Beautiful, spacious villa in a stunning location. Host kindly provided water, juices and other food ingredients, which was amazing specially for the first couple of days until we managed to find a supermarket. Villa has an amazing outdoor space with a beautiful swimming pool, lots of places to sit, relax, eat and drink

The check in/out time is not the time indicated on booking.com (apparently it is 4pm/10am vs. what is indicated here that is 2pm/12pm). Not very convenient or nice to have to wait for 2 additional hours before checking in or while having breakfast or packing in the last day, someone comes in and start cleaning, which is literally what happened to us. The villa is big and fair enough it needs few hours to make it ready for the next guests but then state the correct check in/out time on the booking.

We loved everything about our stay from start to finish. The pool area was absolutely fantastic for our two boys (6 and 8) and we at all times felt secure and relaxed. We found the fridge well stocked on arrival, which was a lovely gesture and waking up to the views across the Ionian Sea every morning were breathtaking. Denise looked after us all week going above and beyond what we expected, as well as being a lovely lady - she made us feel completely at home. The villa is very secluded, with the nearest supermarket (of any size) about a 10/15 minute drive away (you will need to hire a car), but as we wanted to relax, this was perfect. There is also very little through-traffic as the mountains are right behind us, which made for incredible views in every direction. The space around the villa is also worth noting - there is absolutely loads of room and plenty of seating areas (I think we could have sat at a different table every night!). Netflix in all the bedrooms was a nice feature and the air conditioning allowed for comfortable nights sleep. Agios Nikolaos is the place to head for restaurants, sea trips etc, but there are little tavernas dotted around the hills that all offered excellent local cuisine. Overall, just a wonderful, relaxing experience from start to finish.

The only minor criticism we had was that the cot provided was a little dated and could do with replacing.

Denise was very helpful and kind! She made us feel like family.

We loved everything about the villa! Every little detail was thought of, and was deliberately featured for comfort. Mrs.Denice was an amazing host, so accessible and generous. We were welcomed with drinks, fridge full and prepped for our first night so we didn’t have to leave the villa. The villa was spotlessly clean! The villa was made to feel like you’re at home and it really did. We had a house delivery grocery which was so convenient, food was organic and the money helped the local economy of Skinaria. The Xigia beach is like 10 min drive from the villa. We are definitely planning on coming back!
