The villa was all we could have hoped for and more. We were a family group of eleven, ranging from 70 to 5 years old. The five young children loved it (as did the adults.) They spent the first morning exploring the extensive grounds, which held hidden treasures round every corner and was very child orientated. They enjoyed collecting the eggs from the chicken every morning and held numerous contests of table tennis in the games room. But the overwhelming delight was the swimming pool, from which we struggled to get them to leave.
Every evening we barbecued and enjoyed wonderful meals, watching the lovely sunsets, The location is extremely quiet, with nothing but the sound of cicadas.
The beaches nearby were great and sandy. We loved the fact that we met very few English! The area is predominately Greek. We went on one excursion to Proti island which I would highly recommend..snorkelling over sunken ships and diving off the boat.
The villa itself is a very welcoming home, with every amenity that you could need and is full of interesting objets d'art. We all loved it. My daughter enjoyed playing the piano and the children discovered the card game 'Fool' which seemed to cause great hilarity!
Patrick could not have been more helpful, getting in provisions as we arrived late at night, and responding immediately if there were any minor worries.
All in all a fantastic stay. It was summed up by my 5 year old grandson, who, on leaving, said " Bye bye house. See you next year." I hope so!!
