Villa Tara Christina

The villa was wonderful! Very spacious, clean and all the facilities that you could possibly need. We loved the pool and rooftop terrace areas, and the fabulous beach was only a 10 minute walk. The host was so helpful, and the ‘welcome pack’ was much appreciated!

Nothing

I loved the location. It was quiet and nice views and well maintained

It was a great place to rent with the nicest landlord

The property was clean and well maintained. We loved cooling off in the pool at the end of the day, and waking up to birdsong every morning. It was convenient walking distance to restaurants, the beach and an epic hike along the seven hanging valleys. We had lots of space for two couples for sleeping, eating and lounging.

This is not a criticism of the property, but it is older. On the upside it is much larger than newer properties. Plenty of seating but the sofa cushions had lost some spring.

The villa has everything you could need. Each bedroom is en-suite, 2 with walk in showers, one with a shower-over-bath. It is spotlessly clean. the owners had left an array of supplies (wine, fruit, bread etc.) which was much appreciated as our flight was quite delayed and all shops were closed when we arrived. They provided loads of advice about what to do in the area, and a list of recommended restaurants. The kitchen was very well equipped and we used the bbq several times. The pool was fabulous- plenty of loungers and towels provided. There is a small supermarket and a a few bars/restaurants a short walk (less than 5minutes) from the villa, and plenty more within a 10-15 minute walk. The beach is about 10 minutes walk away- (downhill and steep stairs- which you obviously need to climb back up on your return!). We had 2 older people in our group, so walking to restaurants wasn’t really an option, but an uber into Carvoiera cost about €5-6, and they were very easy to get at all times of the day. All in all, I can’t really fault this villa- an absolute gem. We will be back!
