Totally chilled.
We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
The villa was faultless and Vangelis (the owner) could not have been more helpful.
The location would not suit everyone (too quiet?, too out of the way?) but we found it idyllic.
We enjoyed a few morning coffees and evening meals at the local taverna (also the local minimarket), where the hosts (Angelika and her husband and their delightful children) were really friendly, welcoming and accommodating.
The lovely sandy beach at Polirizos is the best of the three within a few km and was almost deserted in late April.
We couldn't find anything to complain about; apart maybe from the TV reception (but you are surrounded by mountains).

Relaxed Holidays at Rodakino
Our vacation at Pura Vida was really great to get away from the everyday-life. We arrived a little bit later in the evening, but it was no problem. Our host was so nice. He came every day around to clean up the pool and nearly always brought some gifts along: great orange cake, Raki, olive oil, honey...when we arrived there stood already a wine on the table. It was such a great hospitality and really nice to talk to him. The accomodation is pretty big, you definitely have enough space for at least 4 people. There is a welcoming outside area with a lot of different places where you can sit and relax. The pool is not so big but it's a nice refreshment and it's your private pool there. The house is located at the end of the village of Rodakino, from there you also have a nice view down to the sea. The village is pretty small and quiet, so the location is very good to have a chilled vacation. All in all we can definitely recommend a stay at Pura Vida if you are looking for a quiet retreat, where you can also relax a day instead of pacing around everyday. Special thanks to the fantastic hospitality 😊

Wonderful vacation home for families!!
We stayed with our 3 kids and we all loved it! The villa is extremely comfortoble, everything is new with high quality, the pool is really nice, and also the sitting area. The rooms are wide and there is a lot of space. Also the wifi was really good.
Vagelis was really helpful and helped us with everything we needed. Also - the Vila includes Playstation!
And also- just as information - the pool is for adult's hight- so kids can't stand in it and need to know how to swim...
To my opinion the Vila is perfect for 4 people, but as the 5th person's bad is in the living room, it is less comfortable for long stay.

Nous avons passé une semaine exceptionnelle à la Pura Vida ! Après les journées à la plage c’est très
La maison est encore plus belle et confortable que sur les photos ! L’accueil et l’amabilité de Vassily nous ont beaucoup plu.
Les literies sont très bonne, la maison est très bien équipée et la piscine très grande et agréable. La maison est entourée d’arbres fruitiers : citronniers, orangers, figuier…
