We stayed for four nights with our three year old son and it was a pleasure. We had a car which made things easy, not sure how it would work without one.
The villa is down some steps so may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues.
Living area, balcony and kitchen as you walk in and then are three bedrooms and bathroom downstairs, along with access to the lovely pool. The mountains do mean that it’s not as hot as down by the coast and can get cloudy, which meant the pool was a bit nippy for my son. Apart from that, amazing views across the lake and to the coast.
Only 5-10mins drive into Georgioupoli, where there’s ample supermarkets and restaurants etc.
The lake can be a bit touristy but the location of Eleftheria’s villa means that it’s easy to walk down early in the morning and enjoy it before the hoards arrive. Even then, it wasn’t ever really busy. I enjoyed kayaking there early in the morning being the only one there, and it’s only a 5-10minute walk down. Bit longer and hotter up! Took some beers and wine, some food and enjoyed a lazy hour or two floating around in the lake.
Eleftheria was so accommodating and organised a cake and decorations for my sons birthday when we arrived, which was a lovely touch!
The villa has all the things you’d need for your stay.
Taverna (run by Eleftheria’s cousins) literally at the entrance of the villa which is convenient and also three other tavernas within walking distance overlooking the lake. Bring a torch if you’re going to be walking to them. Just to feel a bit safer as you’ll be walking on the road.
It’s a really peaceful location, out of the way enough to feel rural and to relax alone but within easy reach of everything you need. And with a lake on your doorstep to enjoy!
Would love to stay again!
Thanks Eleftheria
