Villa Spilies

We had a fantastic stay at this villa. The villa itself was spacious, spotless, and had everything we needed. The air conditioning worked brilliantly, and the beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to get a great night’s sleep. What made our stay exceptional were the owners. They were the most helpful and attentive hosts we’ve ever had. Nothing was too much trouble, and they were always available if we needed anything. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a comfortable, spacious place to stay with outstanding hospitality.

The property is around 5-10 minutes drive from shops and the town, but it’s not too much of a problem as taxis are cheap and available 24/7.

Firstly, the villa: The villa is absolutely gorgeous. Comfortable beds, lots wardrobe space, each bedroom has en suite bathroom, AC in each bedroom. Large full kitchen with all the pots and pans and and things you need for cooking and eating. Sitting room area had 2 super comfortable couches and a large smart TV with all the streaming apps ready to go. The whole place is tastefully decorated and has little touches that make it feel like a home and not just a house. Patio & Pool: A large yard out front with lots of space for a car, large sliding gate to access the property, a BBQ pit, a lovely shaded patio complete with comfortable patio furniture. There are lime trees and eggplant plants in the garden along with olive trees, cucumbers, cactus, and mangoes right next to the property, so the surrounding area is nice and green. The pool is perfect for families with children as it has a "zero entry" style which slopes gradually like walking into the sea from the beach - at it's deepest it is 1.4m, perfect to cool off when you are nicely baked from the sun! Location: The villa is right next to Spilies Tavern which is handy for a quick bite to eat or a nice cold beer, and there is even a pool there. Some cars coming and going throughout the day but not too frequently to be a bother. There is very little noise from the tavern, so you won't be disturbed. The location of the property is perfect if you have a car, and 5 minutes away is plenty of shops and restaurants in Coral Bay. The Host: Our host Stella was fantastic from the start. We arrived quite late (near midnight) and she was there to greet us with a smile and gave us the tour and told us everything we needed to know. She had provided plenty of bottled water, and there was bread and milk and tea/coffee and even some fresh eggs from the chickens Stella keeps. Stella is very friendly and welcoming, and she was available at any time if needed.

Notre séjour a été excellent ! La villa est très spacieuse, fonctionnelle et confortable. Stella est une hôte exceptionnelle ! Elle est très rigoureuse, efficace, accueillante, disponible et sympathique. La proximité avec la taverne (qui est ce que nous appelerions en France un bar-restaurant) n'est pas du tout gênante car il n'y a pas de bruit en journée ou tard le soir ; la proximité de la taverne est au contraire un atout qui améliore le séjour : elle est proche sans être mitoyenne et cela permet de pouvoir être facilement et rapidement en contact avec Stella. Cela nous a bien aidés lorsque notre voiture est tombée en panne. Cela permet aussi de pouvoir déjeuner ou dîner à proximité de la cuisine faite maison dans une ambiance chaleureuse si on le souhaite ! Ainsi, nous avons pu notamment y dîner lors de notre arrivée (relativement tardive). Stella nous avait aussi proposé de mettre à notre disposition quelques produits pour notre premier petit déjeuner, ce qui était très appréciable. La piscine est charmante et atypique : comme un lagon, elle descend en pente douce jusqu'à une profondeur d'1,4 m. Fin octobre, sa température était encore agréable. Les fruits exotiques qui poussent aux environs immédiats de la villa ajoute encore au charme des lieux ! Chaque chambre a sa propre salle de bain, avec des toilettes et il y a des toilettes supplémentaires dans la pièce à vivre. Les couchages sont confortables.

Aucun point négatif. Nous avons très envie d'y retourner !

Everything was amazing. The pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful villa, pool and hosts. Location was great too. They have now added a large lean to and comfy outdoor seating area, which gives you plenty of shade if needed through out the day. The pool is clean and well maintained, it is also bigger then it looks in the photos. You can walk in from the shallow end down to deep end (not deep enough for diving). We enjoyed resting in the shallow part and watching the kids. You have full access to the tavern that is behind the villa. This is also run by the hosts, has great food and is well priced. The tavern has is no music on during the day and voices can only be heard gently from the villa. They have installed a gate which provides privacy and extra security. Lovely secluded area but still close to other amenities. 5 minutes walking distance to the bus stop. 616B will take you to the Coral Bay bus station (we did also walk this in about 20 mins) and then the 615 to Pathos station. Super easy and reliable service. You can also walk down to the shipwreck and sea caves within 15-20 mins. The villa has plenty of sunbeds, seating areas, fully equipped kitchen, pool and shower towels were provided, all en suite bedrooms with builtin wardrobes. Stella and Micheal (Hosts) were amazing, extremely helpful and friendly and even gave us lifts to the supermarket. Can't wait to go back.

We enjoyed every part of our holiday here. If i had to pick one thing it would be the the 616B bus service. Purely because it is not as regular as the 615.... It didn't cause an issue, we just needed to be aware of timings. The bus driver was amazing and super friendly, she let me take a photo of her schedule.
