Just come back from a beautiful stay at Villa Caneva.
Located in a rural setting in the lovely Greek village of Prines. This Villa has all you would need for a family stay.
My family consists of my husband and I and our two teenage children and a young toddler 3 years of age, all of us were more than happy here on holiday. The Villa caters well for young children as there are stair gates on the verandas, by the pool to separate the area and also on top of the stairs.
We were provided with a very clean and modern cot and high chair for our toddler to make this stay easier for us which we really appreciated.
The decoration in the Villa is rustic, traditional and charming with nice thought out touches such as mosquito blinds on all the windows and doors to bedrooms, embroidered sheets and towels, books to peruse left by other guests, puzzles and chess games and even all the little necessities to get you started eg. Dish washer tablets, washing powder and liquids, bin bags, cling film, oils, salt & pepper, utensils and crockery etc. All of which I found very helpful.
This villa is true to the pictures and better when seen.
We also were welcomed with a hamper of wine, biscuits and breadsticks which were also very tasty.
The owner had provided an outside speaker which made my teenagers very happy by the poolside, along with the edition of a smart TV with Netflix, Prime etc for when they were relaxing at night time in the lounge.
The garden is well kept and the pool of course was lovely.
The village of Prines in which the villa is located is a very welcoming one about a 10 mins walk on foot, although kindly, the owner has provided a couple of bikes if you would like to ride down to it.
We tried both tavernas which were very nice, Giannikos being our favourite, the food is traditional and very well done and the owner is a very accommodating and cheerful chap. We used the village shop for a few essentials, everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful.
I feel if your looking for a peaceful villa in this area full of Greek character, with the sounds of chickens and goats bells tinkling in the background and are the type that wants to put your bags down and get on with relaxing then this is the place for you.
Communication with the owner Mrs Eleni, Kostas and the Etouri team is prompt, courteous and helpful. We would have no hesitation in using this villa and their recommendations if in the area again in the future.
