We have been regular visitors to the Emelisse Hotel in Fiscardo for many years, and whilst at the hotel in July we were shown round the 3 new villas by Haris who is rightly proud of what he has created - they looked lovely so we booked a week in September. The villas are very private and quiet, set in lovely gardens, with excellent views over the harbour. The patio/pool area is a good size with full sun and includes a barbecue area. Inside the accommodation is very good both in terms of style and quality. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the lower level with the living/kitchen area being on the upper level to maximise the view from the spacious balcony (which proved to be a beautiful setting for breakfast in the morning watching the boats setting out to sea, but also for a late night drink looking across to the lights of the restaurants across the harbour). A lot of thought has gone into fitting out the villas and numerous little touches (like the binoculars provided to better enjoy the views) demonstrating the attention to detail. The restaurants and bars of Fiscardo are no more than a 5 minute walk away so the position is perfect. I would struggle to find anything to criticise - we were very well looked after by Haris, Joanna, Andreas and Maria. They were always there to help but never intrusive. Thank you.
The villa is very attractive and well laid out. Very fresh and clean in a beautiful location. We were extremely well looked after by the very talented Mrs Anna and her nephew.
We had a wonderful holiday and the family reunion was a complete success! The villa is nice with minimalist style and comfortable and the location is great! All the services ( cook, maids, photographer) were perfect. Thanks to you all!
Mary's house in Epidavros is a beautiful retreat that offered us the privacy and luxury to relax as a family. The house is very clean, comfortable, extremely well equipped, and well located to explore further afield if you so desire. From the moment we arrived we were warmly greeted by Mary, shown around the property, and also given an welcome pack that far exceeded our expectations; the quality was very high and was much appreciated after a long journey as it saved us taking a trip to find provisions. This was the theme for the rest of the property as we discovered with the toiletries left for us to use, towels and linen, the furniture inside and outside the property, and the grounds all being of a high standard. The highlight for us was the outside area that we used for dining, and of course the pool that both children (aged 7 and 4) loved. The water was clean, clear and a perfect temperature. It got used a lot! Epidavros itself is a nice little town, with plenty of amenities including many bars, restaurants and shops. The local beaches tend to be pebbles rather than sand, though the best beach in the area was right below the property, which offered more sand than others, easy access to the water and safe swimming for our children. There are also nice places to drink and eat here too. There are a number of archaeological sites nearby, and it's also within easy access if you want to explore quaint fishing villages, and within c.45mins of Poros (also a lovely island) where you can take a ferry to other places. We visited Hydra from here - highly recommended for a day-trip and cost €68 for a return trip for the family (30 mins each way from Poros). If you fancy something more adventurous then there is plenty to do; we opted for walking and climbing with Methana Volcano and Devil's Bridge close by (both great for kids). The grounds of the house are tended to daily by Kostas who knows the local area very well, speaks excellent English and was most helpful during our stay. He is a lovely and very kind man and both children loved seeing him every morning. If you do decide to stay here, and we recommend that you do, then you will need a car as the house is a few minutes drive from the town.
La location de Maria fut parfaite: - emplacement : vue formidable sur Epidaure, qui est un bon point de départ pour la côte Est du Péloponnese. - accueil de Maria : Fantastique, très généreuse et attentionnée. - equipement: complet (machine à laver le linge par ex.), aucune mesquinerie, tout est fourni. - divers: la piscine (non sécurisée) avec une vue incroyable, attenante au lieu de vie. Le tout est formidablement pratique et facile à vivre. Recommandé pour famille ou groupe d'amis. Seuls inconvénients, une volée de quelques marches + piscine non sécurisée (comme partout en Grèce? )
