A stunning villa in a stunning location.

A lovely presented villa with everything you could wish for situated just far enough out of the village so it feels private but still close enough to walk in where you will be greeted by the friendly locals. The owners are extremely welcoming and are always going the extra mile to make sure your stay is enjoyed by all. Can not recommend this villa highly enough. Thank you for our stay.

We were cared for before our arrival and during the entire stay. There was much attention to detail in all aspects of the accommodation and the beauty of the grounds. We enjoyed comfort, relaxation and fun as a family during our fortnight’s stay. The owners were very generous with excellent hospitality and kindness.

Fabulous

Lovely villa, well located for an easy walk to the village and playground. Pools were beautiful and warm and the villa was absolutely spotless. The nearest towns and beaches are not very touristy and parking can be tricky, but worth visiting to explore the area. The caves and reptile sanctuary are well worth a visit. Would definitely recommend - plenty of space for all and the hosts are wonderful. Thank you!

We were greeted by the owners who made us feel very welcome and showed us all around the property. They even cooked a meal as we arrived late evening! The villa had everything you could need and was spotlessly clean. We had a midweek clean and change of towels and sheets which was very unexpected. We would thoroughly recommend this villa and the area if you like a quiet village setting.

Fantastic family villa

Villa Alonia is ideal for a family holiday, in particular the two pools and the fact that they are away from the house and safe with a gate at the top of the stairs leading from the living room terrace. The village of Melidoni is a 5 minute walk with a small supermarket and great taverna. George and family are brilliant hosts and Think Villa who manage the booking are amazingly helpful. They organised a private chef for a celebration dinner and you can get food delivered by loclal ladies via them. All in all a great holiday.

Beautiful villa with stunning mountain views

Alonia is a fabulous villa for a family stay We were a group of six adults one teenager and three children it was perfect for us. The pools were fabulous and the gardens with all the aromatic herbs and fruit trees were a delight. The Mountain View’s were beautiful and enough to do locally Melidoni caves, Reptiland and the honey museum are all worth a visit. The hosts were just amazing so friendly and a gave us a very warm welcome and villa tour. The welcome basket they provided was great and they even supplied a special gluten free one for our daughter which was so thoughtful and appreciated. We would highly recommend this villa and the lovely hosts and we hope yo return in the future.
