Voulisma Hills

Voulisma Hills

10/10 Excellent
"Voulisma Hills is a stunning oasis above Istron with amazing views of Mirabello Bay. The views alone are worth it! The property is exceptional with a beautiful swimming pool (warmed by the sun so quite warm in summer), lovely lounge chairs, and beautiful terraces attached to each apartment. The only negative aspect is the road to the villa, which is narrow and unpaved for the most part- but I do recommend accessing this property by car because it is basically inaccessible by foot if you have large suitcases, you will have to carry them up a steep hill and unpaved road for quite a while. But the spot is absolutely worth it!!"

Istron Villas

10/10 Excellent
"The villa (Marianna) was exquisite. Overlooking Istron Bay and the Istron Hotel, the view was breathtaking. We were able to use the hotel’s amenities including beach chairs and umbrellas, which was nice. Dimitry was a great host and available to answer questions when they came up. Overall, highly recommend the private villas. Just bear in mind that access to the villas is via the Istron Hotel’s main access road so just enter the hotel as your destination otherwise you may just drive right by (like we did!)."
