Villa Irene at Livadia is an exceptionally lovely house overlooking the sea with fabulous sunsets. Everything was clean and seemed new; and the swimming pool was heated (good for when we were there in late May). It was so comfortable and beautiful, it was hard to leave to explore during the day! The local taverna was excellent, and Yanni and his family were wonderful hosts who really catered to us. We would love to come back again some day—Villa Irene is definitely a keeper!
The only issues we had were getting set up on wi-fi—be sure you have that established before Maria leaves— and figuring out how the washing machine worked. We didn’t have wi-fi the entire time we were there—but on the first of the month it came back strong so we wondered if there were monthly data limits that had been reached just after we arrived. The signage about that on the wall was a bit unclear to us coming from the US where things might work differently. Just ask for more information about the wi-fi.
But this is a place we totally enjoyed and would love to return to—hard to beat the house itself as well as the views. Pretty close to Paradise!!!
