Zudem befindet sich oben auch das große Bad mit Badewanne. Im Erdgeschosse die offene Küche mit Esszimmer und Wohnzimmer. Ein weiteres Schlafzimmer mit einem Doppelbett. Und ein kleines Bad mit einer einfachen Dusche, WC und eine einfache Waschmaschine mit max. 800 Umdrehungen, Herr Monolis ist der sogenannte Hausmeister der sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend ist. Jeder Wunsch wird berücksichtigt. Draußen der Pool der super zum abkühlen ist. Auch ein Grill steht pro Haus zur Verfügung.

Tolle Villa in gepflegter Umgebung
Man braucht aber auf jeden Fall ein Auto, aber dafür sehr ruhig und erholsam. Sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Der Concierge hat mitten in der Nacht auf uns gewartet und die Betreuerin ist superlieb. Die Putzfrauen sehr höflich und gründlich.

Familienurlaub in wunderschönem Häuschen
Wir haben unseren zweiwöchigen Urlaub zu fünft in diesem tollen Ferienhaus verbracht. Es war ausreichend Platz für alle vorhanden und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Unsere Gastgeber waren prima und haben die griechische Gastfreundschaft wirklich gelebt. Der Pool bietet jederzeit eine schöne Abkühlung und es sind mehr als genug Liegen zum Entspannen vorhanden. Das Haus liegt etwas abseits, Supermärkte gibt es keine in Fußnähe. Deshalb ist ein Auto dringend zu empfehlen! Insgesamt haben wir einen tollen Urlaub gehabt und werden uns bestimmt noch lange an diese 2 Wochen erinnern.
