Beautiful villa with stunning mountain views
Alonia is a fabulous villa for a family stay We were a group of six adults one teenager and three children it was perfect for us. The pools were fabulous and the gardens with all the aromatic herbs and fruit trees were a delight. The Mountain View’s were beautiful and enough to do locally Melidoni caves, Reptiland and the honey museum are all worth a visit. The hosts were just amazing so friendly and a gave us a very warm welcome and villa tour. The welcome basket they provided was great and they even supplied a special gluten free one for our daughter which was so thoughtful and appreciated. We would highly recommend this villa and the lovely hosts and we hope yo return in the future.

Fabulous
Lovely villa, well located for an easy walk to the village and playground. Pools were beautiful and warm and the villa was absolutely spotless. The nearest towns and beaches are not very touristy and parking can be tricky, but worth visiting to explore the area. The caves and reptile sanctuary are well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend - plenty of space for all and the hosts are wonderful. Thank you!

Amazing Villa and Hosts. 5 Star ++++++
Alonia Villa. Stayed here with my family- 6 adults and 2 children. First thing to say is the Villa looks as good in reality as it does in the pictures. Everything is of a high standard, décor is excellent, everything is clean and tidy. Lounge and dining area are great social spaces with ample room for us all. Outside is amazing, both pools very clean with ample loungers and tables. BBQ makes for some great evenings outside. The gardens are beautiful and very well looked after, providing extensive herbs and fruit. Alonia Villa exceeded our expectations. Location – We found the location great , just a short walk from the village, small store for day to day needs, excellent restaurant in the village Carbo and Olive, highly recommend. The nearby Caves and Reptile House are well worth a visit. Plenty of beach options within about 30min drive, Karavostasi beach in Bali is well worth a visit. The Hosts Not only is the Villa amazing, but the host are too, George, his mother and father made us very welcome. The food provided on our first day was greatly appreciated and delicious as was the mid stay cake and Easter eggs for the children, a truly lovely gesture. They made us feel very welcome and made our stay feel very special. An amazing Villa with amazing hosts.
