Villa Life is a family-run business with the lovely Eleni, her equally charming brother – Adonis and her mum who I did not get to speak to.

The Villa was built about 8 years ago and as the photos show the exterior walls are a creamy white, with little bits of pale green colouring and medium green pillars. The interior was mainly white with a bit of blue and grey colouring. Overall the colouring along with the architecture was stunningly beautiful.

The apartment was spacious, clean and it had everything I needed. The design of the building was very clever as it enabled everybody to have a private balcony and I really enjoyed sitting outside overlooking the pool and the sea in the distance which is about a kilometre away. There was a busy highway 100 metres away but that did not bother me too much due to the landscaping.

I was travelling solo and without a car. The walk down to the marina through the little village between Agii Marina and the apartment was lovely and it had a really homely feel to it. The village had a little supermarket where the fruit was given to me on-the-house. The locals know how to charm, but isn’t that nice.

When it comes to restaurants I am really fussy in that I like good quality straightforward home cooking. The first night I discovered http://www.taverna-horiatiko.gr/about-us/ which was 8-10 minutes walk from the apartment towards Agii Marina, again it is a family ran business. I ended up going there every evening [5 nights], why go anywhere else when you have perfect food and a diverse menu. Ask for Stelios, he and his team will look after you very well.
