From the moment Maria met us for check in, we knew we were going to have a fabulous time. She was very engaging and answered all of our questions. This home is not only beautiful, it has the perfect location, steps away from a beautiful beach, shops, and tavernas. Well furnished w a thoughtful welcome basket. It was spotless! Mano did an incredible job communicating which included numerous suggestions on places to go and see. We would stay here again and again!
Blick auf den Strand war leider nicht wie auf den Foto wir haben nur auf Parkende Autos geschaut.Pool war super Zimmer auch.Betreuung von Maria sehr gut.
