A charming villa in stunning mountain scenery. Vasiliki is an attentive and extremely thoughtful host, providing a very generous welcome 'hamper' of treats, and she and her husband were on hand immediately whenever we needed anything during our stay.
The house is very comfortable with everything you need, including a lovely pool, bbq, covered outdoor seating area and fully equipped kitchen. The garden is pretty with lemon, pomegranate and walnut trees, plus fresh herbs to cook with. At night, the pool and garden are lit up which made for atmospheric evenings. Sadly the weather did not play ball for us, but even so we had some lovely swims, day trips to various places, helpfully recommended by our host - the highlight for us was Stavros Beach and the amazing Almyriki taverna - and a memorable hike in Diktamos gorge.
The house is in a remote village in the mountains, which has a little shop/cafe you can walk to but not much else. This suited us fine but be aware, this is not the place to stay if you like to be in the middle of the action. You need a car to get anywhere else and the roads are dramatic and vertiginous! There is a roadside stall in the neighbouring village selling local cheese, honey, and vegetables which we highly recommend.
Thank you, Vasiliki, for a relaxing week in your lovely house.
