Located on the hillside, Ploes Villas, situated in Skafidia, offer panoramic Ionian Sea views. Leventochori Beach is 50 metres away.
“Initial meet up: We were met by the hosts, Panos & Eftychia, in order to give us the keys and show us around the property.
Indoors: The kitchen is fully equipped for a family that wants to self cater (large super market is 10mins drive), and if one needs something more Eftychia is always around to provide it (eg she provided us with a pressure cooker for our stay). The two rooms are spacious with a minimal and pleasing decoration. The beds are big and comfortable, all with side tables and lights next to them. There are electrical window shutters and mosquito nets in all the windows, although, even outdoors, the mosquitoes were not such a big issue (although wearing some kind of insect repellent is advised - as everywhere during the Greek summer).
Outdoors: There is a huge lawn/grass garden at the front with an amazing top view of the sea and with exceptional views of the horizon and the sunset. At the back, there is a garden with a variety of fruit trees and vegetables that are endemic to the area (the hosts kindly presented us with tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, figs, spearmint to name just a few and the kids enjoyed picking up figs on their own).
Beach: The beach is sandy and the waters are very clean and quite shallow, very kid friendly. Access to the beach is through a very nice small "natural corridor" through the surrounding trees, and involves going down 99 steps in total. The steps are grouped as 5-10 and there is straight walking in between such group of steps, so that going up from the beach to the property is not tiresome. The beach is practically private as there is no access other than through Ploes from one side and through a nearby hotel on the other. Every villa has a designated umbrella with 4 relaxing sea beds at the beach, in order to enjoy your stay at the shade.
Overall, we had a lovely stay at the Ploes villas and hope to be lucky to be back soon!
Thank you very much Panos and Eftychia for being wonderful hosts!”
