Traumhafte Unterkunft
Wir haben in diesem tollen Haus 6 wunderschöne Tage verbracht. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist sehr hochwertig und geschmackvoll und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.
Von der Terrasse mit Pool hat man einen traumhaften Blick auf das Meer.
In Aglios Pavlos und in der näheren Umgebung gibt es viele schöne Strände und Buchten.
Alles in allem TOP und absolut weiterzuempfehlen.
