Our booking and stay at this wonderful location went seamlessly and we enjoyed every minute! Bob was more than helpful during the booking process and very accommodating with regard to hiring cars and providing info on the locality. The two cars were waiting for us at the airport (Akis, the car hire man, even led us out of the airport area and put us on the right road towards the villa...late at night!). On waking the next morning, the stunning uninterrupted view from Villa Cypress, across the sea towards the island of Ithaca, took our breath away...in fact, this happened repeatedly every morning, when walking out on to the terrace! Marilena (the local property manager) had kindly offered to do a shop for us in the local supermarket before we arrived (a basic welcome pack is included, but we wanted a little more - nothing was too much trouble), and we paid for this in the shop during our stay. We didn't plan too much out and about, as the villa was so lovely - it covered all our needs. We took with us our two twenty-something daughters plus one boyfriend, and also their 75-year old grandmother, and this villa suited everyone. The pool was a perfect temperature - good for cooling down, but warm enough for my wimpy husband (and the pool man came twice during our week's stay to clean it). The villa was large enough for the six of us, air-conditioned (a must), and well-stocked. No complaints from the kids re Wifi and TV, so both obviously worked very well! The local village store in the village stocked everything, fresh fruit/veg, wine, fish, bread, toiletries, etc. Fiscardo, a 10-15 minute drive, is a beautiful quaint harbour with great restaurants, bars and shopping....although not the cheapest on the island, but delightful all the same. We hired a boat and very personable skipper (Panos) for the day, who took us around the most beautiful beaches and waters of Ithaca. I would definitely recommend the overall HomeAway holiday experience - from booking right through to our stay - and we hope to return! Thank you.
