Villa Stamatina lived up to the high expectations we had set based on the photos. The location is perfect if you want a quiet place to relax and recharge. Kyra Panagia beach, three minutes by foot, is a beautiful, sheltered beach. The rocks at the ends of the beach are nice for snorkeling.

Although we did use the kitchen for cooking, it is on the small side. The barbecue on the porch or one of the tavernas in Kyra Panagia might be better options. We especially liked Sofia's Taverna next door. There is mini-market across the street for stocking up on basics.

Tina and her husband were very attentive to our needs. We found some kitchen utensils to be missing and these were provided before the end of the day.

We had a fantastic stay and hope to be able to come back to Villa Stamatina some day!
