We had the most wonderful holiday and week in Almyrida and in this Villa at the end of September. The Villa was just perfect, all what we wanted and more. The villa Villa is situated in a quiet place, but yet it´s very close to amenities and to Sea, just a short walk down the hill. The scene from the Villa is amazing and calming. It was a huge pleasure to have a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening by the pool in the Villa and watch the mountains. Yes, the Villa also had a lovely pool to get refreshed during warm and sunny days. Could not have been better. And the Villa itself was spacious and clean, fully equipped, elegant and decorated with style, and we felt very comfortable staying also inside the Villa. I can highly recommend this Villa for having a memorable and relaxing vacation.
The villa is perfect for a family of four - we adults had the upstairs room with its own bathroom and balcony where we had our morning coffee, while the downstairs bed can be split into two for the kids. The house was exactly as nice as in the pictures. Everything looked new and well maintained and clean and nice. The house is a good size with a lovely terrace. The house is well equipped with good beds, fine duvets, everything you need for kitchen equipment and easy laundry. If you want a house in Almyrida for four, this villa is highly recommended.
Exceptional villa. Completely 5 * facilities. Spotlessly clean. Very large with everything you could want. Pool was fantastic. Views are the best in the whole town. 3 minutes to the little town and beach.
