Schöner Urlaub
Wir können dieses Haus uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Der Empfang durch Manolu und Katherina war sehr herzlich. Der Kühlschrank war schon gefüllt und ein Obstteller stand auf dem Tisch. Zwischendurch wurden wir mit Aufmerksamkeiten bedacht wie frische Eier, Olivenöl oder mit lokalen Schnaps. Abends haben wir die Ruhe und die tollen Sonnenuntergänge mit Blick aufs Meer genossen.

Super Haus mit tollem Service
Das Haus ist sehr schön, genauso, wie es auf den Bildern zu sehen ist. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt. Bei unserer Anreise spät am Abend begrüßte uns Manolis herzlich und es wartete ein reich gefüllter Kühlschrank und ein überbordender Obst- und Snackkorb auf uns. Es war an alles gedacht. Während der Woche genossen wir die große und ruhige Terrasse zum Essen und Ausruhen. Unser Rückflug war wieder spät am Abend. Da wir die letzten Gäste der Saison waren, durften wir ganz unkompliziert noch den ganzen Tag im Haus bleiben. Vielen Dank für den wunderbaren Aufenthalt und die überaus herzliche Gastfreundschaft! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
