Wonderful relaxing break
Had a wonderful time at the villa. The hospitality of the hosts was warm, welcoming and generous. Was planning on lots of sight seeing but mainly stayed around the village and the local area enjoying the fabulous food and friendly locals.

Great villa
Property was lovely, spacious and adequate for our stay. Property manager was brilliant, always sorted any queries promptly and efficiently and helped wherever able. Village of Margaretes was 15/20mins walk; this village was lovely and had so many wonderful things to buy. The walk there was very dusty and hot in the midday sun. This walk would have been fine, but not great with people with small children or people with disabilities. It was just very hot and uncomfortable in the heat and uphill coming back. All in all, we had a lovely stay and cannot fault the owners in any way.

Fabulous!
We had such a lovely time here! Irini and Manos were so kind and caring but never overbearing. The outside space is particularly beautiful. We had lunch on the upper level terrace and dinner at the large table at lower level. The village Margarites is lovely with great ceramic shops.

A wonderful holiday
Yanis, Manos and the family make you feel really special. Their kindness and generosity made this a really special holiday. The villa and pool are spotless and we loved every minute. We hired a car as the villa is quite rural. The beaches are worth the drive (from twenty minutes to an hour and a half). The village of Margarites is beautiful, the villages treat you like family!! If you get the chance, rent this villa and have a great holiday!!!

Peaceful countryside house
We stayed as a family of 8 in this lovely traditional house, which is at the top of the lovely village of Margarites. The village itself was a 10 minute walk downhill , very pretty and a few nice places to eat and drink. A 25 minute drive to some fabulous beaches! The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed , the garden and pool area was lovely too. Very peaceful area with some amazing countryside views. The host Irini and her family were very helpful and made some very kind gestures. If you want a nice relaxing holiday then we recommend this place! Laura and Family

Fantastic
The property was ideal for a relaxing stay for two families of four. The Villa (split into two apartments), the grounds and the pool were perfect. The hosts were kind, polite, helpful and generous.... Perfect. There are loads of places to visit nearby, history and beaches abound. The village nearby is beautiful and magnificent views along the gorge to the sea. The village is walking distance (wear sensible shoes for the walk back up the hill) …. would I recommend this property YES YES YES

Beautiful house, lovely pool and outside eating area and a very warm welcome from the owner
We had a wonderful stay at Afroditi's House and would absolutely recommend the property to family and friends! It is a nicely restored stone-built house in a little hamlet just outside the attractive village of Margarites. Our group had 8 adults and 2 young children and the house was perfect for us; plenty of space for the children to run about and an attractive pool surrounded by low-growing orange and olive trees to provide shade. We had many happy meals round the big outside table and had fun with the pizza oven too. The owners were incredibly warm and generous, always quick to respond if we had a question (though they respected our privacy too). We were made to feel really welcome with some beautiful food when we arrived from the airport and we got the impression they had really thought about what would make our holiday a happy one by, for example, providing some toys for the children. The location is also good.. not far from the sea and some great beaches but with good access to the mountains and some walks you can do straight from the house. The ancient site of Eleftherna is close by and there are some great Tavernas within walking distance too. A thoroughly enjoyable stay!!

In een woord uitstekend. Uitleg van de locatie van het huis was duidelijk met foto's van de huizen waar afgeslagen moest worden. Bij aankomst was er een grote mand met producten aanwezig. In het huis was alles prima in orde. Enige minpunt is het mooie zwembad waar zowel de kinderen als de kleinkinderen niet uit te slaan waren. Toch nog de bijzonderheden in de omgeving gezien. Ook de tv, hoewel vermeld was op de site dat die aanwezig is, niet gemist.
