    We have to say this is one of the best villas we have ever stayed in! Certainly the best equipped and the maid service is excellent with clean bedding and towels provided every 3/4 days and the Villa cleaned from top to bottom at the same time. It’s about a 10 minute drive to Agia Efimia with numerous restaurants and supermarkets. Lida is a fantastic host with excellent and prompt communication and allowed us to have a late check out due to us having a late flight home. Highly recommended!

    Lovely villa, in a great location. Spotlessly clean with everything you would need for your stay. The pool and outside space is fantastic! Lida is a great host, providing privacy but always available if required. All tavernas we visited were very good - our top picks were the one in the village, Finikas and The Local in Agia Effimia and Myrtos Tavern near Myrtos beach. We loved our vist to Villa Vounaki!

    We had a lovely stay at Villa Vounaki. Everything was just perfect, the villa was wonderfully clean and tidy with a really great welcome pack. Fully equipped with everything we could need for our stay and very comfortable. Situated in a lovely small village location between the East and West coast to the North of the island, so very easy to visit all areas in the North. Great restaurant a short walk away in the village serving traditional and very tasty food. Our host Lida was very welcoming on arrival and helpful with anything we needed to ask during our stay. So all in all highly recommended as a relaxing base to explore the North of this wonderful island.

    Very well equipped and clean villa in a beautiful part of the island. The recommendations on places to eat were spot-on; we ate in the local Taverna 3 times during the stay. Lida was a great host - the welcome pack was the best ever - and we will be back.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous villa, we felt very well looked after. We particularly appreciated the welcome basket on the first night having arrived quite late. The villa is a joy to return to after a day out, walking up the steps through the pretty garden. It was very well equipped with everything we needed and the pool area was great, sunny all day, but with welcome shade under the pergola. The views to the coast from the front bedrooms were amazing. We enjoyed walking down into the little village for a morning coffee at the cafe/bar or in the evening for a meal at the welcoming taverna. Further afield we explored many of the beautiful beaches and towns in the North of the island, the car hire was definitely worth it! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful, all in all a perfect place for a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Thank you Lida!

    Thoroughly relaxing holiday in quiet Makryotika. The villa is beautiful and in lovely setting on the hill, with a gentle breeze that kept us cool through a heatwave.

    We loved our stay here. The villa was spotless and there were covid safe procedures in places. We were provided with face masks and hand sanitisers. The villa is beautiful and with the attention to detail was fabulous. The pool is private and there is a choice of seating areas outside. The villa is in a little village, which is lovely. The welcome basket was excellent, with everything we needed until we could get to the shops. We highly recommend this villa.
