Our stay at Villa Idi was simply outstanding. Not only was Manolis a fantastic host and shared useful information before (and after) we arrived, but Mrs Rumy looked after the villa (and us) extremely well.
The villa itself is located in the village of Amari in the beautiful Amari valley, which is an area that we had never visited before. The villa was immaculately clean, extremely comfortable, very well provisioned and we needed nothing more. It is a large villa with plenty of space inside and the most comfortable of beds in the bedrooms. There is onsite parking and a nice pool for relaxing in during the hot weather. It is simply gorgeous.
Manolis took the time to take my wife and I to a local museum and gave us great ideas for places to visit during our stay, most of which we did visit, although we also had ‘home-days’ where we just relaxed at the pool and enjoyed the breath taking views of Mount Psiloritis (aka Mt Ida or Mt Idi).
For provisions, the supermarket is a 5 – 10 minute (easy) drive away, however we did not use it too much as we enjoyed the delicious delights of Mrs Rumy’s cooking. Additionally, we arrived to a welcome basket of fresh fruit, honey, bread, nuts, local red wine and raki (to name a few items) – all of which were very much appreciated and then devoured.
Our stay at Villa Idi was outstanding due to the great hosting by Manolis and Mrs Rumy, and also because the villa and location are both amazing. We simply fell in love with the Amari valley and are very much looking forward to our return to Villa Idi. Yia sas.
