Olivia Villas

Chrysa was the most welcoming host, always ready to help with anything and happy to share tips about the island. The house was super clean and had great amenities. We were five friends staying for a week, and we'd definitely return as soon as we get the chance.

Chrysa was professional and efficient, and the apartment was clean the whole time we stayed there during the summer. But the place didn't quite live up to what we expected. It felt small, dark, and overpriced for what it offers. The road outside is very busy, with constant traffic noise, so sleeping with the windows open wasn't possible. The entrance and parking also felt risky. The property sits just past a bend, and cars race by. Once, as I was stepping outside, a car sped past and gave me a scare. Getting into the parking area wasn't easy either, since you have to cross both lanes, which didn't feel safe with that much traffic. Overall, it lacked the relaxed, comfortable feel you'd hope for on a summer island stay.

The village had good restaurants and the quiet we were hoping for. There are grocery shops, a bakery, and more restaurants nearby, though you'll need a car to get to them. The apartment itself was luxurious, spacious, comfortable, and very clean, and Chrysa was lovely and helped us with everything. We stayed for four days. This side of the island has gorgeous beaches and breathtakingly varied landscapes. The country roads are wild and astonishing, with some dirt stretches that need careful driving, but the beauty of nature makes that drawback worthwhile. If you enjoy peace, untamed nature, adventure, and hospitality, stay here and explore by car.

The villa, terrace, and balcony made a perfect home for us while travelling around Raches. Chrysa's hospitality and the way she looked after everything we needed made the vacation unforgettable. One of the best stays we've ever had. Highly recommended!
