Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TONY L. 27 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What an extraordinary villa in an exceptional location! Villa Atalandia is beautifully furnished, has an enormous heated swimming pool surrounded by smaller swimming pools, two fully equipped kitchens, a separate studio, and I could continue like this for a while... The villa is right by the sea (with two paths by the side of the villa leading to a secluded beach) and yet our children were safe at all times.We were greeted in style by the housekeeper who gave us all the information we needed concerning the property as well as the surrounding areas. This lead us to enjoy a gorgeous boat trip to Koufounisi island after just a 5 minute drive to Makry Gialos, a beautiful village with a lovely tourist beach. This was not our only luxurious experience, as the housekeeper was very happy to book us a traditional Greek dance class as well as a cooking class. Even on the days we wanted to relax, we always had something keeping us happy and occupied: board games, fitness, BBQ… The wifi worked perfectly all over the property so those of us who needed to, could easily nip to the office and check their work email. Finally, the villa is in a pristine state. The garden is very well taken care of, so are the swimming pools. The mattresses are very comfortable, and the ensuites are very spacious. The seaview as well as the view of the mountains from all around the property is simply stunning.We were very happy to visit Villa Atalandia and cannot wait to return! ![A breakfast with a sunny view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7cdae3a3-c54d-4c61-bfc2-8f7145a3a597-1748338928853.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Swimming with a seaview](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/570bf32f-0f8f-4418-8f49-6c63c2671b08-1748339923108.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Trip to the Moni Kapsa Monastery](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/68afd093-8f72-4607-b18b-99e14683a654-1748339938389.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Getting ready for a dinner by the sea!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f0bb5aea-48b1-47db-80c4-7960b0e4232d-1748339954753.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### TONY L.
