Our week-long stay at Villa Kanalia in September 2017 was really over-the-top spectacular. We were a large group of 10.. in town to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. The house was the perfect size for our group, and the perfect set up.
COMMUNICATION
George was a dream to communicate with ahead of time. He replies almost immediately, is super helpful and very good natured. He was happy to connect with me on What'sApp and to provide everything we needed ahead of time - including recommendations, organizing pre-shopping etc.
VIEWS
The views from the house literally cannot be captured in pictures. They were so much better than we thought they would be. Even up to the last day, we were all in awe over the setting.
HOUSE
The house itself is very clean and it terrific condition and also even better than the photos lead you to believe. It's very large and surprisingly private with the set up of the two rooms up top, three in the main house second level, one main house first level, and one down below the pool.
LOCATION
The hills up to the house are a bit daunting at first, but we got used to it and by the end were experts in navigating. The location is slightly far out from Mykonos Town, but we had cars and learned how to make it work (even took a taxi back one night) and leaned heavily on Ornos for shopping, bakery, beaches and a few late nights.
HOUSEKEEPER
Remy - the housekeeper - literally became like our mother for the week and she truly was a major part of why our week was so lovely. Remy was up and made coffee and eggs every am, cleaned the house, shopped, washed sheets, took care of one of my friends when she was sick, and even cooked a whole meal for us - AMAZING meal I might add - on the night of our 10 year celebration. She has the most fantastic, sweet personality and the best giggle you've ever heard. We kept trying to help her and she wouldn't let us. I just hope we didn't take advantage because she took fantastic care of us.
Bottom line, this was a memorable week and a fabulous villa and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to book a vacation of a lifetime. Thank you George (and Remy), for such a wonderful gift to us all.
