A 3 bedroom villa with a private pool and 3 minutes from Laourou Beach

The villa itself? Fabulous. Spotlessly clean, beautifully equipped, and in a location that was nothing short of perfect. We were even greeted with a lovely welcome package – though no milk or bread, which, being British, felt like a small national crisis over breakfast.Where things became less fabulous was the communication. Paying the balance was a saga: the payment link didn’t work, eventually I was told it would come out of the same account as the deposit (which it did), and yet I still received two more requests for payment..Surprises continued. The property description didn’t mention that electricity would be billed separately – that little nugget only appeared after the deposit was paid. Nor did it mention the CCTV pointed at the pool, which was less “holiday privacy” and more “Big Brother: sun lounger edition.”On the penultimate day, I spotted a 300 pending transaction from my account. After asking, I was told it was a damage deposit “just in case.” Again, not something we’d been informed about. And, once home, I was told we hadn’t followed the electricity policy and money would be deducted from the damage waiver. Luckily, photo and video evidence cleared that up – cue an apology for the miscommunication.So, in short: the villa and location were superb (truly faultless, CCTV aside), but the lack of clear communication about payments, electricity, and deposits did put a dampener on things. With a few tweaks to transparency, this would be a five-star experience.

The villa was well equipped, lovely and clean with a superb garden which had sun from 0800hrs through to 1800hrs even in late September. Within easy walking distance of beach some bars/ restaurants and supermarket. Main Coral Bay strip 15/ 20 minute walk but local bus service runs every 15 minutes. Host quick to respond to any questions we had. Welcome pack was nice bonus.

It was as a pleasure to book with Anastasia again this year. Our villa was everything we could possibly want for comfort, accommodation, cleanliness and situation. Aristo 12 is a very pleasant location just minutes walk from Corallia beach. Our villa was spacious and comfortable with a great pool and delightful garden. Communication with Mathew is so easy using WhatsApp. Altogether a fabulous holiday and thank you very much for the care you take to welcome guests. We hope to return next year.

We had the best holiday in this high quality villa situated about 5 mins walk from the local restaurant of Legends with good food and entertainment and 20 mins walk from the main Coral Bay strip with lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. The villa was spacious and clean. Lots of room in the lounge diner and large well equipped kitchen off the hall with a downstairs cloakroom. Kitchen had all the appliances you need and washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets provided. The 3 bedrooms upstairs were spacious with plenty of storage for clothes - the mattresses were hard but that suits most people. Master suite was amazing with a lovely large balcony with sea views and a large en suite with walk in shower. Air conditioning worked well. The outside space was wonderful with sun all day long but areas of shade from a well established garden. Lovely comfy garden furniture and the pool was beautiful and clean and warm - one shallow end you can kneel in and the other end was very deep so ideal for all ages and fun in the pool. Mathew who manages the property was so helpful with villa details before the trip and restaurant recommendations and answered any questions quickly. I would thoroughly recommend staying here - we had a lovely holiday with myself and my husband and two18 year old boys who found enough entertainment to keep them busy when they were awake in the afternoons and til the early hours!

Just before coming we learnt our villa, (as in the picture) in a pleasant situation and located very close to the beach, had been double booked and we were located to one well outside walking distance. Location is of prime importance to us for this beach based holiday so we were obviously disappointed. Anastasia and Mathew worked very hard to do all they could to make our holiday a success. The outcome was Georgii and Ivan giving us lifts each day and if they were busy a taxi was provided. Villa Julia was well appointed with scenic views, a fabulous pool and garden with a little orchard of orange and lemon trees. We had the pleasure of getting to know these wonderful young men and what could have been potentially a bit of a disaster turned into a holiday enriched by care and kindness - it was certainly one we won’t forget for all the right reasons. Thank you.
