Lia's villa is absolutely beautiful. It is better than the photos. It is spacious and comfortable and clean. Many things look brand new and the villa is well-cared for. Many linens and towels were provided, and with two showers, this villa comfortably suited our family of 6. The kitchen was well-stocked with a cute coffee and espresso station as well. The refrigerator is large and the dishwasher is new and efficient and a much-appreciated convenience for a traveling family.
The view is outstanding - you cannot beat it. We often sat outside in the evening to watch the sunset and enjoy the patio (there are several). The view to the sea is amazing and the sunsets are often spectacular. The nearby Agia Marina resort area is wonderful with many great restaurants and shopping places. We loved Therino family restaurant down the road to the south; on the beach so much and there are also plenty of restaurants within walking distance. There are supermarkets nearby too, with a short walk we were able to find what we needed.
The beach directly down the hill (you can walk) is also very wonderful. The sand is soft, and beach chairs are available too.
The AC was comfortable at night also, as temps in July were high. My kids enjoyed the fast wifi at night too. :)
The very best part was Lia and her family. They greeted us with a personal tour and very warm welcome. Lia showed us how to operate everything inside the house.
They helped us park our van, upon arrival. The villa driveway is a very steep hill -- as all are in the area (provides the best view). The best way to park is to pull forward almost to the front patio, staying as far to the left as possible. Then in the morning, you can back out via Y-turn up the hill, and turn the front end of the car forward to go back down the hill. I appreciated their help so much!
Additionally, if Covid testing is needed to return home, Dr. Vitorakis in Plantanias is a few miles down the road (google his office) and is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. by appointment and provides rapid tests with stamped paperwork for 20 euros; very efficient.
The stay at Lia's villa was absolutely perfect. You won't be disappointed, I highly recommend staying there.
Thank you, Lia!
