Aug 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic stay at Agathes We were a group of 15 (7 adults, 8 kids between 6 - 12yrs) and stayed across the 4 residences that make up Agathes residence. We really enjoyed the houses, the pool, location - everything worked really well for us. Bedrooms were spacious and clean, good bathrooms (and water pressure) in all properties. Maria's taverna is a 10 min walk up the hill, and Maria makes fantastic home-made food (for both vegetarians & meat lovers). We rented bikes and visited nearby towns, and the lake and beach are within a 10 mins drive (we tended to go to the beaches to the west of Giorgopolis, which is a nice small town). A car is needed if you stay in Kastellos, but everything you need (supermarkets, bakeries etc) are within 10 mins drive. In summary we really loved the house, the pool, location - everything! ##### Simon M.

Jun 5, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Super feriebolig med plads til mange Fantastisk feriebolig, hvor vi blev taget godt imod og blev overraskede over, hvor smukt og stort det var. Fire skønne huse huse med masser af soveværelser, køkkener og badeværelser, og em pool centralt placeret. Meget venlige og hjælpsomme værter. Inden ankomst var vi informeret om, at der var en vaskemaskine, men det viste sig ikke at være tilfældet. Der er heller ikke opvaskemaskine, og det kunne have været dejligt at have til så mange mennesker. Men alt i alt en super bolig med skøn beliggenhed og dejlig udsigt! ##### Jette Lis J.

Oct 30, 2017 #### Verblijf in Agathes house in Georgioupolis Kastelos Eenmaal met de hele familie in een perfecte locatie in een warm land was de droomwens. Deze locatie voldeed 100% aan onze verlangens. Een droomlocatie voor een 8-daagse vakantie met 20 personen. Toch altijd wat spannend om van een plaatje te boeken maar zowel het comfort als de verzorging (contact met eigenaar, dagelijkse schoonmaak, tuinverzorging etc.) was perfect. Vier autootjes gehuurd, dat is wel aan te raden. Kortom: aanrader! ##### Wim S.

Sep 30, 2017 #### Wunderschöen gepflegte Wohnanlage Sehr schöne, geschmackvolle und gepflegte Wohnanlage mit wunderschönem Ausblick und einer tollen Außenanlage mit großem Pool. Unterbringung sehr sauber. Für große Gruppen leider kein gemeinsamer Aufenthaltsraum/Gemeinschaftsküche. Lässt sich aber auch anders lösen. Vorherige Absprache mit Besitzer unkompliziert und schnell. ##### Verena L. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2017
