Villa Pilali

Frauke & Ody’s place felt like a home from home. On arrival they gave us a very warm welcome and showed us around the house. At the front of the house are stunning views of the hills and valley, with the port of Agia Efimia in the distance. There’s a lovely big table on the front porch to enjoy the views at meal times. The house itself has an impressive open-plan kitchen/living room space with a super high ceiling. (A converted cheese factory.) The 3 bedrooms are nicely spaced apart, with the 2 downstairs being at either ends of the house (with 2 bathrooms in-between them). And the third, loft style room upstairs with an en-suite and mini balcony. The whole house has an airy, contemporary feel, whilst maintaining the atmosphere of a cosy home. Frauke & Ody also have a decent speaker/sound system which we put to good use :) The house is situated on a quiet road alongside a handful of other houses. There’s a small pool and wee patio with 4 loungers at the back of the house. For a delicious, traditional Greek meal, head to The Black Sheep. An intimate and atmospheric family-run taverna just a 10 minute walk away. Another great local spot for brunch/lunch is a 5 min drive (or 20ish min walk - albeit all roadside) to Myrtillo cafe. It looks unassuming from the outside but has a lovely big hidden garden out back. ‘Grandma’s eggs’ - dee-lish. We bumped into Frauke & Ody in a bar down in Agia Efimia one afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed their company. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and were happy for us to pick their brains for tips on all of the hot spots. Thank you Frauke & Ody for being hosts with the mosts. Hope to see you again one day. Love Liz, Robert, Anna & Adam xxxx

Nothing we did not like.

The Villa was an oasis up on a hill with a constant breeze but close enough to access everything. The hosts were lovely and the facilities perfect.

We loved it all, no complaints.

Everything, accommodation was better than advertised

N/a

Beautiful house Fully equiped (towels for the swimming pool for example, coffee) Very quiet Well located in the island Very helpul hoste

No black curtain in the biggest room to avoid sunlight in the morning

Such a beautiful villa with a private pool - modern, stylish, roomy and comfortable. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Wonderfully kind hosts who introduced themselves when we arrived and who gave advice and recommendations about places to eat and about beaches and places to visit. We have been quite frequent visitors to the island but this is the first time that we have taken a sailing to Ithaca - which we took from Agie Efimia and which we enjoyed very much. This has been a great place to stay.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like.
