Villa Aspa is beautifully located with stunning views down to the coast and up into the mountains. We loved the peace and quiet, the views and sounds of nature. Lazing around pool in the afternoon sun was our favourite part of the holiday. It’s impossible not to relax.
The Villa is done to a high standard. It’s got lots of interesting trinkets and art, and feels like a home. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms upstairs are very comfortable and spacious. Nikos was really helpful - providing top tips about good beaches, places to eat and places to shop etc.
It’s a 15 minute drive to the nearest town, which wasn’t touristy at all, and had a good selection of supermarkets, bakery, butchers etc. Margarites is a lovely small town, with a great Taverna, and some lovely pottery shops. The closest beaches were 20 mins away and great for visiting with our toddler.
I felt it was a little overpriced for late Sept at £200 a night inc fees, especially as the only bathroom is rather basic, with a badly designed drain that smelled a bit. The downstairs bedroom is also quite small with a small double bed and no air con but it was fine for our 14 month old. It’s fairly high up and a few degrees cooler than the coast, which would be welcome in peak season though we had to drive to the south of the island to find the sun on a couple of days. I wouldn’t advise staying with adventurous young children of walking age to 2-3 years, as the stairs are open and could be very dangerous, as is the balcony with huge gaps. We had to keep a close eye on our toddler!
Overall we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay there. I’d certainly recommend it, but thought it was fair to point out the (relatively minor) issues.
