Villa Artemi was even better than the photos - stylish and very comfortable. We were four adults and there was plenty of space. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you could want, and unusually in our experience there was loads of wardrobe space and plenty of wooden hangers. Filippos met us in Plakias and guided us to the villa - he was very friendly and welcoming, and came first thing every morning to clean the pool and water the garden so was available for any questions - his recommendations of where to eat were great! We stayed for 9 days and midway through our stay the villa was cleaned and sheets and towels changed.
The villa was spotlessly clean and all remote controls were bagged in plastic, so no worries about Covid-19.
Wifi was great.
The villa is in a quiet road but only about 5 minutes' walk from the beach, supermarkets and tavernas. It's totally separate and private from Villa Alkisti, with a shared large grassy space.
Plakias itself is a lovely little town, probably quieter than usual this year, and everyone in the shops and tavernas was mindful of masks and social distancing. That said, it was easy to forget the stresses of Covid and relax!
The beach is very long and clean - more pebbly at the western end, nearer the villa and sandy as you stroll towards the other end (right at the eastern end the beach is nudist). There's another smaller beach near the villa, the other side of the little marina, and plenty of other beaches within a few minutes' drive. The sea is clear and warm and good for snorkelling. On our last full day it was very windy, too windy for the beach, but it was no hardship to spend the day chilling at the villa!
We would totally recommend this wonderful villa and can't wait to return!
