We holiday to Greece every year and so were thankful for the chance to go despite the global pandemic. We have never had a Villa before, not booked an accommodation via Homeaway. So this was vet much a break from the norm. But a desire to lessen the contact with others by having our own place and the affordability of Villa Filia made perfect sense.
The property itself was perfect for us in that respect. Accommodation was relatively basic, but the Greek norm. We had everything we needed. Air con was excellent, pool was fabulous. Location was rather isolated and we were glad to have the car as you could not have functioned without it. Local supermarket had shut so you had to drive to Achravi which was only 5 mins, but way more than a walk each day to the bakery. A couple of local tavernas kept you going in the evening and were all within 10 min walk. The beach was 2 min walk away and incredibly quiet.
On the negative side, one must mention the wifi which was poor. It did mean the boys were sociable, but made planning excursions difficult. We had no wifi for the last two days despite contacating our host. The accommodation is relatively isolated amidst Greek farmers and as a consequence there were three Cockerals that might as well been in the grounds of the Villa and were a constant annoyance both night and day. The grass area around the pool was spacious and lovely, unfortunately one needs to be wary of the wasps that are hidden amongst it. Both my boys fell victim.
Finally, the mosquitos!! They were probably the worst we have encountered in Greece. Some out of season storms at the start of our holiday probably contributed, but they were present en mass were the car was parked.
