We booked this villa for one week in July after checking a lot of villas in the area. We booked this one because it is right on the beach and with small children this was perfect as we did not want to drive to the beach every day, also because the beach is sandy which of course is just perfect for children. We were excited about the pictures but, being our first vacation in a villa and not a family holiday club, we were skeptical about them but what a surprise we had !!! Villa Lefka is only 20 minutes drive from the airport which made it even more attractive, the drive is pretty much a straight road all the way along the coast. We were not tired when we arrived and the incredible views from the patio and the amazing garden with the pool were put to good use by all as soon as we arrived. With the garden completely secure it was easy to relax with the children running around at top speed on the lawn. It was the first location we ever been to that looked better than the pictures!!!
The villa itself is amazing with a great living area, very nice bedrooms but the main feature is the garden with the pool and gate leading directly to the sandy beach. Everything was spotless and tidy including the garden. The villa had everything anyone could ever ask for: fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, freezer, barbeque, wood oven, Wi-Fi, sound system with a great selection of Greek and international music, maps and guides, books, magazines etc.
You need a car if you're staying at villa Lefka not to get to the beach but the area is definitely worth exploring with many small archaeological sites and more contemporary sites to visit plus activity centres with white water rafting, horse riding, walking and hiking.
Villa Lefka has become one of our favourites and as I write this we are talking about returning again in 2015.
Thank you to the owners, Antonis and Mariza, for their excellent hospitality!
