Villa Dunes 350m from the sandy beach

This very large, comfortable, secluded house offers a wonderfully tranquil retreat from the frenetic world, perfect for rest and relaxation. The gardens and huge grounds provide an abundance of leafy privacy, and yet you are only 5 minutes walk through pine woods and dunes to the magnificent beach. And 10-15 minutes walk to the 3 main dining options, all of which are very good, but the warm welcome and deliciously fresh food at Petro's Taverna deserves particular mention. Leonidas is a warm, responsive and generous host who was keen to ensure we were comfortable and well-looked after. Villa Dunes is truly a special place and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We are very hopeful of staying there again in the future.

Τhe property is located near the wonderful beaches of Kalogria and the protected forest. The house was exactly as described, and was prepared for our arrival in every detail. Nothing was missing, when you needed something you just had to intuitively look for it and it was there. The rooms are large and comfy, very well equipped and furnished, roof fans and a/c is provided in all rooms. The external areas are also great, and we did enjoy all our meals outdoors from early in the morning until late at night. The tables and chairs were enough to accommodate our large party of 3 families. The kitchen was perfectly equipped and you could prepare everything for lunch or dinner, and the 2 refrigerators did make our lives easier, since during the hot Greek summer, everybody kept opening them, but despite that, the food and drinks were kept cool at all times.

The only thing that was not pleasant, was the abundance of insects of all kinds in the house's garden and in the surroundings. Ants, wasps, mosquitoes, etc. This is something completely natural and to be expected since the house is located in a protected area, with rivers and there must be no pesticide controlled agriculture in the extended area, so insects habitat is preserved.
