Expect a warm and friendly welcome (with complete first-day food and drinks kit plus delicious freshly made feta pies) and a kind first-class support during your stay by the owner and her family, always ready to give good inside tips. The villa (ideal for a couple with or without max two kids) is nice and comfy with all the frills you need for a couple of weeks, fast and reliable WiFi, the pool is lovely, and its surroundings (an ample ensemble of 4 villa in total) are simply beautiful and tastefully landscaped. The mountain view and Aegean panorama are overwhelming. Expect interesting wildlife (except bugs and insects) with e.g. circling vultures over the near breathtaking gorges, soothing sounds of bleating lambs (or far-away chain saw works), occasional visits of sweet kittens etc. A choice of minimarkets and big supermarkets (Lidl, Basilopoulos), ATMs, gas station and nice restaurants (check out "Tavera Katerina" and "Taverna Thavma", both near Maroulas, with excellent authentic kitchen and super seaview sunsets) all within a ten-minute drive. A car is absolutely required. We strongly recommend and would gladly come back again (maybe in low season, the heat in August was impressive). Thanks to everybody at Belvedere Villas!
