Villa Ariadne in Plaka is incredible! This house is literally perfect - the owners have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. The house itself is gorgeous, and so thoughtfully laid out and well appointed with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The pool and outdoor areas are stunning, creating a perfect outdoor oasis. There is even an herb garden so that guests can cook with fresh herbs every day! The beach is a short 3-5 minute walk, and Plaka beach is excellent! There was a large chest of beach toys and pool noodles that were great for my 2.5 year old. We were 3 generations - grandparents in their late 70s, me and my husband (40s), and our son (2.5), and we all loved the house. The layout - a large bedroom and bath with sea views on the top floor, then the main living level, and then 3 bedrooms/2 full baths on the lowest floor, worked perfectly for our group.
To top it off, Athena and Takis are the best hosts! They have a convenient guide that you can download on your phone, they answer questions right away, and they will go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable - they did some basic shopping for us so we could have some food when we got there, and they even found a tray of baklava for my dad's birthday. They are amazing.
This villa was a dream come true!
