Villa Eleni Kalami with private pool by DadoVillas

We've actually stayed here twice before (albeit almost 10 years ago via a different service) and loved it, so we decided to play it safe and go again. We were not disappointed - what a genuinely gorgeous place! The hosts we met on the first day were lovely - very welcoming, friendly, and approachable. The villa itself was nothing short of spectacular. It was charming and immaculately kept, the view from the veranda was stunning, the private pool was clean and well-maintained, and the location was ideal for Kalami/surrounding areas. It was honestly the perfect holiday location and we couldn't think of a single fault with it - we all agreed we will absolutely be returning here in the future. The taverna next door (Dimitri's) was also brilliant; delicious food and a great atmosphere. Very friendly owners and staff. Despite its reasonably close proximity to the villa (30-40 yards), when you're chilling outside it's still very peaceful and we heard no major disturbances, even during busier nights. If you're on the fence about booking this place, don't be - just go for it. It's absolutely superb.

The location of the villa was lovely. It had fabulous views of the bay at Kalami. Only a 5 minute walk down a steep path (10 minutes coming back up!) to the beach, with all its super restaurants and shops.

It would have been nice to have USB ports available for charging today's modern equipment. A couple of spare blankets would also have been appreciated, as the weather was wet and cool for the first few days.
