"Dariaowas an excellent host. The view over the valley was breathtaking! Breakfast was sensational with homemade bread, honey, olive oil, jam and cakes. The glass of wine and crisps was a nice touch and a wonderful treat at the end of a long day of sightseeing. Very convenient for the valley of the temples. Thank you Dario for a wonderful visit to your beautiful home."
"We stayed in a large, beautiful, and modern apartment (4 people). The balcony had a nice view of the Valley of the Temples. There were two rooms - one master bedroom and another room with two beds. Each room had its own bathroom. There was also a large couch and tv, dining table, small stove, mini fridge, microwave, and some basic kitchen furnishings. This place is nice for a family and an extended stay. "
"Self parking 🅿️ side the property was very easy, but is located after the main entrance area which has rather limited street parking in front!
View of the temples from grounds is lovely, just wish it had been warmer so we could have enjoyed being outside more!"
"Had high expectations and booked the exclusive garden villa. It was very outdated, overhead shower head broken and sprayed water, toilet seat very loose, water leaked from shower base, walk way extremely dark at night. Breakfast was not very exciting. Bedroom was tiny and nowhere to sit. "
