The house was very pleasant and we had a great time with the 5 of us. The kitchen could have a bit more equipment but the outside was gorgeous.

Wunderschöne Villa in den Bergen und zugleich strandnah
Sehr schönes Haus, gepflegt und top eingerichtet, mit Flair und Charme und eindrucksvollem Blick in die Berge. Sehr aufmerksamer und super netter Vermieter, unaufdringlich und sehr gastfreundlich. Vielen Dank Sifis, wir haben uns sehr wohl bei dir gefühlt. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt und wir können diese Villa uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Accueil superbe de la part de Syphis. Contact adorable,
emplacement super , tout a été parfait. merci encore pour ce bel accueil. Nous reviendrons, c'est sûr.
Wat hebben wij een heerlijke vakantie gehad met ons gezin bestaande uit ouders, dochters en echtgenoten. Alles tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Sifis kwam iedere dag vroeg in de ochtend even langs voor het zwembad en andere werkzaamheden. Wat een aardige man die het graag iedereen naar de zin wil maken. Schoonmaak en verschoning ook prima in orde. Tussendoor en bij het weggaan verwend met attenties uit de streek. Complimenten!!
What a fantastic property and great host. 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.
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

Perfect Stay to relax
We had perfect 14 days, far away from crowded spots! It was wonderful to listen to the birds, sheeps and just the nature. The host was unbelievable friendly, fresh fruits from the garden everyday! It was fantastic and we will come back!

Great holidays at River view
We had a wonderful holiday at the villa and we thank the owner for his availability, his kindness and his gifts!
Showers could be improved by installing shower curtains and the toilet seats are not strong enough.
