After a short drive from the airport we arrived at villa Alexandra, where we were warmly greeted by Alexandra and Rubina bearing fresh fruit and flowers. The kitchen was stocked with a selection of refrigerated items, bread and crackers along with a welcome bottle of wine. The villla is beautiful with great views and and an amazing pool with jacuzzi looking out to sea.Rubina kept everything immaculately clean, regular sheet changes and fresh towels, without intruding, the beds are really comfortable and the pillows a dream. It is airy and spacious, we were a group of 4 adults and two teenagers, there was room for us all to sunbathe or chill out and there are plenty of shady spots to relax out of the sun. Ate out at Vinaries, Casa grec Sto Psito and Paparrazzi, a fabulous little italian just off Argostoli square. The local eaterie Dum Spiros is good but for a special night Vinaries just along the Piccolo Giro out of Argostoli is great. Must recommend the nearby supermarket saggitarius super friendly staff with help choosing wines, the bakery at Peratata and buy your fruit and veg from the waterside market in Argostoli, you can catch the turtles swimming while you are there.
Local cat and his heavily pregnant wife, were regular visitors and were both given affectionate names, he tends to leave cat dribble if you leave the sunbed cushions out at night. We had a fantastic week here and would highly recommend it. Top tip hang any open food, bread crisps cracker etc, from the curtain poles in the kitchen or the ants will get in.
