We had an amazing stay in Villa Lithia. The house was very clean and well equipped, with all the utensils and cutlery you'd expect to find at home, plus nice touches like the Nespresso coffee machine which we used to start every day. The owner Anastasia had thought of every little detail, which made the villa much more practical and liveable than many 'home from home' rentals. For example, the store cupboard was full of mosquito coils, candles and cleaning products. On a more luxurious level, the bathrooms included Elemis bath gels, shampoos and handy details like cotton buds and shower caps. These aren't our abiding memories of the villa, or course, and the real appeal is the tranquility of the country setting and amazing views. We frequently ate breakfast and dinner at the outside table, enjoying views of the pool and surrounding countryside looking across to a distant, picturesque, village. The area is peaceful and if you enjoy hiking you can follow a path nearby through the olive groves. We loved the pool area and spend many mornings lying on the sun beds underneath the trees. We travelled with three children, one of them 18 months old. Anastasia had made sure we had everything we needed for our baby (cot, high chair, mosquito net, baby paddling pool and a nappy bin). She also surprised our two older kids with some board games and beach toys. The kitchen had everything you need in order to make a family meal, the villa has also an amazing BBQ area. There's even a running machine! You're in the countryside, of course, so come prepared to deal with mosquitoes, larger insects and the like, but - as we say - the house is fully equipped with candles and sprays, plus every door has a full size sliding fly net so you can allow breeze to circulate without letting in any bugs. We would definitely stay again, and loved how instantly liveable the villa was, and how attentive Anastasia was to our needs, and so welcoming and friendly.
