Guest Experience: “We enjoyed our stay in this villa. It is somewhat remote which we liked. Around the villa, there are no other houses and so you can experience real silence here. The villa is well equipped and nicely decorated. The garden is pleasant and you get the view of the surrounding mountains. It is a 10 km drive on a very curvy and narrow road to get to the house. But otherwise it is very easy to get to any island attractions from there.” - Martin S (HomeAway.com)
