Villa Evanthia is the best property we have ever stayed in - the most beautiful house and garden, the best-equipped and most generously-stocked kitchen, and in a quiet location with views of Mount Ida and surrounded by olive groves. Joanna and her family are super-friendly and helpul, and left us with everything we needed, along with fresh fruit and veg and home-cooked food. Make sure to visit their olive oil farm too!

Villa Evanthia is perfect for two families (we were 4 adults and 5 children). Everything was well-maintained and functional, and the entire house was sparkling clean upon arrival.
The house is beautifully furnished with four good-sized bedrooms, three bathrooms, a lovely and fully equipped kitchen, and air conditioning in every room.
The owner of the house, Joanna is by far the most lovely, nice and easygoing owner and greek person we have ever come across and also great that her English is impeccable! She was not very responsive to our inquiries prior to arrival, which made us a bit uneasy, but there was absolutely no reason to worry. Our need for planning far succeeds the need in Greece. "Just relax, honny - it's the greek way", she would say❤ Everything was in perfect order, and Joanna was quick to respond to any questions or concerns throughout our stay.
The fridge was filled with fruit, water, juice, and beer upon arrival. On the day of our arrival, Joanna brought us lunch, and later in the week, she brought us ice cream and homemade cake - how nice is that!
The house has a cozy and lovely garden with a beautiful terrace, pool, and well-functioning outdoor kitchen with a grill. The terrace has shaded areas with comfortable patio furniture. The pool is spacious and self-cleaning, so there is no need to fish dead animals out of it.
Fantastic Villa Evanthia is located a 5-minute walk from the charming village of Melidoni, where there are opportunities to purchase basic necessities and a few small shops selling clothing, jewelry, spirits, etc. There is also a cozy little restaurant with delicious traditional Greek food and fantastic homemade ice cream.
We highly recommend Villa Evanthia!

The Villa was perfect, Every detail was thought off its such a spacious residence with beautiful views over the mountains it was spotlessly clean inside and out, with a great pool.
The home cooked meal ready on our arrival was most appreciated and a nicely stocked fridge all added to a warm welcome.
Joanna the host was wonderful so helpful, cheerful and generous, she made us feel so comfortable, She sourced a wheelchair for my mum to use during our stay which was a big relief for me,
It's a lovely little stroll in to the village where there's a few shops and restaurants where we were made very welcome, make sure you visit the Family Olive Oil factory for a tour and hopefully you'll meet Joanna's Mum too they made us laugh so much.
Thank you again Joanna for such a fabulous stay.

The property was beautiful, and was fully equipped for our friends and family (we had 3 little ones). Joanna was one of the best hosts I’ve come across, she was attentive and responded very quickly to messages. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinners every night , with the added touch of appliances like juicers and coffee machines and a great bbq areas. The property also contained a washing machine , which was particularly useful when you have small children. I also really liked there were lots of areas of shade - as well as lots of spots that caught the sun. We all loved our stay and would recommend the place to everyone.
