An Absolute Gem
The villa gave us just what we needed - rest and relaxation.
Lovely to find a few essentials like bread and milk when we arrived very late at night. Very dark on the porch, so our mobile torch came in handy to do the key safe code.
Very tidy house inside and out. Pool guy came regularly and kept it spotless.
A gardener appeared too and sprayed some weedkiller round the garden at one point so I steered clear of that.
Maria came to clean and change bedding/towels midweek and was so lovely. Despite her broken English and my non existent greek, we managed to chat and she took me into the lemon and avocado grove to pick some lemons. She also called a couple of days later with some doughnuts and some local wine for us - so kind.
We hired a car which gave us easy access in the stifling heat so the supermarkets in Polis and all the local tavernas for evening meals. Try Yialos Beach Bar in Polis - stunning.
We only ventured out to the beautiful Agios Georgios pottery shop and Peyia one day.
The beds are really comfy and the air con in the bedrooms seemed fairly new as they were really cool and you didn't have to switch them on every couple of hours.
Thankfully there was a breeze most days, to take the edge off the late 30's temperatures. The downstairs could do with at least a ceiling fan or pedestal fan, in the absence of air con, as one night with no breeze, we had sweat pouring off us. That was our only gripe.
Fab place to go to to recharge your batteries.
