Svolis Beachhouse - Villa Set in a Beautiful Bay

A wonderful vacation spot for families. A truly beach front home with everything you need. Elena was there to answer any questions as were Jens and Raukia. We would come again in a heartbeat. It was perfect for our family and friends.

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Woche bei euch. Euer Haus am Strand ist wirklich einmalig! Vielen Dank für alles!

First of all I am writing this review, because we really had our best vacation ever! We had the chance to meet Peter and Raukia(the owners) in person, they are so kind and welcoming, just talking to them was a great pleasure. The information we read online about the Villa was 100% accurate. The house is very well located, it is near Karystos (a bigger city in the region), different beaches are easily accessible from here (just a few minutes of driving), however the beach by the villa is so great, we spent most of our time there. It has pebbles and sand on the beach, and big flat rocks in the water, but those does not hurt your feet (swimming shoes are recommended though, so you won't slip on the rocks, but as I remember they have some pairs in the villa too). The garden around the house is enormous, the kids couldn't stop running around, and playing on this big space. The villa is very well equipped! You can find almost anything you can think of, such as: a lot of cutlery, plates, cooking pots, coffe machine, toaster, swimming gear, it has a big fridge, etc. etc. We needed a baby chair, and Peter got us one, it was such a nice gesture. The owners are so pliant, you can work things out very quickly, if you have any problems. The Villa itself is very spacious, and clean, well maintained, if something breaks the mechanics are there under 30minutes, but I think even more quickly, We are completely satisfied with that. The owners prepared us for everything, they even recommended a spring nearby, where we could get water any time, and it is cleaner than the water through the pipes (if you know the Greek water quaility you quickly realise this is a big benefit). The owners recommended us beaches, restaurants, places to go on a trip, attractions nearby. They really prepared us for the upcoming days. I would absolutely recommend this Villa for anyone. It is calm, welcoming, spacious, comfortable, the view is just amazing, you can see the sea from almost every point of the house. We will go back definately, it was such a great experience, five stars just don't feel enough to evaluate this great place. Thank you very much Peter and Raukia Best Regards, Team Horkai

This home on Evia Island near Karystos is well worth the cost. A beautiful private beach and exceptional home interior. We found Evia and Karystos to be less hectic than other islands and less packed with tourists. The owner and caretaker were very helpful and managed some difficult weather related problems well, even offering a wonderful complimentary dinner at a local hotel.
