Absolutely perfect in every way! This gorgeous home is hands down the very best property at which our family has ever stayed on holiday. It was truly magical. Athena and Takis are completely brilliant. They made everything so easy. Takis met us at check in and showed us all the details of the house. The kitchen is perfectly stocked from EVOO and balsamic to nespresso pods for coffee. One of our children even had a minor medical emergency, and they took us themselves to the best pediatrician on the island. You can’t ask for more from hosts than that!
The kids loved the snorkeling equipment and being able to run across the street to swim. In front of the house is a lovely snorkeling beach, and on the north side of the house is a golden sandy beach for swimming, snorkeling, sun bathing. There are some lounge chairs (or “sun beds” as they are called there) that charge a small fee to use, and you can order bevies and snacks there as well. Although we did venture out to see other beaches, this one fit the bill in every way, and we could have easily stayed there all day, every day of our stay.
We walked to the shops and cafes just three minutes away, and there is a fabulous supermarket a 8 minute drive away. This made feeding everyone very easy.
The house is absolutely “sparkling clean” and it stays that way thanks to daily housekeeping service. This makes the property feel more like a luxury hotel escape and less like a self-catering villa. The decor made us want to redecorate our own home—the white walls, stone and wood floors, dark wood furniture and white linens make everything feel so fresh and lovely. The air conditioning works a treat for those hot afternoons, and the morning sea breeze makes it really feel like a vacation. We stayed 6 nights and did not want to leave.
Thank you to Takis and Athena! It was worth every penny.
