Kalliroi - Exquisite Villa Designed Exclusively For Two with Large Private Pool.

10/10 Excellent
"Kalliroi Villa is truly something special as many previous guests have detailed. It’s set within a mountain valley giving both privacy and wonderful views from the rear of the property and the stunning pool area. The entire site is surrounded by beautiful garden borders on all sides and house itself has so much charm and character, perfect for a romantic getaway. Excellent location for days out to Assos, Myrtle Beach, Fiskardo and Sami. Several local tavernas and supermarkets on hand nearby. We booked the first two weeks in October which is the end of the summer season. The weather was ideal for us with fresh breezes ( no need to have the air conditioning on) and comfortable temps around 25 to 27 degrees most days. Cooler of course in the evenings but not cold. We enjoyed several evening meals out on the upper terrace, overlooking the pool and garden which are magical when lit up at night. Our host, Dionysia and housekeeper Penny couldn’t have been more helpful to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. If the villa is available you should book."
