Exceptional stay in beautiful seaside apartment!

We arrived on an early flight from Amsterdam, initially thinking we would have to spend a couple of hours sightseeing with our luggage in tow till 3pm check in, but to our joy and amazement our host, Akis, was waiting for us at the airport to accompany us to the apartment. The apartment was bright and airy, with amazing seaviews from the various balconies... The bedrooms were spacious and spotlessly, as were the lounge, the kitchen and the bathroom.. Another very lovely detail was the generous welcome pack; there was wine, water and juice cooling in the fridge, as well an assortment of biscuits, crackers, honey, peanut butter, Nespresso coffee pads etc., very thoughtful and welcome indeed! Thank you again.. The apartment also boasted a washing machine, plus a selection of toiletries. Another pleasant surprise was a full service clean and towel change halfway through our stay. All in all, we had a great stay in a great apartment; thank you very much for your kindness.. Best wishes, John, Jozina and Jolanda, the Netherlands..

I'd give 6-stars if I could.

This is a stunning 5-star luxury modernist designer villa, if I could have given it six stars I would. Astrea villa has cutting-edge modern design with an amazing eye for detail. The finishes on the whole villa have been done to perfection. My family and friends spent a week there and every day felt like being on holiday on the set of a high-end fashion shoot (social media influencers will love it). Seriously, this villa would not look out of place on the pages of Elle Decoration, or Wallpaper. Clean lines outside and in with a red ochre exterior, stripped back unfinished plaster interior and matte marble floors throughout. There is a stunning infinity pool and a spectacular view of the mountains to the north-west and the bay to the south. The pool is beautifully tiled and has steps down and a shallow area for kids and sun-bathing. It is the perfect temperature for cooling you down on the hot days, and it certainly does get hot here in summer. Each room has pool access via sliding double doors and they are all pretty much the same size so there’s no arguments for the best room. The beds have firm mattresses which are very comfortable even for those with bad backs. The storage is more than adequate and like everything else has been done with exquisite taste, and there are electronically controlled floor to ceiling black out blinds for those who like a lie in. The bathrooms are well designed with wet rooms with rain-maker showers and they have wonderful complimentary shower gel, shampoo and hair masks. Everything has been done to the highest level, the towels are by Missoni, the rugs by Guy Laroche. The kitchen is top of the range with pots and pans that wouldn’t look out of place in a Park Lane hotel. There's also a Sonos sound system. The sun-loungers are well designed and comfortable, as are the sun-shades. The dining table is made from Corian and the dining chairs are comfortable and stylish. The air-conditioning is all remote control and creates a cool refuge from the midday heat. There is a shady area by the pool and the view is spectacular and a great place to watch the stunning sunsets over the mountains in the distance. The host, Nick, is amazing. He took care of our every need, he was on constant call by mobile, via WA or phone. He booked our boat trip, gave excellent advice on restaurants and solved any problems that we had. All told it was an amazing week and I hope we will be back next year.
