Kalisto Beach Villa

We spent much time using the pool and listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach :-) The pool was absolutely fabulous; we found it to be a good size appox 12 x 5 m. The views to the sea are fantastic and we spent most evenings watching the absolutely gorgeous sunsets to the horizon. The beach is a mixture of light/dark sand but is also rocky and can be strewn with some sea debris with the waves can be a bit rough at times. We did however use the beach to swim. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was very good; you could adjust the timer for 2/4/6 hrs at a time. We didnt need air conditioning down stairs as you could leave the doors open with the fly screens closed. The WiFi was good on the ground level but poorer upstairs. There were some RG45 ports upstairs for ethernet cables but not sure if there were working or not. We found the WiFi ok for streaming music and movies. We would recommend using the COOP for shopping; we found some bargains there compared to shopping in Papantonious in Polis although you will have to go to Papantonious for a lot things; we found the wine good value at the Co-Op. We would recommend the ice cream shop (Sweet Corner Gelato) close to the Co-Op There was also good views of the stars from the top roof of the villa where the hot tub was located. We did not use the hot tub or billiard table or football table. We did use the tennis court occasionally and it was ok for knocking a ball around but not really for any competitive game. Mrs Androula who looked after the villa was very helpful to us and sorted out any issues we had, she did a great job looking after the pool when the water got cloudy one day. She regularly checked the pool to make sure all was in order and you could speak to her or not if you had an issue. We would recommend visiting two beach bars in Kato Pyrgos, a bit of a journey but worth it (Grape by the Sea and IsI›I—IœI‘I¤I‘I¡I™I‘ Beach Bar)...we thought IsI›I—IœI‘I¤I‘I¡I™I‘ was the best. We would recommend two local bars/restaurants - Tipsy Turtle and Fly Again We thoroughly enjoyed spending time at the villa and were sad to leave. We would have no hesitation in returning again. There were minor issues with ants and cockroaches which is to be expected in a hot climate. However, the house was cleaned very well each week with a special cleaning substance which helped repel the cockroaches and ants. We found a few dead cockroaches but this was good as it showed that the poisoning was very effective and things were under control. Overall the villa was expensive to book but worth it in the end.

A fantastic villa. Myself, wife and 5 children had a lovely time.

We had the most beautiful time here all was as described. withe swimming pool and the beach you dont really need it.a car is definitely required. On the whole we had a brilliant time.
