Villa is very nice furnished and it gives you sense of home. Our host was really helpful and always at hand. I recommend this place for anyone who want to spend a nice vacation in a small village away from the crowds of large resorts. ### 6/10 Okay #### Edward L. 27 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Great setting, house not quite there The property location is second to none. It has direct access to a beautiful pebbly beach and hasweeping sea views. The beach is relatively quiet except for a few nudist sunbathers. The house itself is clean but isn't quite what it should be for this price range. A significant proportion of the house area is used up by storage rooms. The living room space is very limited. The bedding and kitchen equipment needs updating. With a little more thought put into the comfort of the guest, this house has the potential to be an excellent stay. ##### Edward L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 25 Sept 2020 #### Loved it Amazing Villa on the shore. Just follow the stairs from the Villa and they will take you to a very small beach right in front of the Villa, just for you. We loved the house very much.

You are in a hidden place, you have your own beach just steps from the house. There's a big terrace under the pine trees, you can cook, drink and rest there while looking at the sea and listening to the waves.
