" The location is great, a little further out from town, but has a supermarket and beach just a few minute drive down the hill. The outside area is fab, and the pool is lovely and warm from the sun shining on it all day, it was also cleaned every other day which was a bonus."

le logement est idéalement situé et permet de visiter le nord ouest et aussi la côte sud. La villa est confortable et correspond à la description. Emmanuel et Yannis sont très réactifs et nous ont donné beaucoup d'informations touristiques.

Yannis, Emmanuel and team were very welcoming. They provided lovely fruit, juice and cakes on arrival and the house was well equipped. The pool was lovely and the kids had fun. We were very comfortable in the house. Yannis, Emmanuel and team kept in touch throughout our stay and were very responsive to our questions. Great recommendations for local restaurants too. Another we would like to add is Taverna Eleven down by the sea. Lovely food watching the beautiful sunset. Great stay, would recommend!
