It was a really wonderful home with expansive sea views. The town of Plaka which you can walk to has several restaurants and a couple nice little grocery stores. Michalis helped us arrange personal chefs one evening-Adda and Alice-just a lovely evening of traditional Greek food-I would highly recommend it! The only problem we had with the home was the mattresses on all the beds are very hard and uncomfortable.
This villa is very nice, well maintained and well equipped. We were very comfortable in this large space and in the well kept outdoor area. The view from the villa is super and the nearby village is only a three minutes drive away (it’s a short walk, but the road is very narrow and very hilly). The restaurants in the village are nice and the small store is well stocked.
The path to the small beach is not really open. In fact we started down the path and gave up after only a few feet. It was not passable for the average person.
Overall this is a great option and our entire group gave it five stars
Ein tolles Haus mit wunderschönem Ausblick auf Meer, Landschaft und die weißen Berge. Auch den großen Pool haben wir sehr genossen. Wir wurden sehr nett betreut und fühlten uns rundherum sehr wohl! Der Zugang zum Meer ist mit ein bisschen Trittsicherheit verbunden, aber es lässt sich wunderbar schwimmen in herrlichem Wasser!

Geniet van het prachtige uitzicht en de Griekse gastvrijheid
Villa Hector heeft een prachtig uitzicht en is van alle gemakken voorzien. Een lekker koel zwembad, goede ligstoelen met parasol en fijne bedden met stevige matrassen. Michalis en Irena zorgen dat je terecht komt in een heel schoon huis. Tijdens ons verblijf verraste Michalis ons met zelf gemaakte Griekse lekkernijen.

Beautiful Villa in a beautiful area
We had a fantastic 2 week holiday at Villa Hectoras, near Plaka. The villa is exceptional - with breathtaking views, spacious interior, great outdoor areas, sunny aspect, and within easy reach of Plaka, where there are a number of bars and tavernas. The pool and outdoor area is fantastic. The short path down to the sea was used alot as well (take your stale bread down there as it encourages loads of fish). Michalis was very friendly and helpful and was available to help with any queries. We will go again.
