Ein sehr besonderes Haus, das man rasch lieb gewinnt! Und eine so nette Vermieterin, die zusammen mit ihrer Tochter (Englisch sprechend) stets unterstützt und sich umgehend kümmert, hat man selten. Das Haus wurde während unseres Urlaubs mehrfach gereinigt und jedesmal fanden wir eine Mahlzeit für uns vor! So nett und liebenswürdig! Man ist nicht nur Gast... Gerne empfehlen wir diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiter! Wichtig: Ohne Auto ist es nicht machbar, das muss man wissen.

Mit einem Wort erklärt: top!
Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in diesem liebevoll eingerichteten Haus. Auch der Außenbereich war sehr gepflegt und schön gestaltet. Alle paar Tage wurde das Haus gereinigt und die Betten frisch bezogen und jedes Mal stand eine Überraschung auf dem Tisch. Mal frisches Obst, mal etwas frisch gebackenes oder gekochtes. (Hierfür nochmal extra lieben Dank!) Als wir ein Problem mit dem Kamin hatten, kam am nächsten Tag sofort der Vermieter und hat es gerichtet. Zu dieser Jahreszeit wurde es Abends sehr kühl und ohne Ofen wäre es zu kalt gewesen. Die Gastgeber und deren Tochter sind sehr liebe Menschen, die sich bemühen, ihren Gästen den bestmöglichen Aufenthalt zu bieten. Vielen Dank noch einmal für diese wundervolle Zeit in ihrem Haus!

Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage
Das Haus ist einfach toll.
Wer Gastfreundschaft erleben will wie noch nie, der muss hierher. So wie hier, sind wir noch nie verwöhnt worden. Als "Willkommensgeschenk" fanden wir eine noch warme Moussaka vor, einen üppigen Obstteller und einen gefüllten Kühlschrank. Alles war tiptop sauber. Es wurde 2x in der Woche geputzt und Wäsche gewechselt, zusätzlich wurden wir mit griechischen Leckereien verwöhnt. Absolut bemerkenswert.
Der Pool ist super gepflegt. Leider war das Wasser im Oktober schon recht frisch, sonst hätte ich ihn noch lieber genutzt.
Wenn wir nicht in der tollen Sommerküche gegrillt haben, sind wir im Ort essen gegangen, was immer sehr gut war.
Kurz und gut - sehr empfehlenswert

Ein tolles Haus in ruhiger Gegend
Das Haus ist wundervoll und es ist alles da, was man benötigt.
Die Besitzerin und ihre Familie waren sehr gastfreundlich und herzlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Man muss aber wissen, dass man durchaus etwas weiter vom Meer und den belebten Regionen ist.

Es sah großartig!
Wir wurden herzlich empfangen, der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit Melone, frischem Obst, Butter und Marmelade. Wir sind von unseren Gastgebern sogar bekocht worden. Alle 2-3 Tage kam jemand für eine Reinigung vorbei. Das Haus und der Pool waren wunderbar sauber und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft zum relaxen!
Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Natur weit und breit, Vogelgezwitscher und ein paar Kilometer weiter traditionelle Tavernen. Der schöne kleine Pool steht zur Abkühlung bereit und der Grill und die Sitzmöglichkeiten sind für gemeinsame gemütliche Abende perfekt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr liebevoll und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Vielen Dank!
