    The host was helpful before, during and at the end of our stay. It was in a quiet area with a pool that was cleaned every day. There was lots of space and the gardens were very attractive. There was plenty of parking

    Lovely location 1 mile out of Sami meant it was v quiet and nice walk into town. A few chainsaws and goat bells but that is rural greece.
