Luxury Villa Marina with private access to the sea!

We spent a fabulous 10 days in this beautiful villa in August. Chris and Marina welcomed us at the villa on arrival and gave us a very thorough tour of all of the amenities ( 5 star) as well as providing us with a home made spinach pie for lunch. We were blown away by their hospitality and the fully stocked fridge and cupboards ( much of which was home made produce). The villa itself was absolutely fabulous; modern, spacious, air conditioned with all mod cons, and towels were provided, both for the pool and the beach. There was a housekeeping service twice per week and the pool was serviced every day ( before we were even up.). The pool area was simply stunning( the pictures do not do it justice) and the views were breathtaking. The highlight of the Villa for us was its location on the waters edge; a few steps down from the pool area led to a decked area on the rocks where you could jump into the crystal clear water or take out a kayak or the SUP to explore the area. The snorkelling was amazing. Simply beautiful. We would thoroughly recommend Villa Marina - Chris and Marina are the perfect hosts and have one of the most beautiful villas we have ever stayed in.

My recent vacation led me to this delightful rental home, and I can't help but share the incredible experience I had. From the very first step inside, I was wrapped in a sense of warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a truly remarkable stay. The hosts had clearly poured their hearts into ensuring that every detail was perfected for a comfortable and enjoyable visit. The kitchen was thoughtfully equipped with all the essentials, while the living spaces boasted tasteful decorations that radiated a cozy charm. It was evident that a great deal of care had been taken to create an ambiance that felt both inviting and homey. What truly impressed me was the impeccable cleanliness and maintenance of the entire house. Every nook and cranny was spotless, a clear reflection of the hosts' commitment to providing a pristine and hygienic environment. This dedication to cleanliness not only put me at ease but also spoke volumes about the hosts' dedication to offering an exceptional experience. The hosts themselves were equally exceptional in their warmth and hospitality. They were always on hand to address any questions I had and were generous with recommendations for local attractions and dining. Their genuine concern for my comfort made me feel like more than just a guest; I felt like I was staying with friends who truly cared. Nestled in a serene and picturesque neighborhood, the rental's location was a perfect choice for a peaceful escape.

Luxury Villa Marina is an amazing property! Very clean, has everything one needs plus much much more! It is just like a resort- you can stay in by the pool or go down to swim and snorkel to the incredible natural lagoon with crystal clear water. We enjoyed listening to the cicadas in the beautiful garden with blooming flowers, fragrant jasmine and rosemary bushes, lemon/orange trees. Marina and Chris were very kind to allow us to check in earlier. Chris met us at the house, showed us around, and gave us many local businesses/restaurant recommendations. Our refrigerator was filled with necessities as well as local gems(cheese, yogurt, homemade jams) for us to try. Marina made us a pumpkins pie and delicious cookies! Our family would rate our experience with ten stars!!!! Thank you Marina and Chris for sharing your house with us!

Where should we start with a review of this wonderful property. From the superb welcome upon our arrival, to the thank you on departure, everything was spot on for our retirement holiday with our family, six adults altogether. The house and grounds are very well maintained and offered us everything we needed and more. The six of us occupied the main house (2 bedrooms) and the self contained studio (one further bedroom). We were provided with an unexpected but thoroughly welcome food and drink package, with home made produce, cheeses, fruits, salad and veg. Bottled still and sparkling water, wine and beer, ice and ice creams. The kitchen area is quite small, and we tended to occupy this in pairs to prepare food. There’s a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and hob, microwave, Nespresso machine, food processor, smoothie maker, sandwich toaster& kettle. In the lounge area, there’s plenty of seating for at least 6, with an enormous collection of music CDs , iTunes for streaming, a proper HiFi setup, portable Bluetooth speakers to take outside. The TV had local, foreign channels and Netflix, WiFi was fast and had a strong signal with routers in both properties. There’s also a dining table inside with adequate seating, but in all honesty we didn’t use it as we ate outside under the canopy for all our meals in. There’s air conditioning in the lounge and bedrooms too, great for cooling down after 32 degrees outside. The property boasts a super pool which is just large enough to swim a little on ones own, and was large enough for the 6 of us to have a dip and splash around. We must say that’s it’s all really well maintained, and a pool cleaner came early morning on 6 of the 7 days we were there. There are good quality sun loungers, pool towels and a couple of great inflatables to use too. At the back of the property is a gate with steps down to a private shingle beach area, and further ladders to take you down into the sea. We enjoyed the use of a canoe to explore some of the headland around, swam and snorkelled to see the abundant marine life there(fish, crabs, octopus). We didn’t hire a car, but walked into Scala(40mins), used local taxis to return. Eating out was great with plenty of local restaurants, the nearest being a 20 min stroll. As you can tell, we loved this house, Marina & Christos have thought of everything you would need for a great holiday and more. We can’t thank them enough and will certainly return. Paul, Janice and family.
