George was there waiting for us with a lovely warm Greek cheese pie, which was very welcome after our journey. The villa is spacious and very well kept. Plus point are also the showers that have rain and handheld shower heads. The huge saltwater pool of at least 18 m long was really a joy to swim our daily lengths. The view from the villa is very gorgeous, you can see the sea as well as main land Greece. The neighbourhood village of Vasiliko has good butchers and bakeries and along the road you will find a fruit and vegetable store which sells great produce at a very reasonable price. The village of Eretria was our favourite place to have a coffee near the ferry port, at a place called The Lighthouse, whose owners were extremely friendly, like in fact all people we met during our stay on Evia.

George and Erato went above and beyond to make us welcome and to meet our needs. The house was spacious and very well equipped. The pool is huge and we loved using the barbeque in the outdoor kitchen. . The downside for us was the location. It was remote and too far away from anything in walking distance. The other negative, which I wish we had been aware of before choosing our vacation destination is related to Greece in general., not specific to this property. Flushing toilet tissue is not allowed, it must be disposed of in a waste can and there are no overhead showers, all are hand held. These factors are not indicative of a luxury experience to those accustomed to American bathrooms.

We stayed in this house the first 2 weeks of July 2019. It was all we could have hoped for. The pictures of the house, pool and surroundings do not disappoint. George and his family were very welcoming and helpful. They provided a lot of tips on what to see and what to do. Which we really appreciated. Our kids (age 6 and 4) loved the downstairs playing area with all the toys provided. The spend the warmest hours of the days there avoiding the heat. This property has the best pool you can hope for. It was perfect for swimming as well as for playing and relaxing. We most definitely recommend this property to anyone.

Hat alles hervorragend geklappt. George hat sich bestens gekümmert. Das Haus ist sehr großzügig und sauber und bietet mit einem Riesenpool, Tennisplatz, Spielkeller mit Tischtennisplatte, Grillplatz und großen Terrassen alles, was das Urlauberherz begehrt. Zu erwähnen sind speziell auch die Insektenschutzgitter an allen Türen und Fenstern.

We were attracted to this villa because of the huge pool and we were not disappointed! With an 11-, a 10- and an 8-year-old to entertain between our two families (not to mention the two larger kids in the shape of the dads!), we found that there was so much to do and plenty of space, so that we did not feel like we were on top of one another. We arrived quite late due to a flight delay and George and Erato could not have been more accommodating and empathetic. They anticipated our every need, providing refreshments and detailed hints and tips about how to enjoy our stay. We all felt extremely relaxed from day one! The island was a wonderful surprise. Evia is unspoilt and truly Greek, with its share of historical sights, beautiful beaches, varied terrain and some fantastic cuisine. The nearby seaside town of Eretria was perfect for restaurants, cafés and even a spot of souvenir shopping (some fabulous jewellers and ceramic artists have their wares tucked away in shops near the ferry port). We also climbed to the acropolis, accompanied by some local puppies, and visited the fascinating museum full of local finds. As recommended by our hosts, outings to the beaches of Kalamos and Hiliadou were great fun for all the family and we enjoyed a stop at a hidden-gem of a taverna in the mountain-top village of Steni. The local beaches alongside the church (within walking distance) were fantastic for snorkelling, with beautiful clear water and plenty of sealife to spot, including cuttlefish and crabs. We also ventured further afield to visit the Parthenon, following George's travel advice and found it to be an easy daytrip. However, the villa kept calling us back with promises of the next tennis tournament, floating on a lilo or a sheltered, lazy BBQ dinner with Greek radio playing from the outdoor kitchen! We slept really well, thanks to the comfortable beds and air-conditioning and the luxurious en-suite in the master-bedroom was a real treat. We enjoyed selecting from the many seating areas and trying out different combinations of lights for evening drinks. The sun-loungers are really comfortable too and there is a fantastic view of the floodlit tennis court from the far end of the pool (useful for umpiring particularly close calls!) There is nothing we would change about this holiday and we're certainly hoping to return soon. Thank you, Erato and George.

The villa is very spacious, modern and comfortable. The outside is fantastic with a huge pool and tennis court, we loved the outdoor kitchen too and used it every night. George was a welcoming host and helped us sort a problem with our rental car, which would have been extremely difficult without him! The area is lovely, would definitely recommend Chalkida for shopping and dining etc. We stayed with another family so in total 4 adults and 4 children and it was perfect. The downstairs bedroom would definitely benefit from aircon (as with the rest of the bedrooms upstairs) my children slept downstairs and although a fan was supplied, they struggled to get to sleep and woke most nights. Other than that a fantastic holiday and we would return.

George was a great host he waited late for us to arrive and provided us with food. The house was designed by George so everything is well thought out. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are spacious and they all have aircon or fans. There are 5 bathrooms and 4 showers which is plenty. The outside area is the show stopper. The pool is much bigger than I expected and we all agreed it was the best pool we've ever been in. The water comes right to the top so you can just slide in and swim away. The pool is salt water so it feels lovely on your skin-not like the usual pools with harsh chlorine and there's no chlorine smell for days after using the pool. The tennis court is great and the BBQ area is brilliant. The kitchen area by the BBQ is fully stocked with plates, cutlery etc so you just need to add food! George was a very friendly host and we were lucky enough to try his wine and vegetables all grown on the land. I highly recommend this villa for a group of friends or family and it's only just over 1 hour to Athens airport. George provided thorough directions for us so we found it very easily.
