Beautiful Villa with stunning views.
We stayed here for 2 weeks with our children aged 8 and 12. The property has everything you could wish for, spotlessly clean, comfortable furniture and beds, air con throughout, a fully equipped kitchen and a large swimming pool to cool off in.
The pool and sun loungers are accessed from the master bedroom down a short external staircase which was no problem for us. Due to the orientation of the building the pool gets shade from about lunchtime onwards which is great as it stops the kids getting sunburnt when they refuse to get out and have cream on. Elsewhere outside there are other areas which get the sun up until early evening for those who want to sunbathe.
There are large balconies on the ground and upper floor to enjoy the views from which are stunning. Get up early and catch the sun rise which is amazing!
Porto Rafti is a lovely area, perfect if, like us you’re looking for a peaceful traditional village without noisy bars. You can visit Athens very easily from Porto Rafti, 25 mins drive to the metro station, park for free and get the train into the city centre. We went on a Sunday and watched the changing of the guard ceremony in front of the parliament building which is not to be missed. Then you can choose from many different museums and of course The Acropolis. We also drove down to Poseidon’s Temple, 35-40 mins, which is stunning. There’s a great water park for the kids 20-25 mins drive. It’s definitely worth hiring a car as there’s so much to visit.
Efi our host was very helpful throughout. For us this was the holiday that almost never happened due to COVID-19. Efi was very understanding allowing us to move the booking dates and providing updates on the situation in Greece and I’m so thankful we eventually got to go. Nothing was too much trouble for Efi, even offering to do laundry for us, something we’ve never been offered before!
You will not be disappointed!
