We had the most amazing time at Villa Hestia and on the island of Kea in general - the only thing we could possibly change would be to stay a lot longer! We were on our way to another island so only had two nights so it was very hard to leave!
George, Isabelle and Cleo were the most incredibly friendly hosts, George came to meet us at the port so we could follow him back in our hire car (the car company had over an hour delay so George drove us back to the villa to unload our bags, settle
in and join his family for a drink and some delicious homemade tart (thanks Isabelle) on their veranda with the most spectacular views across kea and out to sea. George then drove us back down to the port so we could collect the car later, they really could not have been more helpful and welcoming.
The pool (by the very spacious veranda) has breathtaking views and was a great place to relax. The studio is very comfortable, thoughtfully designed and has everything you need to totally unwind.
The location is very remote with barely any neighbours and no noise other than the chorus of crickets which suited us perfectly (you would definitely need a car unless you want to stay entirely at the villa). It's about 15/20 mins drive to the port and about 25/30 mins to the capital, Ioulida which is a really pretty traditional town, inland on a hill.
George and Isabelle have some great suggestions for beaches and sight seeing depending on what you are looking for and George recommended and booked a restaurant for us for one of the nights which was lovely.
We would definitely go back another time and cannot recommend it enough! Thanks George and family for starting our Greek holiday off with such a lovely welcome and beautiful, peaceful home.
