We went as a party of seven to Villa Patriko in October for 4 days. It is a gem of a house, ideally located at the fringe of the very pretty Kaliviani village and set in a groomed Mediterranean garden with its typical plants, flowers and natural rocks. The house is perfectly sized and outstandingly appointed – very authentic greek, from the exterior architecture, natural stones, to wood- and stonework throughout inside. You can see and feel the effort and love that has gone into every detail, making the villa a great and comfortable experience. Nice vintage furniture and objects, comfy sofas, a huge terrace and a wonderful kids-friendly pool complete the picture. The views are spectacular, grazing sheep behind the house on the hills, the sea, the village church... While its hard to leave the house at all you only walk 40 meters around the corner to inviting taverna tables under huge trees. Simply gorgeous.
Villa Patriko is a perfect location to stay if you come with friends and kids like we did, to go to Balos and Falassarna beaches and to roam nearby mountain villages in search for Hellenistic stone caves..
Owner Nantia and her husband Kostas are super nice people and very responsive to your needs and giving advice. We stayed only 4 nights because the house was fully booked, we will definitely come back to try the outdoor BBQ and pizza oven as well :-)
