This was the second time we visited Helianthos Villas and we really enjoy the comfort, shared pool (which became a private pool), scenery and the tranquility. The host was very supportive and allowed us a late check-out. We strongly recommend to visit this place ##### Bart ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadine H. 13 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ein Traum! Wir 4 (mit Kinder 9, 6) haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Pool kann man tagsüber und auch nachts schwimmen, war für uns das Highlight! Die Küche ist so super ausgestattet wie zuhause! Die Kinder lieben das Dachboden (Kinder nennen es Super-Versteck-Kammer), wollen unbedingt oben schlafen und spielen. Also für Kinder die gut und sicher klettern können. Im Wohnzimmer gibt auch Schlafmöglichkeiten (sie hat uns angeboten), wenn man nicht im Kammer schlafen möchten. Christina unterstützt uns bei Fragen sehr freundlich und warmherzig. ##### Nadine H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lian P. 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sans hésiter !
