Where should we start with a review of this wonderful property. From the superb welcome upon our arrival, to the thank you on departure, everything was spot on for our retirement holiday with our family, six adults altogether.
The house and grounds are very well maintained and offered us everything we needed and more. The six of us occupied the main house (2 bedrooms) and the self contained studio (one further bedroom).
We were provided with an unexpected but thoroughly welcome food and drink package, with home made produce, cheeses, fruits, salad and veg. Bottled still and sparkling water, wine and beer, ice and ice creams. The kitchen area is quite small, and we tended to occupy this in pairs to prepare food. There’s a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and hob, microwave, Nespresso machine, food processor, smoothie maker, sandwich toaster& kettle.
In the lounge area, there’s plenty of seating for at least 6, with an enormous collection of music CDs , iTunes for streaming, a proper HiFi setup, portable Bluetooth speakers to take outside. The TV had local, foreign channels and Netflix, WiFi was fast and had a strong signal with routers in both properties. There’s also a dining table inside with adequate seating, but in all honesty we didn’t use it as we ate outside under the canopy for all our meals in. There’s air conditioning in the lounge and bedrooms too, great for cooling down after 32 degrees outside.
The property boasts a super pool which is just large enough to swim a little on ones own, and was large enough for the 6 of us to have a dip and splash around. We must say that’s it’s all really well maintained, and a pool cleaner came early morning on 6 of the 7 days we were there. There are good quality sun loungers, pool towels and a couple of great inflatables to use too. At the back of the property is a gate with steps down to a private shingle beach area, and further ladders to take you down into the sea. We enjoyed the use of a canoe to explore some of the headland around, swam and snorkelled to see the abundant marine life there(fish, crabs, octopus). We didn’t hire a car, but walked into Scala(40mins), used local taxis to return. Eating out was great with plenty of local restaurants, the nearest being a 20 min stroll.
As you can tell, we loved this house, Marina & Christos have thought of everything you would need for a great holiday and more. We can’t thank them enough and will certainly return.
Paul, Janice and family.
