10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
Thank you to the host. The villa is incredible
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
We had an incredible stay at Villas Anenomilos. we stayed for one week however could have stayed a lot longer. The facilities at the villa are perfect, you have everything you need. The sunset each night was amazing.
We rented a vehicle but the local taxi company was also very reliable whenever we needed it, despite there being 18 of us. There are beautiful beaches nearby with bars and restaurants.
Our host was very friendly and let us stay beyond the normal check out time as we had a late flight that evening.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2022
Myself and my family (19 in total) stayed here in July / August. The villa and grounds are lovely.
The hosts were very nice and made check in / out very easy.
As the villa is comprised of 4 completely separate apartments, it was difficult to cook for a large group, we had to cook in the kitchens in each apartment and then bring food & drink down etc, it's a pity there's not a proper kitchen in the communal area as this would have made things much easier.
The property manager was excellent, he arranged such things as a chef to come and cook for us, a boat trip and made restaurant reservations, all of which were excellent.
Just a note, if you're following sat nav to the villa, it may try and take you up a gravel road on your right when you're approx a mile away. I would highly recommend that you ignore it and carry on along the tarmac road. The gravel road is extremely steep and our people carrier couldn't get up it without unloading all the passengers and luggage!
All in all a good stay.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2022
We have just spent a fabulous week at Villas Anenomilos. 3 families together, with 6 adults and 8 kids across 11 - 17 age range. We werent quite sure whet to expect but all our hopes were surpassed. Easy location to access beaches, shops, cultural sites; very friendly and flexible host; facilities on site were excellent; great views - the perfect venue for a large/mixed group holiday. We will be back!
