Incredible host, really went above and beyond to help me and my travel plans. Great touches like water and fresh fruit and treats on arrival. You definitely need a car, while old town and faliraki are short drives way, they’re really not walking distance.
The apartment is great, but it is an apartment not really a villa. The photos are quite deceiving as it looks like you’re opposite the other villa but your living space is attached to the same house, their bedroom window looks into your backyard. There are fences so you can’t see into each other’s swimming pool areas but this was a shock to me as I was expecting complete separation so just something to be aware of. There are also several dogs in the area that bark constantly, which was truly frustrating but you kind of drown it out after a while. These aren’t really complaints, just wish I had known these before I booked.
The garden is truly gorgeous and the swimming pool is great. The beds are comfy and there are cooking utensils and the shower pressure is good. Loved having air con as even in October it still got quite warm at night. Didn’t find the couch very comfy though.
But Ourina’s hospitality really was above and beyond so I would definitely recommend this place.
