Feelings instead of testimonials

Reviews

Very nice house! The view is breathtaking especially during the sunset. Wonderfull nights on the balcony with the stars, nice temperature for summer,no humidity and no mosquitos….Although it’s a bit far away from the port, the location is splendid and quiet,helps you rest…. and you have some very nice beaches around as Clima ,said the best beach of the island. In the house you feel more as a guest than a client, everything is organised with care and good taste. The owners and people working for the house were so kind and kept the house really clean. Small details as espresso machine (capsules offered), well equipied kitchen with everything you need, barbeque, Netflix on tv…..You can feel the owner’s thought everywhere! Xanthi a big bravo for your house!!! We would certainly choose it again for a stay at Aegina.

The location’s view is a feast! The villa is new, spacious and private, and the infinity pool was regularly maintained. The property manager, Michalis, was very accommodating and professional with our requests and responds quickly to communications.

This is probably one of the more difficult reviews I’ve had to write, because I’m finding it difficult to find the right words to express what a wonderful stay we’ve had at this home. I’ll let you read up on the magical island of Spetses on the variety of websites that describe it. All I want to say here is that it’s our second time to the island, and we’ll be back. As for the home itself, it started with the description of the property and the communication with the team managing it. The description and photos of the property do not do it justice. Also, Michalis, the manager overseeing our reservation was a pure (and prompt) delight to interact with, answering the large number of questions we had (as well as requests) thoroughly in order to help us prepare a wonderful family vacation, including restaurant reservations, boat pricing, babysitting and more. He also checked in throughout our stay to ensure we were as comfortable as possible. Michalis, thank you. As for the home itself, it can comfortably accommodate 10 people (we were 8 and barely went into the basement/game room, where there was another suite). We spent innumerable hours by the refreshing pool and in the outdoor dining area, surrounded by a blooming garden. If you plan on BBQing, better brush up on your coal lighting skills – at the end, to me, it tastes better than the gas-fired grills we have back home, just takes a bit more time. The main floor had a great entertainment area, dining area, kitchen and double room that gave us plenty of room to spread out (note, there is no A/C on the ground floor, but with a nice breeze coming through the windows and fans, we didn’t feel we needed it). The basement also had no A/C, but didn’t need it as it was cool most of the time, with a double suite, laundry amenities, and privacy for the few work calls we had to take (incidentally, internet/wi-fi was reliable). The upper levels include two double-rooms (including one master), and two single rooms, all with A/C. these rooms had wonderful views, were well-appointed, and were spacious. Overall, had we not had the rest of the island to discover, we could have easily spent the week at the house. In terms of location, you are talking a 5-7 minute walk (for fast-walkers) from one of the main squares – clock square, where there is great restaurants and shopping. The closest beach is a 10 minute walk. It’s also near transportation to get around the island whether ferry, water taxis or bus. It is also close to well-stocked supermarkets. The staff organized bringing our baggages up and down from the port when needed. Speaking of staff, that was one of the highlights of the accommodation. By the end of our trip, Eleni, Maria and Michalis all felt like family and were there for us whenever we needed, continuously available via social media (WhatsApp) and attentive to every need. We will greatly miss them, but know we’ll be back.

Michalis and Team, there are no words to say how much you enabled us to have one of the best family vacations we could have asked for. Thank you very much for every little thing you did – it didn’t go unnoticed. (Joseph – USA) I hope/will be in touch in the near future about another holiday. We loved Spetses, and we loved your team like our own family!

Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich. Zur Begrüßung waren Kekse, Kaffee, Wasser, Eiswürfel und Saft bereits im Kühlschrank. Die Kommunikation mit den Gatgebern war perfekt. Die Lage des Hauses ermöglicht einen tollen Blick auf das Meer und die untergehende Sonne.

The villa was everything we hoped for and more! We were a group of 9 and everyone has agreed that we should book the property soon again! The kitchen is fully equip, the BBQ wonderful and dining tables inside and outside (near the pool). A big thanks to our local host and cleaning lady who made sure everything was perfect!

We were a large group of 9 adults and 2 infants and the house worked perfectly for us. The location was amazing and the house and pool made for a very relaxing holiday. Maria took care of us from the moment we stepped into the island and was a huge help with transportation and excursion ideas. We would highly recommend this rental and would love to go back!

Villa Arte was wonderful! We were 2 families with 6 kids in total and it was perfect for us. The house is more of a home than a house that tries to be a hotel so it’s comfortable and welcoming. It is spacious and very clean. Our kids were in the pool most of the day and there was plenty of room to have personal space. Our host Rania could not have been more welcoming and helpful. She was at the end of a phone and help us with all our questions about the house and the island. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful week!

Dear Alexandra and Olive Villa Rentals, We had a lovely happy week in Villa Arte. It was a perfect house for us. It was very clean and comfortable. We loved that we were staying in a home rather than a house that was like a hotel. Rania could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We have 2 suggestions for you. But these would not stop us renting the house again. We suggest that air con should be put into the ground floor and basement bedrooms. We also suggest that more sun lounge cushions should be available. Ideally one for every sun lounger. Otherwise the house was perfect! Thank you so much! Camilla

We had a wonderful stay in the villa, the views are amazing, the pool was beautiful and clean and the house very roomy. We will be returning and were sorry to be leaving. Also the staff of Olive Villa Rentals were alway on hand to help if required which was great. The only small negative we would say is the sofa needs replacing as it was very uncomfortable and the TV could do with an upgrade.

Es war ein grossartiger Aufenthalt in Villa Zefi. Wir wurden verwöhnt vom guten Service. Das grosse Haus liegt nur einige Autominuten vom Hafen und bereitet auch aufgrund des grossen Pools viel Freude. Wir kommen sicherlich wieder.

”We had a great time in Tinos , the house is perfect, we felt it like home , thank you all for the good services , we will definitely recommend you to our friends…! ”

”We had a really great time in Tinos. The house was wonderful, very comfortable and clean. The only problem is that we all found the holiday too short. Thanks a lot for all your help and recommendations. We will definitely be contacting you again for our next vacation!!”

”Our recent experience of Villa Thaleia on Tinos was first class. Christina was very attentive and made us feel extremely welcome. The daily breakfast baskets are a very nice touch, especially when traveling with children. For us, the housekeeping every second day was definitely appreciated but it could easily have been every 3 days. We would definitely consider renting through your company on future trips. Well done and thank you.”

”The house was perfectly located with a unique view on the sea. We enjoyed the terrace which is a very special place, providing for a perfect protection from the wind with a beautiful view on the sea. The house is really huge with enough privacy for everybody and even when travelling with larger families. We would love to come back next year.”
