Fantastic. Cannot recommend this villa highly enough

We were a family of 6 with grandparents and young children and we stayed for 8 nights. The villa was clean and spacious. We loved the seaview and enjoyed star-gazing at night. There was housekeeping every couple of days. Most places were only a short drive away. The absolute best thing about the stay was the host Neela. She clearly works hard to look after her guests. I found her a breath of fresh air if like me you've had experience of hosts that were either inattentive and absent or overly-eager to please and bordering on intrusive. Neela on the other hand was friendly, thoughtful and came across as genuine; she was lovely with the children and I miss our little chats. Neela is also a professional chef. Home-cooked breakfasts on the terrace with sea views was a delight - the food was different everyday and all freshly prepared. We looked forward to it every day. We also ordered family-size dinner dishes from Neela (that she prepared for us in advance and we reheated) - delicious. Previous reviews mentioned noise from the road - it didn't bother us but we visited in October i.e., not the high season. We would have liked a washing machine but Neela did the laundry for us at a reasonable charge so it wasn't a deal breaker. All in all we had a wonderful stay - Neela made our holiday special. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you very much for looking after us Neela. Our children would like to say hi to your cat Bruno. Love from us all to you. Best wishes.

Excellent accommodations

Stayed at the villa for four nights and was very impressed! The villa was beautiful and it had spectacular views of water! The host’s Anastasia and Neela were excellent. They always responded quickly to any questions we had. Neela provided the most delicious breakfast every morning and even gave us a breakfast sandwich for our early flight home! We loved our stay and hope to go back again!
