it can be a little precarious getting onto the beach. We did not have good communication with the owner.
Even taking these points into consideration, we thoroughly enjoyed the villa and the location and it is a great property for a group holiday.
