The owner - Sai - has three 2-bed villas on a large plot with really well kept gardens. He lives in one and the other two are for holiday rents sharing a good sized pool.

The villas are well equipped, clean and spacious with air conditioning in the downstairs open-plan living area and each of the bedrooms with balconies on the top floor and shaded seating / eating areas at the front and back. There is a great stone barbecue area with separate fire pits for each villa which Sai keeps well stocked with wood and charcoal.

In terms of location - it's a 25 minute walk from the coast but the beaches along there are a bit limited - for pure beach sunbathing / swimming then there are lots of options - we favoured Daphne beach and Banana beach about a 25 min drive away but we really liked the nearby Keri beach - a 5/10 min drive away - with good sea- view restaurants and a great place to hire a small motorboat to go exploring the coastline - including Keri caves. You have a good chance of seeing some turtles too.

Sai is a really nice guy who couldn't do enough to make the holiday go well - he has lots of restaurant recommendations and encouraged us to pick ripe figs from the garden. Don't let the fact that Sai lives on the site put you off - he is careful not to intrude on your personal space or family time and was very patient with my children's incessant questions when looking after the pool etc. His communication was good throughout the booking process and in the run-up to the holiday & he has even posted us back a couple of things we failed to pack - sending us off with a large bottle of his home-made olive oil that he makes from the olive trees in the garden!

If you're looking for a quiet relaxing spot to base yourself from I recommend this place - the family in the other villa were there for 3 weeks and that was their third time there - I guess you can't really get a better recommendation than that.
