Enjoyed Most:
Overall the experience was great. The villa had good space to accomodate both family members and guests. It was clean, comfortably furnished and the view was spectacular. The staff was attentive and did everything they could to make us welcome. Nice touches were the fresh fruit and flowers as well as the small plate of fruit and cookies left each evening. The cooking was superb and beautifully presented. Fred went out of his way to seek our preferences and try to tailor the menus to our tastes. Most meals were outside overlooking the sea, which is hard to beat.
Unpleasant Surprises:
My least favorite aspect to the villa was the fact that we were unable to walk to town and had to drive to do anything which I suppose is the tradeoff for the view and location.

Overall:
It is on the top 5 vacation's I've ever taken, and one of the best villas I've ever rented. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Enjoyed Most:
The comfortable villa!! Felt like home and the staff made it even more perfect.
Unpleasant Surprises:
Can't think of a thing.
Surrounding Area:
We traveled the surrounding area every day. I almost wish we could have spent more time at the villa but there is so much to do, so many great little villages to visit.
Tips or Restaurants:
We celebrated Christmas there so we brought along all that kind of thing. Everything is there, so you don't need anything, and if you do, Fred and staff are so accommodating to find it for you.
