Guest comments
Arriving in the dark, nothing can prepare you for the stunning view that greets you when you wake up in the morning. It is literally breathtaking. I have never been in a holiday house so immaculately furnished and equipped.
And the pool was even more stunning than it looks in the photographs. Dinah Hall (UK)
-When we walked into the villa for the first time, all 10 of us were overwhelmed with the beauty of the location. We were so content with the villa and the view that we didn't want to leave.We had to force ourselves to leave for excursions to the surrounding islands and were very anxious to get back every day and sit by the pool.From the refrigerator stocked with food, a delicious dinner the first night, toiletries in the bathrooms, beach towels, and a sparkling clean villa and pool. We could not have asked for better accommodations. Jo Ann Elliott (KANSAS- USA)
We had an exceptionally wonderful stay in a perfect villa which was like paradise (Micheal Cooper-UK)
