We stayed at Wendy’s Villa for 10 days and had a fantastic holiday. The villa is absolutely stunning and the views over the Mediterranean are incredible. Every morning we enjoyed a cup of tea on the balcony and every evening we relaxed on the rooftop terrace. The recent outdoor renovations have made it even more special.The pool is huge, the villa was spotless, the bedrooms were comfortable and the kitchen, although a little dated, had everything we needed.Wendy was an amazing host. We had a couple of minor issues during our stay but they were dealt with almost immediately. She was always quick to respond and even helped us find the villa when we arrived late at night by sending an alternative location link.A few things are worth knowing before you book. The villa is in a peaceful rural location so a car is essential. Nothing is within walking distance and taxis are expensive. I’d also recommend taking extra tyre and underbody insurance on your hire car as some local roads are rough.Although advertised for 12 guests, we personally felt it would be more comfortable for 9 or 10 people on a longer stay, as the office bedroom and fold-out bed downstairs aren’t ideal for 10 nights.Overall we loved our stay. The villa is beautiful, the setting is breathtaking and Wendy couldn’t have been a better host, so kind and caring. We’d happily book again and highly recommend it.

Perfect house, better than the pictures! I do recommend a car going here though.

Having done more than 20 villa holidays we all said that this one was our favourite.Immaculately kept and the most stunning views honestly the pictures don’t do it justice.Our favourite spot was the outside lounge terrace up the outdoor steps where my husband could sunbathe on the double sun lounger whilst I could read my book in the shade on the comfortable sofa and take in the panoramic view watching the boats come and go.If you’re thinking of renting don’t hesitate just book it and thank me later.Thank you so much Wendy I’ve no doubt we will be backPs just had to go and buy some electronic soap dispensers didn’t realise how much I need them in my life

While the house and location was great, our family was not able to use the pool the entire week because of a bee infestation. There were no less than 30plus bees in the grates all around the pool. The owner Wendy is responsive and tried to remedy the situation but it did not work. The remedy was using fish guts as bait scattered around the pool which then flew into the pool. Also tried a toxic spray that was left for us to do ourselves. Unfortunately that put a major damper on the trip as the pool area was one of the reasons we chose the house. There were also no blankets and were told they only supply flat sheets so with air conditioning it was uncomfortably cold to sleep and we had to use towels. The location is close to many beaches and sites but is not walkable at all since it’s high on the mountain.
