Lovely villa and gardens
This is a good size villa with beautiful gardens with a lawn and palm trees. The villa has shutters and tiled floors which keep it cool in the day. The master bedroom has a high ceiling which makes it airy. The villa is a good size and there is plenty of room for a family or friends. The villa contains all you need for self catering. Communication both from the UK and in Greece was great with Kate and also with Spiros who lives close by. They are a dream team as can sort anything you need! Spiros brought us eggs from his farm and found us some BBQ coals when we couldn’t source any. Kate from the UK was kind and helpful and quick to reply at all times.
The pool is lovely and with the lush gardens, you can easily spend a day chilling. Remarkably there are very few mozzies but many butterflies fluttering around. The garden is watered from the spring from the mountain opposite the house. There are quite a few hiking trials locally but best to come early or late season to enjoy them as it will be cooler. The villa is on a main road but there isn’t a lot of traffic noise - just a bit at morning commute time. The trees in the garden makes the villa private. The villa is gated at the front and also individually, so secure.
You will need a car and we found autotours, who are local, to be excellent. There are 2 tavernas at the end of the road and both worth trying. You get generous free deserts - nice! The end taverna has veggie dishes. We didn’t walk as there are no pavements. The villa is a close drive to attractions such as seven springs and in the opposite direction, the local beach / the right hand side is good for snorkelling and we enjoyed parasailing at Mikes watersports. Lindos is 25 minutes away and in the other direction is beaches such as the pretty Nicholas beach. We also trundled to Butterfly valley which was inland with god views over to the West coast when you got the top. Lots of good restaurant this way and good value too.
On an eve we use the DVD player and streamed Netflix if at home. The internet was OK but could be stronger. You can also got take away pizza delivered from Afonda for a lazy night. For an authentic experience, there is a lovely fish restaurant in this village.
In all we had a relaxing holiday. Our family including sons of 20 and 15 enjoyed it. We wish we were there now!
