From start to finish a wonderful holiday. We were a group of family and friends, all adults, and the layout of the villa with two separate guesthouses offered the most relaxing and private spaces for everyone. The outdoor areas were our favourite, with a choice of dining spaces, but everywhere took in the breathtaking views. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was brilliantly equipped as was the Barbecue. It was a short drive to several lovely beaches and seaside tavernas , having been to a great many Greek Islands, the food in Kea was the best we have had in Greece. Olga, who owns and manages the villa, was simply perfect. As responsive and helpful as you could wish for and also discreet and respectful of your privacy. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Sandra Maria and whole-heartedly recommend it.

We are a group of friends from Cyprus and we had the most amazing time in Villa Sandra Maria. Mr.Bill, the manager welcomed us at the port and he was waiting patiently to finish the procedure of our 2 car Rentals and then he drove us in the villa where, fresh orange juice, fruits and white local wine were on the table! The host made a toast to welcome us and wish a pleasant stay. That was just the beginning of an amazing time. The stunning views, crystal clear pool and very clean rooms were fantastic. The outdoor/pool area is large, plenty of sunbeds, sitting areas, decent sized rooms with en-suit bathrooms attached to each, outdoor shower in a stoned corner, powerful AC, WI-FI, BBQ , outdoor music, everything you need. The host and the manager were also incredibly responsive and amenable to our needs. I asked Olga if it was possible to check out later than 10.00 as we would have had nowhere to go and with all our luggage, she promptly replied a yes, and we were given a whole half day for free. We would book this place again in a heartbeat, perfect for a family or a group of friends. Spectacular!

A charming and aesthetically impressive villa with clean lines and modern design but in keeping with the island's architecture. We adored the outdoor space and especially the just-breathtaking sea view by the pool. Olga is a great hostess and every small detail of the Villa revealed her passion for architecture and decoration. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a lovely set up then this is the place for you.

Kea is a quiet, relatively undeveloped and unspoilt island. As soon as you arrive you can't help but relax as people are friendly and the living is easy. Villa Sandra Maria is the icing on the cake. It is the last of a group of three villas built down the cliff side so has uninterrupted views, privacy and quiet. The infinity pool was so inviting and warm and the views were amazing. I somehow awoke every morning and watched the sunrise, and we dined outdoors every evening and watched the sun set. Heaven! There are so many different areas to sit, two large, shaded outdoor dining areas, one sheltered from the occasional wind, which was actually quite a pleasant feature in the heat. Because the villa faces north you can find shady areas to sit while still looking out on the view, including a secluded, mature garden area. We stayed in the main house which has an open plan master bedroom suite upstairs with three balconies. There was also a smaller double bedroom downstairs with separate shower room. They both featured plenty of storage and the two showers were powerful and the water hot - there was even a cold outdoor shower which was really handy for the pool. The comfort and decor of the villa makes you feel at home straight away as it has many of Olga's paintings and lovely touches to make it feel like a home. Every detail has been thought of, the villa has surplus amounts of towels, linens and crockery, so we did not want for anything while staying here. Correspondence with Olga, the owner manager was excellent. She responded quickly to any queries, booked the ferry crossing for us and when we experienced problems with the wifi she sent somebody to fix it immediately. We visited two of the local beaches, where you can park on the side of the road, under the trees and wander down to the sheltered, sandy coves which are well organised with loungers to rent. There are many options for eating out nearby, including a yacht marina with several restaurants, or for cheaper restaurants visit the lovely hill town of Ioulida. We shopped for all our food at the supermarket, bakery, butcher and fishmonger in the port and also bought fresh fish from a man on a boat and loved being able to buy delicious local produce grown on the island. We really did not want to leave and will definitely return now that we have found this beautiful island and gorgeous villa.

After searching for a 5* accommodation for months, after seeing the pictures we knew it was where we wanted to go for our holiday to spend a week just chilling and enjoying the villa & surroundings. When we arrived it was more beautiful than words. We arrived at dusk so had to wait to see the outside, when we woke in the morning to see the view from the window, it was breath taking & spent many hours just sitting looking at the views. Olga was so tentative and helpful from the minute we arrived. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday and was great to meet you and become a friend. If we were to rate the villa we would give a 7* if we could. We will be back!! Love Jacqui & Steve

This is the place I would like to live the rest of my life!!!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in Olga's properties. We are a fussy and well traveled family (husband is an architect). The property is lovelier than one anticipates from the web site - really stylish and wonderful for 2-3 families / couples. The layout allows for privacy and for sharing meals and larger groups getting together . The location is magnificent - the views of sunset, sea, sky and the shipping lanes are amazing. Olga is so helpful and the information she gives is very reliable. We loved the 2 week stay and could have easily stayed another week. Thank you Olga and come and visit us in Kenya!

Spending a weekend in Sandra Maria Villa has been the best choice we could have ever made. Apart from the great and convenient spot on the island, with the most amazing view, every small detail of the Villa reveals the passion of Olga for architecture and decoration. And when this is combined with her warm friendly character, the result becomes unforgettable! We highly recommend both Sandra Maria Villa and the Studio O, for a truly unique experience! Thank u for everything!
