Warm hosts, a must visit house, value for money
The house is really big and spacious. The family was very attentive and helpful. We chose this house even though it was new on this site and there were no reviews available. It was an excellent choice and we would highly recommend it. Excellent location, beautiful place and very comfortable rooms. The location is excellent as there is a beach nearby (which is 10min on foot) and we could go for drinks at night without taking the car. There is also a parking space and the garden is huge-ideal for children or/and pets. It is located close to the airport. There are also restaurants and taverns on a five minute drive from the place. Very clean house, comfy beds/pillows and there is also a fireplace! Owners are very helpful and willing to provide us with anything we wanted with full attention on us during all our stay. Fresh fruits and something to drink awaited us from Rigissa's family, which was great - such a nice touch after long tiring journey! Even though the family did not stay with us, they gave us excellent recommendations about beaches, taverns, coffee-shops and ice-cream shops. I highly recommend you to visit this lovely place.

Helpful hosts and exactly what we were looking for in a property
We traveled to Greece to meet our daughter and her family, including a 6-year-old and 18-month-old twins. We wanted something without stairs and, if possible, a garden in an area that was not on a busy street. This house met those requirements. The host, Rigissa, was incredibly helpful. I sent her a boatload of questions, which she patiently and promptly answered and gave us all the necessary information. They put two camping cots into the home and bought a second high chair for us to use. This was huge for us! Rigissa was available by phone when we landed, and her dad had stocked the house with food he thought we and the kids would enjoy (from yogurt to coffee, milk, honey, and cookies). This really helped after a long journey, The house is an easy walk to several beaches. There is a small store nearby and a larger one not too far away. We did not rent a car and ordered taxis for days when we went out. Porto Rafti is well located, and we enjoyed the fact that it is not too touristy. That keeps the prices of things cheaper. For example, a bottle of water at the beach cost 50c, while the same bottle in Athens was closer to $2.00. The house had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed our stay. If the opportunity arose, we would definitely stay here again. This host family is undoubtedly one of the best we have ever stayed with.

Cozy and spacious house, with walking distance to the beach. Owners were welcoming and gave us tips and a convenient list of the best delivery services available (even coffee!) Easily fits 8 people in three large bedrooms.

Short visit
We enjoyed our stay very much. Our host was great. There was some information barrier, as we don't speak any Greek, but that's our problem, not theirs. We very much appreciated the fact that the host was so nice and worked very hard to communicate with us. The house was great; neat and clean. The two bathrooms really helped. We have no complaints; only gratefulness for the host and the splendidness of her house. This was our first trip to Greece, and we left wanting to return.

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood near the water
This home was very large and can accomodate many. Our favorite feature was the sliding doors that opened allowing the home to feel outdoors. Just lovely. The hosts were exceptional and kind.

We were looking for something for 6 close to the airport and Rigissa's place was perfect.
Just 20 minutes from the airport, this house was the perfect place for our group for the night. Rigissa and her family were very welcoming and helpful, even the though we were there just for one night.

Sehr freundlich, sauber und großräumig
Wir hatten leider nur eine Übernachtung in Porto Rafti. Zu kurz für eine wirklich Bewertung. Allerdings bleibt festzuhalten. Sehr freundlich von der Mutter der Eigentümerin (Regissa) empfangen worden. Regissa selbst war auf Auslandsreise, trat aber per Telefon mit uns in Verbindung. Schnelle Antworten per Mail. Das Haus ist großzügig eingerichtet. Für 2 Paare + 1 Kind kein Problem. Schöner Garten, große Terasse. Da wir bereits morgens um 5.00 Uhr los mußten, stand für alle (5 Pers,) ausreichen Bot sowie Kaffee und Tee bereit. Wer ein paar Tage in Porto Rafti verbringen möchte, ist bei Regissa gut aufgehoben.

Stay in Porto Rafti
Great stay in Porto Rafti. The house had everything we needed and we were easily able to walk to the beach and restaurants. The water was very beautiful for swimming- clear, warm and clean! Rigissa was so kind and provided us with everything we needed, plus more!

Superschoener Aufenthalt, tolle Menschen.
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt bei Rigissa. Sie ist eine phantastische Gastgeberin und sehr zuvorkommend. Die Verstaendigung auf Englisch war einwandfrei. Das Haus ist komplett ausgestattet sodass der Aufenthalt als sehr komfortabel bezeichnet werden kann. In der Nachbarschaft kann man relativ einfach ein Appartment mieten. Ein freistehendes Haus mit Garten war nirgends verfuegbar. Wie wollten ein freistehendes Haus mit Garten da wir unsere 2 Kinder und Hund komfortabel unterbringen wollten. Alles supersauber! Das Wi-Fi Signal war intensiv und stabil, phantastisches Bett, schoene Kueche, zauberhafter Garten. Die Klimaanlage ist nagelneu und funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Kinder hatten jede Menge Platz um im Garten Fussball zu spielen und mit dem Hund herumzutollen. Avlaki-Beach ein organisierter Sandstrand, ideal fuer Kinder, liegt ca. 3-5 Autominuten entfernt. Der Standort war fuer uns perfekt, keinerlei Laerm und sichere im Gruenen liegende Umgebung. In 10 Fussminuten erreicht man das Meer und diverse Supermaerkte als auch kleinere Laeden mit frischem Fisch durch lokale Fischer angeboten, frische Fruechte, Gemuese, lokale Winzer und verschiedene Cafeterien. Nur 5 Autominuten entfernt liegt der malerische Hafen von Porto-Rafti. Idyllisch gelegen zum schlendern und schlemmen in den hiesigen Tavernen. Alles in allem eine Super-Erfahrung, wuerden jederzeit wieder hinfahren.

Perfect Stay!
We had a wonderful time in Porto Rafti and we would recommend this house to anybody! The house is fully equipped and located very close to the beach, super market, restaurants and the centre of the town. We were all our family, 3 generations. We loved the house and the garden-it is very peaceful and relaxing to eat your breakfast there. It was ideal for our kids (9 and 5 years old) but also for our mother (73 years old). The kids were playing for hours in the garden (football, with the swings and they riding the bicycles). We will miss it! The house was very clean and comfortable with a lot of space. We did not meet Rigissa, but we met her parents. They were very polite, they made us feel like home, and they were willing to provide us with any kind of help. It was a lovely stay!
