We had a holiday to another destination cancelled at the last minute, we chose Karpathos and Arpathea villas after some quick research, and wow it couldn't have been any better. We had suite number 1 which is the most private, stunning interior, even more stunning pool with the most amazing views. Beautiful sunsets every evening. The suites are just as good as the villas as far as i can tell. One thing we thought was missing in the kitchen was an oven and microwave, but we survived without it. The service is simple but everything you need, always cleaned very nicely, and the friendly Val is always there to help you with anything you need, and on whatsapp too! If you need 5 star luxury, you are probably on the wrong island anyway! As I said, the pool and interior really are 5 star, you would pay 10 times more for something similar in Sanotrini! Location is lovely, 5 minute drive from the nearest town where you have some grocery stores and restaurants. Well located to explore the rest of the island too. I must definitely recommend hiring a car. I've travelled a lot and this is one of my favourite places ever, simplicity and paradise!
