Villa Mayroula

Fabulous location, on the top of a hill with a large garden giving a lovely feeling of seclusion and busy insects buzzing between the flowers and olive trees. Great pool. Really attentive cleaning and maintenance team. No notes.We had a couple of struggles with the appliances, but the host was quick and attentive in sorting them out. Asking for our feedback while we were still there is a practice other hosts should copy.Insect repellent a must.

Lovely villa; very private (just one neighbour - a lovely Italian family) set in mature olive groves. The villa is remote and a car is essential. The nearest village is Kato Korakiana with 2 mini-markets, a butcher and a couple of tavernas; a very pleasant option away from the over-populated East coast. The villa was clean, well-equipped and fully air-conditioned which we needed at 38c! Too hot to even BBQ! The only description we would perhaps ‘correct’ is ‘large pool.’ The pool is ‘medium-sized' with a kids pool at one end; perfect for families but not long enough if you like to swim for exercise. This is the first time we’ve rented a villa inland and we did miss the sea breeze. The property manager, Ingrid was excellent. She was there to greet us and went through all the details of the villa. Costas the pool guy and gardener was there regularly (lovely guy) and a team of cleaners zoomed through the place 3 times a week, which some may find a bit intrusive if you like your privacy, but they kept the villa clean, took away the rubbish and provided clean towels and linens. All in all, we had a very relaxing 10-days.
