When we arrived we were met by Christos and Natashia and their lovely children who were waiting to help us with our luggage even though it was about midnight when we arrived. We weren't quite prepared for the climb from the road up to the villa, which was quite strenuous, so we were very glad of their help. On reaching the villa though we were very impressed, it was excellent. It was huge, it was in beautiful condition and exceptionally clean. The facilities were excellent and the views from the windows and balconies were spectacular. The location was great, very close to supermarket, bakery and the main town and harbour. The beds were very comfortable, we always had plenty of hot water and it was handy having bathrooms on all floors. The living space on the middle floor was great for relaxing in at the end of the day and the dining area was perfect too. The bedroom on the top floor was the nicest, the 'penthouse suite'. Very spacious, it has a bath and a separate 'wet room' style shower. There was plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. a huge fridge and a nifty little ice maker in the freezer. Overall we loved this apartment but I must say it was quite an effort getting from the road up to it so be prepared. If you struggle getting up steep slopes or have a wheelchair then I would suggest this apartment would not be suitable for you. It's a shame there isn't an access road to drive up and park at the villa. However, don't be put off, it's a great place to stay if you're reasonably fit. Sitting on the balcony in the evenings having a drink with friends and watching the sun go down over Ali Pasha's castle was idyllic. It was great to have so much comfortable space and facilities just minutes from the main town but secluded enough to feel like your own private place in the hills. We were two couples in our mid-fifties but there is plenty of space for six people.
