Excellent vacation - cannot find fault. We went for peace and quiet and we got just that. The hosts were excellent and very helpful.

Wake up to birds singing and breakfast on comfortable chairs on the covered veranda amongst the many olive and orange trees. There's a secluded garden area with plenty of cushioned sunbeds and the whole, large garden is fenced in which meant our dogs could have a wander. It was lovely to watch the horses being exercised at the riding school just across the adjoining field and the garden area is bigger than it appears in photos so a pleasant surprise. Inside there's everything we needed from a well-furnished kitchen to 2 large wardrobes with cupboards. Stuff we normally bring for self catering wasn't needed as this house had everything - from a magnify bathroom mirror, to extension leads to shoe horn! The kitchen utensil drawer was full and even included a potato masher!..plus the house is cosy with heating if you need it. We'd just missed watching their harvest but benefitted from a supply of freshly produced olive oil and you can pick oranges and pomegranates directly from the trees. Freshly laid eggs are available from Michael & Pirrko's (friendly) chickens. We stayed in November so didn't swim but the pool is very pretty with a shallow walk-in end ideal for families and there were plenty of cushioned sunbeds. You need a car but once in it, local shops & Vera town are 5 mins, beach 12mins, nearest golf course 10 mins. Overall this accomodation was perfect for our 3&half week stay with hosts Michael and Pirrko being good fun but also very respectful of our privacy.
