Of all the places we've stayed with AirBnB this is far and away the best home and experience we've ever had.
The villa is even more impressive in real life than it is in the photos. It is a design marvel but it is still very human in scale, exquisitely furnished and has an instant livable charm about it.
The housekeeper, Savvas, may be one of the loveliest Greeks walking this earth. He is a fountain of knowledge, generous with his time and advice and even drove us to a local restaurant late on the night of our arrival. He spoke to the owner on our behalf and we had such a wonderful meal there that we returned two nights later.
The owner, Marietta, could not have done more to make us feel welcome. Her generosity of spirit is matched only by her taste and style. She has created an extraordinary oasis just minutes from the beach and my family are dreaming of coming back every year to this fabulous villa.
To be clear: my family and I have no connection to either Marietta or Savvas.
