Villa Evi

I stayed at Villa Evi with some family in July 2023, and the accommodation and service was amazing. We stayed in the luxury 2 bed villa with a private pool, and it was well worth it. The bathrooms are modern and well looked after. The bedrooms were a good size with decent storage space. The outside area and pool has amazing views, the pool water was a good temperature warmed up by the weather and the size of the pool was good. At night the pool was lit up which created a nice vibe. Security patrolled the grounds on an evening, so we felt safe waiting for a taxi at night and returning late. Evi and her husband are great hosts. Evi was very responsive when we messaged her on WhatsApp for any assistance, from ordering taxis to ordering food. We recommend ordering breakfast from the place Evi shared (Nineteen 75), the omelettes and fresh orange juice were amazing. The villa has a kitchen where you can make your own food. The Flora supermarket by the airport is worth a visit, it’s convenient to do your food shop, stock up on water, and has a great vibe. Be prepared to pay for taxis everywhere you go if you don’t hire a car. It was usually €36 one way to anywhere we went, we were around 10-15mins drive from most places we wanted to go. Platis Gialos beach is recommended if you want to try a public beach where the sun beds don’t need booking way in advance, and you can walk out quite far into the water which was nice, the water is very clear. I’m someone who does my research and reads reviews before booking accommodation so I hope this review helps you plan your holiday and decide to stay at Villa Evi. When I was looking for somewhere to stay Villa Evi wasn’t appearing at the top of the searches so I’m glad I found it and didn’t settle for some of the other options which were over priced and did not have an amazing pool and peaceful views like we did. We saved some money booking direct too. A nice villa with a pool and views, good service and location is what I was looking for, and is what I got by staying at Villa Evi.

The bathrooms, showers and all taps in the villa have salt water instead of regular water which I found uncomfortable. They didn’t mention this before. The villa is a little bit pretty but the communication from the staff is a bit aggressive. The property seems like it was built quite fragile and cheap. The security sometimes walks inside the villa and stares. The cleaning lady bangs on your door early in the morning and doesn’t budge or respect your privacy. I recommend this property for young teenagers who don’t care about luxury at all and want to have fun and party. It’s nice for pictures.
