"10/10 The villa was gorgeous,the pool was amazing and the hosts brilliant!!Can’t recommend this highly enough,the villa is located not far from Fiskardo and with a good number of restaurants locally all of which served good food and with stunning views both of Ithaca and sunsets.It’s in a quiet location,spotlessly clean and with virtually everything you would need provided.Cleaners and pool man come regularly with no issues.A highlight is watching the sunsets whilst sat on the terrace/verandah,not to be missed.Air conditioning is a godsend.Easy access to Assos,Fiskardo and even Sami isn’t that far.Information and directions to the villa provided by the hosts were spot on and easy to follow,All in all i would recommend Spyros Villa to anyone wanting to experience the Northern part of this beautiful island."
