Modern, comfortable villa with fantastic views over the Libyan Sea and Plakias - very helpful staff
Ideal villa for 2-4 people, in a cluster of three. Very private (apart from Yannis and others popping round to clean the pool). Well-maintained and kept clean through daily housekeeping. Fives minutes drive down a steep hill from Plakias, which offers numerous restaurants and shops and supermarkets. Photos on the website don't do the villa or pool justice as both are much larger in reality.
Would not recommend arriving in the dark as the last 500-meter-drive up to the villa is bumpy and off-road. Parking is limited so try to rent a small car. The unsprung beds were a little hard for our liking but overall the villa offered everything we needed for a relaxing and scenic holiday.
Whilst at times rather windy, on hot days this provided welcome cooling.
We had a super stay and would love to come back next year.

Attractive villa,clean,super views- spoiled by poor response to problems and dirty pool.
Positives- property spacious and overlooked magnificent coastal scenery, reached by unpaved track along steep hillside. Car required. Plakias and Sellia in easy reach.
Negatives- pool remained murky and green fringed. Robot cleaner stirring up dirt rather than removing it. When the roof leaked and villa suffered water ingress, a clear offer of appropriate alternative accommodation was not received until many hours later.
However it is beautiful so go now before they develop the area further and go early in the season for a cleaner pool.

Very Good Stay
Enjoyed the whole stay view is amazing, only down points was that the pool light was broken and still after reporting it was not fixed. Second would be the kitchen, all clean but very used.

Atemberaubender Ausblick
Der Ausblick war atemberaubend und das Haus für vier Personen völlig ausreichend. Einzig die Kochutensilien könnten zahlreicher sein. Das Reinigungspersonal war sehr freundlich und diskret. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Wunderbarer Ausblick
Die Terrasse mit dem kleinen Pool, Liegen und dem überdachten Esstisch waren wunderbar, wir konnten uns gar nicht vom Ausblick lösen. Die Inneneinrichtung ist zweckmäßig, die Ausstattung der Küche wäre noch steigerungsfähig. Matratzen waren sehr gut. Einmal in der Woche gab es ein Reinigungsservice und Wäschwechsel. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag: Strom wird wie bei einem Hotelzimmer mit einer Karte aktiviert, das bedeutet dass beim Verlassen des Hauses Geschirrspüler oder Waschmaschine nicht weiter arbeiten - dies wäre sicher anders lösbar. Die Zufahrtsstraße ist auf dem letzten Stück ein Schotterweg, Entfernung nach Plakias mit dem Auto unter 8 Min. Alles in allem ein wunderschöner Urlaub, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Fantastic place
Wunderbares Haus, tolle Lage. Sehr netter Verwalter und Team. Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub (14 Tage) und haben es sehr genossen. Auto ist ein MUSS ! Die grosszügige Terasse, der schöne Pool (täglich gereinigt) und die Aussenküche mit BBQ waren unsere Lieblingsplätze :-)
