Sehr schöner Aufenthalt!

Sehr schönes, für vier Personen ideales, Ferienhaus an Ortsrandlage mit kleinem aber zum Abkühlen und Spaß haben idealen Pool. Der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Darüber hinaus gab es Kuchen von seiner Mutter, Eier, hervorragendes, eigenes Olivenöl... sehr herzlich alles gewesen. Das Haus war sauber; die Einrichtung passend. Ok, eine Spülmaschine wäre im Urlaub ganz nett; ging aber auch so... Im Dorf ist immer Leben; dort gibt es noch einen kleinen Einkaufsladen, welchen wir gerne unterstützt haben. Die direkt unterhalb des Hauses verlaufende Straße ist wenig befahren und störte uns nicht. Zum Strand fährt man ca. zehn Minuten. Dort hat es auch einige empfehlenswerte Gastronomien. Wir waren wirklich gerne in Rodakino/Pura Vida und kommen irgendwann mal wieder...

Keurig net verblijf op een prachtige locatie

Enorm genoten van alles in en rondom het huis wat op een heel mooie plek gelegen is. Gezellige plaatsjes in de buurt, mooie strandjes en supervriendelijke mensen. Qua natuur een indrukwekkende omgeving om te verkennen! We werden verwend met allerlei lekkers. Hele goede herinneringen aan ons verblijf in Rodakino.

Excellent séjour avec propriétaire au top !

Très jolie maison, bien équipée, au calme à l'entrée du village. Accès à la plage rapide et des visites aux alentours. Le propriétaire est charmant et aux petits soins pour ses locataires ( bouteille à l'arrivée et d'autres délices pendant le séjour 😀). Piscine très agréable et nettoyée tous les jours. Un grand merci pour l'accueil et la convivialité à M. Vangelis

Family holiday

What a lovely villa in the hills! The presentation, cleanliness and attention to detail was very good. The owner welcomed us on arrival and we had excellent communication throughout the stay. Regular cleans and the pool was kept spotless. The villa is not far from the beach 1.5km, but it is down a steep hill which the kids would not have managed on foot in the heat. However, the beach by the 3 Tavernas is beautiful, sandy, clean and lovely for snorkelling. The tavernas all have good local fresh food at good prices. The snack bar was great, cheap and the staff so friendly. The bonus for the accommodation from the kids point of view was the smart TV and air con which worked well. Make sure you look at the night sky when the lights go out… so many stars! Wonderful family time away in a great villa.
