We had a wonderful stay at Villa Smaro. The villa has a pretty garden and lovely terraces where we enjoyed the October sunshine and views of the blue blue sea, and swims in the pool. Our son enjoyed being a bit independent in the separate room on the terrace. Nikos and Smaro were there to welcome us on arrival, and their warmth and generosity made us feel so at home from the start. They gave us home-produced wine and olive oil and provided us with a fridge full of food when we arrived. All our contact with them and their family has been full of kindness. Beautiful Loutraki beach and a taverna are just 5 minutes walk away and the bigger Marathi beach with more restaurants is also within walking distance. The nearest shop is about 3km away however so you'd be stuck without a car. And we did get used to the overhead jets! We had a perfectly lovely late season holiday at Villa Smaro.
