Gorgeous hill-top villa
Submitted: August 9, 2011

A very comfortable modern villa on top of a hill with amazing views north to the sea, south to the White Mountains and olive groves all around. Not overlooked by any other property and a very good location away from the beach, yet within easy striking distance of Platanias and a good base for trips away. Wonderful pool and good facilities, although we couldn't find the promised CD collection and the lawn has been replaced by flowers; at least some lawn might be nice. Some 250 DVDs to choose from for siesta time, albeit most of them never went to the big screen and are of fairly mediocre quality. The cicadas were deafening to start with and quite early risers, but you get used to them. Good aircon and large airy central room, with a kitchen table for 10 (12 would be a squeeze). Basement studio (sleeps 2 + sofa bed) is quiet but the drainage wasn't great as it became quite smelly towards the end of the day; however, you wouldn't notice it if you didn't use it. Master bedroom very comfortable but odd to have a bath (even if it does have a jacuzzi) as a shower would have been much more useful. Very well managed property, kept clean by a very efficient lady who also helped put together a simple lunch. Helpful local information from the property manager and the restaurants he recommended were very good; the crate of oranges he supplied were delicious. A great venue and fully recommended, although we were surprised by the request for a hefty cash damages deposit on day one (which had not been flagged up anywhere).
