Wirklich sehr schön

Ein rundum angenehmer Aufenthalt.Es war alles da, was man braucht und einiges mehr. Die Anlagen haben einwandfrei funktioniert.Pool, Klimaanlagen und Fliegengitter sind im Juli/August wichtige Ausstattungen. Die liebevollen Kunstwerke bieten dem Auge viel Abwechslung. Kamilari ist ein schöner Ort, im Supermarkt bekommt man (fast) alles und in der familiären Atmosphäre der empfohlenen Tavernen ist Essen und Trinken ein Genuss. Archäologische Stätten, Natur und Strände in der Umgebung runden den Urlaub im Künstlerhaus perfekt ab.

Wie schön, dass Sie sich bei mir wohl gefühlt haben. Ich freue mich immer, wenn meine Gäste sich wie zu Hause fühlen. Und Kamilari ist auch ein Ort an dem man sich wirklich willkommen fühlt. Hier lebt die kretische Gastfreundschaft immer noch. Liebe Grüße Ilona Metscher

Eine wundervolle Zeit

Wir haben zwei wundervolle Wochen im Haus von Ilona verbracht. Der Kontakt mit Ilona war super, sie hat in Kamilari eine Wohlfühloase geschaffen, an dem man auftanken kann und einfach seine Seele baumeln lassen kann. Wir haben uns in das Haus und auch den Ort verliebt.

Künstler Villa im malerischen Dorf

Die Villa Ilona ist ein sehr schönes in 2021 neu renoviertes und sehr sauberes Haus, das keine unserer Wünsche offen gelassen hat. Das Haus selber ist sehr gut ausgestattet und am Dorfrand von Kamilari in einer sehr idyllische gelegenen Lage. Von dem Pool aus hat man einen wunderbaren Blick auf die Berge und einen anliegenden Obstgarten. Das sehr schöne, nahe gelegene Dorf mit einem authentischen Dorfladen, Cafés, Bar und Restaurants sowie einem mediterranen Nachtleben, erreicht man zu Fuß in 5 Minuten. Mit der Vila Ilona bekommt man einen herzlichen Empfang, einen idyllische Lage, einen gepflegten Pool und jede menge Entspannung mit künstlerischem Flair.
