Dimitris's Seafront villa is a delight for the senses! We had an exceptional four night stay. Everything was perfect; Dimitris and the village were welcoming; we only wish that we could have stayed longer.

The photos and descriptions are accurate, although I believe are understating the beauty of the villa and location.

The villa has two separate houses each two stories tall joined by a covered outdoor eating area. Each house has two bedrooms, two baths, a fully equipped kitchen, a living and dining area, and laundry area. As we were traveling two weeks by the time we stayed there, it was really nice to be able to do laundry. All bedrooms and living spaces have french doors opening up to gorgeous terraces with unrestricted views of and breezes from the sea. We only needed to use one of the kitchens and rarely used the indoor living spaces as the terraces were inviting. The decor is subtly elegant and fresh, complementing the natural environment. The outdoor spaces have an amble choice of chairs, cushioned benches, recliners, and tables. The villa is right on the edge of charming Nausaua, a 5 minute walk to the main square via bougainvillea covered pathways with sleepy cats and white washed houses adorned with blue shutters and an occasional alley peeking at sea.

I went there with my husband and two young adult sons. We ate breakfasts at the house and all dinners in the village. There are several markets with all that you need within a few minutes walk. There is swimming right in front of the house where the boys and my husband swam however I swam at the sandy beaches, the closest a 5 minute walk away.

Communication with Dimitris was speedy. He arranged for a driver from the airport and his gracious mother met us at the house with a warm welcome and much appreciated snacks and delightful conversation. She provided complete house directions including Wifi and laundry. She left us to our own discoveries and was not intrusive. She provided her cell phone number if we needed anything. She also met us on departure and again left so we could finish packing and enjoying one last swim.

We rented a car the final day to explore the island. Highly recommended are the swimming coves close by at Santa Marie.
