Stunning hillside views from very good and peaceful villa. Has variety of outside spaces that enable you to chase the sun or shade as you relax. Close to traditional village with couple of fantastic tavernas, although shop is very basic. Naxos is a more unspoilt island with some great beaches. Lesley was an excellent property manager. Overall would highly recommend.

la villa Guilena est un ensemble très bien situé en lisière d'un petit village, dans la nature loin du tumulte du bord de mer mais néanmoins a 20 minutes des plages et de la ville de Naxos. Parfaitement adaptée à une grande famille mais aussi à plusieurs couples elle réserve a chacun des espaces d'intimité. L'état général est excellent.

Our extended family spent a lovely week at this property near the charming village of Melanes. The main house and guest house were perfect for our group of 7. We enjoyed morning and evening swims in the fantastic pool and trekked to different beaches across the island during the day. The location was very convenient to Naxos town, which had all the amenities necessary. The views from the house were lovely and we loved the secluded and private location away from the resort areas. The tavernas in Melanes were fantastic and the nearby hiking trails to the springs and Kouros made for a great break from the beach. We absolutely loved our time in Naxos and the memories made on the island and in the house will be cherished always!

Thank you so much Lesley, you made our stay fantastic ! - house is perfect for a group of 10 people : the 3 different living areas assure calm and intimacy for everyone. In the mean time, the huge outdoor area around the pool enabled us to have dinner and to chill alltogether. To be noticed : there is no real spaces inside to have a 10 person dinner (absolutely not a problem in September as we could completely live outside :) ) - Lesley is flexible and very welcoming. She was of great help to find a nice car rental company (very good prices, cars, and people!). She was available in case of any trouble. Location of the house is perfect : - 15mn rides from first beaches. It is very easy to drive in Naxos : Roads are not crowded at all and it is easy to find places to park. We found it very cool not to be « too » close to the beaches as it allowed us to discover different beaches and coasts every day ! - Beautiful landscapes and super calm area.. not crowded at all with a lot of houses. It enables tranquility.. and few nice parties without annoying anyone :) ! - Starting point of some very nice hikes. - Very nice big pool.. ! - close to traditional villages and local tavernas. Very good point ! I highly recommend this location. Thanks again Lesley.
