Prior to our arrival communication was superb - details of the property, our arrival and any help needed was provided promptly and replies were always within minutes. On arrival we phoned and were met and shown the house, and introduced to the whole family - all of whom speak fluent English (bar the dog for obvious reasons). We were even allowed to arrive early as nobody had booked in before us - which made life a lot easier. The same went for check out - had we not had to be at the airport early then we were told we could stay on as long as we wanted. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. It is beautiful, peaceful and well decorated and appointed. It has a large enclosed shaded garden with an ample veranda with dining area, meaning when we were at home we spent most of our time outside enjoying the surroundings. The property is split across two levels which are not joined internally. There are some steps going down to a room with sofas that convert into beds with a separate bathroom which could sleep two people (perfect for teenagers that wanted their own space). Above this, there is then a short flight of fairly steep steps that go to the veranda and the entrance to the rest of the property which consists of a large sitting room, dining room, kitchen, study area, bathroom and bedroom with vast quantities of storage. Patio doors open from the bedroom onto a separate walled and secluded veranda so that you can sleep with the doors open and you are not overlooked. This also has seating and is shaded by a vine. Beautiful and a good space for drying swimming stuff over night. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you could need to prepare basic food (no food processors or anything fancy but who uses these on holiday anyway?!) and we arrived to a basket of oranges, some biscuits, some orange juice in the fridge and the freezer already stocked with ice cubes (useful given how hot it was). Both Spyros and Maro (his wife) were friendly and helpful, telling us where local shops were, marking on a map (provided) where the best beaches were and what they recommended we see while we were in the area. The whole experience was typically Mediterranean and relaxing, with the property located about a 2 minute short walk from the beautiful, clean, sandy beach and immaculate and sparkly azure blue sea. It is worth noting here, that the area is perfect for young families. The beach is soft and white sand, the sea shelves very gradually so is safe for young children, and there are a number of very good Tavernas (also very child friendly) a moments walk from the beach. There is parking galore so one needn't worry about finding a space and the local shops, which are a short walk up the main road from the beach, provide...
