We enjoyed 2 weeks in this nice villa near by the dunes and the beach. It is perfect for people that are looking at staying in a wild and protected natural area ! Leonidas is a nice guy and was full of tips and always available to support in case needed.
The only point to improve is the water as their is not that much drinkable water in the area as well as in the house.
We have been for four weeks in this wonderful location and we were absolutely lucky. Beginning with very friendly and helpful host, who showed us what greek hospitality means, and ending with the unique location. the villa is located in a great garden at the foot of a hill, in pure nature, 350 m to the sea, a footwalk through a forest of strofilia pine trees. In the other direction you have wetland with Flamingos, Pelicans...This place will always stay in our hearts. Thank you
Die Lage: Ein phantastischer Strand, viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und ein paar Tavernen
Das Haus: sehr gerÀumig, Ausstattung nicht neu, alles vorhanden
Der Vermieter: super nett und hilfsbereit, danke Leonidas :-)
Exceptional value and spaciousness for relaxed vacation.
I recommend this beautiful property for longer stays as it is far from the city but near a beautiful beach on the Ionian sea. Our host, Leonidas, was gracious and came to meet us
in the town of Lappa or so we could find the property with long curving driveway. We stayed
almost a week and wish we could have had longer.
Day trips by car to Olympia, Temple of Apollo, Patra, and island of Zakynthos from Killini were easily managed. Located in/near a huge national park the forest of umbrella trees and birds were interesting with a back drop of lovely small mountains.
