Manolis was a great host. He was there for us the entire time: giving us advice, asking how things are each day, very keen on hearing if we need anything or we find something that is missing from the house or can be improved etc. (I noted these things in the other section), complementing us with fruits, wine at our arrival. The house in which we stayed (villa Arete) is practically brand new (as far as I understood it was renovated last year) and also very clean, had everything you desire from a vacation house: fully equiped kitchen, very large and very nice decorated bathroom, air conditioning in each room (the house has 2 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and one small living room able to host a couch that can be easy transformed in a double bed), 3 places outside where you could have a chat, or lay a dinner (one on top of the building, one at the first floor, one in the mini garden). The complex with villas is very beautifull, they are all greek white painted, having also a little bit of tradition inside as well (he showed us a small villa which was very traditional in style). The pool is beautifull, clean, nice, bigh enough; before arriving I tought that the pool will be like a bath tub, but we were surprized in seeing that is very decent in size. The bed sheets were changed once in the 7 days that we stayed, which is more than enough. Basic cleaning like taking the garbage etc. was done more often. As a nice touch I enjoyed that we had also beach/pool towels in the room. The villas are very close to Pefkos (close to Pefkos beach as well) and also near a supermarket, small ATM, a restaurant (if you need a quick breakfast etc.) and also close to Lindos (the St. Paul's bay beach was the loveliest on the entire island: cool, nice food , nicest view.).||||||Please keep in mind that the following statements are only small, and friendly suggestion; you can have a 10* vacation without them as well; I just noted them here in order to be of help to our great host. I am sure he will investigate and fix everything that he can: - I hated a little bit the noisy ventilation in the bath that was downstairs. It seemed it didn't had enough power, but as far as I understood it was the best thing that could be done. It's not that bad, only a little annoying. - We suggested to Manolis to put some mosquito nets because the room that was downstairs and also the kitchen were both at ground level, and we were a little bit afraid in keeping the windows opened. - Another thing that I would suggest would be to take a new stander for hanging the towels and wet stuff we brought from the beach, and that because the existing one is a...
Read moreWow wow wow. A fabulous place. 10 minute walk from the centre of Pefkos and a lovely quiet location.
We stayed in Villa Arete which had everything you could need for a holiday. Lovely pool, excellent air con, fast reliable WiFi and comfortable beds.
The pool is cleaned daily and there is a midweek clean of the apartment including fresh towels.
There are plenty of shady areas to avoid the sun (it was very hot during our stay), including a lovely terrace area with seating and a table.
The apartment is really spacious over 3 floors.
Good local amenities in Pefkos including a nice bakery and good local restaurants which seemed less expensive than Lindos down the road. (I've also posted some Google reviews of these)
There is a lovely sandy beech (Kavos) 10 minutes walk away and a rocky snorkeling beech 15 mins walk in the opposite direction.
And the host Manolis.. what can I say.. what a lovely chap. Very passionate about his properties and very helpful. He provides good information on the local area and is contactable readily. He goes out of his way to make your stay special. He really was an...
Read moreThis was the first time of booking a villa for us, in a few words, we loved it.||As already mentioned there are five villas, four of which can be rented.|2 detached and 2 semi-detached.|There is a shared pool, however next year extra pools are being added to the larger villas.||The villas are 25 years old, however due to recent refurbishment they certainly don't look or feel it. |They are spotless, air-conditioning worked brilliantly, the beds are comfortable, each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. |The kitchen, not that we cooked at all, had everything we could have needed. ||The location was perfect for us, there is a restaurant named Eleni which is one minute away, excellent food. |The nearest bay is a short walk, however we opted to be pool side, the pool area was clean, plenty of sun loungers, just great. |Pefkos main area, albeit two roads mainly, was a ten minute walk from the villa. ||We had four outdoor seating areas, wonderful in the warm evenings. |All in all, this was a great...
