Incredibly beautiful house with rustic charm in gorgeous countryside.
In an idyllic setting the property has amazing views and a tranquil ambiance. The drawback is that to get there it’s quite a rough drive. The property is located quite a way out of Vasiliki so the owners arranged to meet us to follow to the property. There are two ways you can get to the villa, one is a very rough dirt track that is not great in a hired car and the other on concreted road is very steep in parts and goes through the owners property which was the route we chose to use. After being a bit daunted by this initially we got use to it and had no problems.
The property itself is worth all the drive to get there. Stunning views and very nicely furnished inside. I loved the main bedroom with windows on three sides and the lovely terrace leading from the French doors. We hadn’t realised that the property had another villa attached and there were also another couple of villas close by but the gardens had been done in such a way that you had total privacy from any neighbours although you could hear them sometimes.
The pool area was lovely but I don’t think the hammocks added anything. They actually blew over in some strong winds we had one night. The solar outside lights on the terrace areas could do with replacing as they don’t work. Pool was cleaned regularly and was a pleasure to dip into. Vasiliki has a beautiful harbour area and the beaches on the west of the island are easy to drive to. Our favourite place was Syvota about 15 min drive away.
