I stayed here with my boyfriend, his brother and our two little girls. The villa itself is so beautiful, really lovely layout with the surprise of the indoor pool/large jacuzzi downstairs, beautiful cabana, separate eating area, gorgeous pool and breathtaking views of the mountains. It lies on the edge of a small and lovely village which has great restaurants, a shop and is very authentic and local. I understand it to be typical but it was still quite tricky seeing the way the animals that surrounded the villa on farmland were kept...that was an uncomfortable factor for us but the girls took great joy in feeding the donkey daily, who they called ‘Hero’.
There were two stray cats who were incredibly persistent in coming into the villa, which became tedious and there were a lot of mosquitos!! But the team were brilliant and communicating, incredibly helpful and gave good local tips. The villa worked really well for our family and was safe, something I’d worried about with a pool and small children. The coastal town of Kalyves nearby was brilliant and we ventured there most days.
We did a great day trip to falsannara beach which was an hour away but totally worth it, heaven on Earth in the form of a beach! Make sure to get a car, and loads of mosquito replant!
