We spent two weeks at Jims place with 5 people (2 adults/3 kids) and had a wonderful time!
The place is really nice and has an awesome view! One thing that stood out was the perfectly equipped kitchen (lots of pots & pans and appliances), really everything you need. Also there was cold watermelon and water and homemade marmelade waiting for us at arrival.
Another remarkable thing is the hospitality of Jims mom (who lives in the house below). Almost everyday she came by to bring us fresh made cake or other small yummy treats. We loved all of it! The layout of the house is very nice, large open space. The small "kids" rooms are also very nice, but were quite hot under the roof, but of course this is seasonal issue (we were here in July). Totally manageable with the aircondition and fans.
There is a path down to the water which takes 5mins so not necessary to take the "longer" route on the road. Quite steep in places though, so might be tricky to navigate if you have mobility issues. Beach of Ligaria is also fantastic, very calm and family friendly and not as busy as the bigger Agia Pelagia beach on the other side. Fantastic to snorkle for both adults and kids. Great food choices along the waters edge (Can recommend Sirocco and Liber, and also the Palolio Cafe for very good fries and burgers) All very affordable. A huge meal for 5 including starters and drinks will cost you about 70 EUR or so). Also at the end you always get a little sweet treat and liqor on the house so make sure you leave some room for this when you are eating! ;).
Again, we had the most wonderful time and Jim was fantastic in his support throughout the whole trip. We can highly recommend this house and the location.
Thank you for everything!
