PENINSULA. Unique villa on the edge of the Plaka coast of Almyrida.

Best holiday house ever!
The villa pictures indeed placed the bar high - the infinity pool, the amazing view etc - and I was somewhat ready to be disappointed on arrival. It seemed it was just a bit too good to be true. Then my wife and I arrived and it turned out the house was even better than described. This is a truly amazing place, the best house we've ever stayed in - and we have stayed in some remarkable ones. I cannot recommend it enough. We ended up spending 90% of our holiday in and by the villa because honestly, why leave for excursions if you're already in paradise? Adding to the villas incredible location, unbeatable views, complete privacy, amazing patio and pool, is also how truly well equipped it is. Beautifully furnished with high quality appliances and a kitchen that left you want for nothing (especially important for me since I love cooking when on holiday). Everything top standard, clean and high quality. Having the villa all to ourselves was incredible but the house would be just as perfect for a larger party or family. Our host Carina made sure we had all we needed and was so helpful in every way. Again, a truly amazing experience that we will keep treasuring and keep recommending. Thank you SO much!

Stunning sea views
Well equipped, comfortable villa, large pool perfect for swimming & admiring the view from the infinity end which Id suggest is unrivalled. BBQ area was acceptable but in my opinion not up to the standard of other areas. The metel framed sunbeds were not suitable for me as I have mobility issues however the owner provided their personal wooden sunbeds which are slightly higher & more stable. Very friendly & helpful owner & housekeeper. Very pleasant two weeks in June

Simply Stunning!
The Peninsula is absolutely stunning. The pictures really do not do it justice, the views are breathtaking from every angle. It’s position is truly special, very quiet but a short drive to the lovely village of Plaka. A car is essential but the roads are good. The property is fitted out to the highest standard and is fully equipped, everything was well thought out. Carina and Alexandra were both super helpful and any enquiries/questions were answered straight away. We cannot wait to go back there!!

Magnifique villa avec vue incroyable
Très belle maison conforme aux descriptions excepté le menage fait une seule fois dans la semaine contrairement à ce qui est annoncé. Seul bémol sur la piscine : éclairage inopérant non réparé et entretien invisible (eau trouble en fin de semaine) malgré notice et relance.

A great holiday
The house is lovely, really provides a homy feeling, and the view is spectacular. It also provides great privacy. The area is great, lots of amenities close by. We had 1 or 2 issues during our stay but the service provided by Alexandra and her team was amazing: quick answers and solutions at any time of the day. 100% recommended.
