A beautiful and peaceful location, with magnificent views. The nearby coastal village of Frikes is charming and has some excellent tavernas. The villa itself and the pool area are very private, even though there are three other villas. The hosts were charming and helpful.

While it may be possible to walk to a restaurant, the steep terrain means this is easy only for the young or the very fit.

amazing view, great pool, and amazing hosts!! Diana and Vassilis are the best

the shower was too small

Great villa in a quiet and peaceful setting. Villa was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Diana met us at the property (having helped us sort a taxi from the Sami ferry) and got us quickly sorted and settled in. She was around during the week to help with any queries we had, but very much in the background. Pool was great and good outdoor space/facilities. We chose not to have a car and walked pretty much everywhere - much to Diane's bemusement! It took about 25 mins to walk to Frikes for great tavernas on the harbour and to hire a motorboat (30 mins walk back as there is a short sharp hill back up to the villa) and 15 mins to walk to Stavros for tavernas/supermarkets plus down the hill to Polis beach (extra 10/15 mins walk). There is a great restaurant about 12 mins walk away on the road down to Frikes that is definitely worth a visit and did a fabulous owner made rose wine. We hopped on the ferry from Frikes to Fiskardo for a second week of holidaying, but I think that you can also do a day trip given ferry times - check in the souvenir/tee-shirt shop next to the mini-market on the harbour side.

The perfect location and Diana was the perfect host! She is an absolute delight, so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Diana met us outside the church in Stavros and drove ahead to show us how to get to the villa. Once we arrived, she went over everything and had prepared a beautiful platter of food with wine and oozo which was wonderful as we arrived quite late and we were very hungry! The pool and external area are very private and beautifully maintained. We sat on the balcony every evening with the most stunning views of the valley and Frikes bay. Diana would pop round each day to clean around the pool, put up the umbrella and leave fresh flowers, she was always on hand to help with any queries on the surrounding area etc. the villa itself is quite rustic and charming, the kitchen and both bathrooms are quite small but functional. Beds and bed linen were fresh and comfortable, Diana would change all linen/towels mid week. All in all, we grew very fond of it all by the end of our stay! On our last day, Diana brought us a little gift which was very unexpected but so sweet!
