Summary: Our stay at Casa Ithaka was absolutely wonderful. From the moment Angie welcomed us, everything was perfect - the cleanliness, the comfort, and the fantastic location. The house is incredibly spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a true home-away-from-home experience. The pool area, with its stunning views, and the peaceful surroundings provided the perfect setting for relaxation and recharging. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene escape to refresh and unwind.

Summary: Directions were spot on, check in was smooth and easy Jonny was waiting for us at the property. We loved the location overlooking the mountains and very private. Not far to beaches and villages, you’ll need a car. The house was beautiful and really well equipped. We’ll be back!

Summary: This villa is in a quiet location perfect if you want to relax but you will need to drive to the nearest towns. Checking in and out was easy, the villa is very well equipped and we stayed here for a week and it had everything we needed to cook our meals. There is a large fridge freezer with water dispenser. The TV is smart so perfect for netflix and Disney+. The villa was really clean as well as the pool and outside area. The only improvement would be that it would have been nice to have two sun loungers and two recliner chairs rather than one each.

Summary: We stayed with our two girls (5 & 9 years) for 9 nights in this very cosy and quiet cottage. No traffic noise at all, no disturbance of any kind, super starry sky at night and a great sunrise over the hills to the east. Perfect for the kids in the morning with the small pool, 20-35 minutes to one of the beautiful beaches in the area in the afternoon. All in all, a very successful and relaxing holiday!familyfamilyv!

Summary: House was perfect with very private pool and sundeck. Only problem is, as other reviewers have commented, the size of the en-suite showers. I am 6 ft tall with a 44 inch chest. I found it very difficult to get in and out of the tiny 24 inch shower cubicles.
