Great villa in a lovely village. We had enough fab tavernas within walking distance to keep our tummies very happy and all the facilities that we needed to eat in. Nektar bakery was an almost daily trip too 😉 Great base to travel by car to lots of cool days out and close to some really nice beaches that were perfect for the kids Lovely pool and beautiful location for star watching. Owner was great at communicating. Would highly recommend for a perfect holiday.

Good location within easy walking distance to local amenities/tavernas/bars. A couple of hills on the way back and the old part of Vamos is quite uneven so heals are not such a good idea. Lovely village though, quite quiet and not touristy at all. Definitely one to come back to.

We really enjoyed our week in Vamos and Octopus villa, with its stunning views, and lovely location. Communication with the owner, was great, and there was good info in the villa itself. The living space was a little smaller than we had anticipated, however this did not detract from our enjoyment of staying in this amazing area.

We had an amazing relaxing holiday in stunning surroundings. The house had everything we needed, the pool was superb, the location was perfect and the people were the friendliest of any country we have visited.

A cosy villa with all you need. The panoramic views of Lefka Ori and Souda bay are amazing - the most beautiful sunsets displayed each evening. Good sized pool. European plumming a nice surprise for those familiar with the typical local plumming ;-). Walking distance to local tavernas and minimarket - car recommended if you want to explore the beautiful Apokoronas area. Excellent and friendly communication with owner - thank you, Melanie!
