Lovely, peaceful villa
The villa could not have been any better - a cosy but spacious property perfect for 1 or 2 couples or a small family. The view is divine of the surrounding mountains and sea (the villa is in the hills). Bella at Oliver’s travels was a consummate professional and guided us smoothly through the booking process. Everything could not have been better - a perfect holiday!!
