Pictures & words do not do this property justice.
The location, quality of property, pool & basically everything are phenomenal. The best thing though is the villa hosts who were so kind & welcoming. We could not recommend highly enough.
Muita paz, tranquilidade. Anfitriã super amável. Anna e Nikos sempre atenciosos e disponíveis. Casa excelente, decorada com muito bom gosto. Tudo novo. Região próxima de tudo, mas ainda assim envolta em sossego
