We had a very enjoyable stay at this beautiful property. We were 4 adults (2couples) and explored the island from there or had a lazy day by the pool. The outdoor kitchen was fantastic and we had breakfast there every morning. The Next taverna is a short drive down the road - lovely family atmosphere and basic but fantastic local food. Definitely recommend. Our host spoilt us with fruit from his garden and much more. Thank you for such a great service. ##### Karin S. Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fabian J. Sep 3, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wundervolle Villa die in Erinnerung bleibt! Wir hatten einen unvergesslichen Urlaub in der wunderschönen und ruhig gelegenen Villa. Die Bilder vermitteln exakt das Angebot welches man vor Ort erwartet, ohne böse Überraschungen. Der Ausblick ist in Wirklichkeit noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Die Bilder sind nicht ganz aktuell, da an der Sitzecke vor der Treppe noch ein Sonnenschutz angebracht wurde. Alles in allem fehlt es im Garten weder an Sonne noch an Schatten. Das Besondere an der Unterkunft ist allerdings nicht nur das Haus an sich, sondern auch der herzliche und sympathische Besitzer trägt dazu bei, dass man sich rundum wohl fühlt. Er kam jeden Morgen, um den Pool zu säubern und die Terrasse zu kehren und bietet dazu alle vier Tage eine Reinigung der Räumlichkeiten an. Wir haben den lieben Besitzer schnell in unser Herz geschlossen und er hat uns tolle Tipps für Strände, frisches Obst und am letzten Tag ein kleines Present aus Raki und selbst gemachtem Olivenöl zum Abschied & als Dank geschenkt. Es ist viel zu schade nicht noch einmal in diese tolle Unterkunft zu kommen und bedanken und von Herzen für diesen unvergesslichen Urlaub mit schönen Erinnerungen bei dem Besitzer Sifis! Bis hoffentlich ganz bald & ganz liebe Grüße von Alexi, Fabian, Anna, Angelina, Philipp & Navina ##### Fabian J.
