Maria and her husband are great hosts, ensuring our holiday had everything we needed. We had a great stay at Villa Armela - it is furnished to a very high standard and facilities are plentiful. The views are amazing and the property is perfectly placed to explore the whole island. The pool is a good size, we used the bbq and outside area also excellent. Would thoroughly recommend!!
