Staying at Amari Villas Idi is a truly unique experience.
In early April, the mountain that you wake up to every morning, opposite the house, is still capped with snow; down in the valley it's Spring - and each day has 4 seasons in terms of temperature. So bring clothing layers! You can be lying on a beach at lunchtime, yet glad of Villa Idi's effective heating by evening.
April is a great time for exploring: the Amari valley is a delight, the walks and trips Manolis suggests are a great programme for a week here - with Google map downloads for each. Across the week - we only saw two other tourists in the valley.
The Villa is just as described, beautifully furnished and equipped - and the master bedroom has windows on 3 sides - with views across the whole valley.
Manolis and Mrs Rumy are amazing hosts, Manolis greeted us on arrival, and visited us during our stay. Mrs Rumy has an apartment in the property, so is on hand for any questions and her cooking is very special. We pre-ordered dinner on the first night - and were so impressed, we ordered 3 more dinners across the week - local dishes, cooked to perfection. Thank you Manolis and Rumy - we hope to return!
