We had a great stay at this villa. The villa itself is located on an absolutely gorgeous property, with amazing views from basically everywhere. Plenty of space for 7 of us (5 adults, 2 kids). It's a short drive to the village of Kalo Nero, which has a beautiful rocky beach with big waves that our kids (11-almost-12 and 14) loved playing in. Other sandier beaches are a quick drive away. There is plenty to see in under an hour's drive from the villa, or within 1.5 hrs one-way if you are up for a longer drive in this gorgeous part of Greece. My only regret is that 4-full days wasn't quite enough time to see and do everything we wanted to do! Judy was so helpful and informative with recommendations and answers to questions. She's an excellent host and greatly enhanced our experience. Would definitely return!

We really love the villa, you drive up through the Olive groves to a raised site where you can see the sea in the distance, lovely sunsets. The villa had everything we needed and is only a 15 min drive to the supermarkets and Kyparissia is a great town. Judy was amazing, so incredibly helpful and thoughtful, she really wants you to enjoy your stay.

We stayed at Judy’s house over a week in the start of summer. Judy was a great host and very responsive. The house was very well taken care of and spacious with all the necessary amenities. As we were there during a heatwave the fans in the bedrooms were not enough to keep the rooms cool but other than that everything was great!
