The perfect getaway
This gorgeous villa has a veranda and pool that overlooks a beautiful, olive-tree-planted valley with a sea view. In the morning there are birds singing, in the afternoon, cicadas and the tinkle of sheep bells. Everything was perfect: the setting, the beautifully-decorated house, and George is the most kind, thoughtful, and accommodating host. We were four ladies celebrating our birthdays, staying for just a few days with our kids of various ages, and everything was absolutely delightful. Perfect for kids and families or larger groups. All I can say is our stay was too brief. Next time, we'll stay for two weeks! Thank you George!

Toller Urlaub!
Das Haus ist sehr schön. Und wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Die Kommunikation mit George war sehr gut und es gab unsererseits keine Beanstandung. Wir würden immer wieder hier buchen!
