We did ask for our room to be cleaned and only the bed was made - they did not remove used drink glasses, wipe surfaces, or replenish the coffee pods for our espresso machine.

"We visited this villa for a family celebration as 3 couples, it was everything described and more and was large enough to everyone to have their own personal space if needed! The attention to detail was exceptional with everything you needed to make a perfect holiday. It was a short drive (about 1.5k) to marathi for a few restaurants, this could be walked but the roads are not lit and very hilly. Vicky the cleaner was lovely and did an excellent job and we even had a beautiful warm home made sweet pie delivered for breakfast one morning. Would definitely recommend to anyone seeking that touch of luxury for a perfectly relaxing holiday"

10/10 Excellent
"If you book Villa Elihrisos you will not be disappointed. It had wonderful country views at the back of property with the sea in the distance. It was very peaceful.The property and pool were very well maintained and clean. We were a family of 7 staying at the villa. We enjoyed the location to the nearby beaches especially the lovely Kalathas beach which had lots of beach chairs and a good snack bar. We were able to walk to three tavernas that were in very close proximity to the villa. All had good food quality and were of good value.When I booked the villa back in September 2025, communication was excellent with Katerina which continued through until we left. It was so personal to meet her and her mother Olga on our arrival at the villa. On the day of leaving her mother was there to say her goodbyes with a small gift. Nothing was too much trouble for Katerina. She was most informative and always happy to help. An excellent host.We would say that for us a car was essential particularly in the August heat. There were two good local supermarkets which were walkable but not if you had to carry supplies back to the villa. We did not cook in the villa but there appeared to be a very clean Barbecue and Pizza oven outside near the pool with a large communal table and chairs. We enjoyed sitting outside of a warm evening on the patio furniture. It was a good quality villa."
