Ostria

Peloponnese

Pretty family villa with private pool, gardens with lawn and great views over a serene bay 

View Gallery
 

Villa Ostria is a modern stone villa set on a hillside with wonderful views over the serene bay of Salandi. The villa has a garden with lawns, children's play area and a lovely private swimming pool. 

The villa is all on one level. The front entrance leads into an open plan room with vaulted ceiling. To one side is a fully equipped kitchen with dining area for 6, and to the other side a comfortable living area with various sofas and chairs centred around a corner fireplace. French windows lead out onto the main terrace overlooking the sea. There are two bedrooms. One with double bed and one with twin beds. These bedrooms both have access to the terrace. There is one large bathroom that has been totally remodelled in the last year with spacious walk-in shower and WC (new photos to be taken as soon as possible). The property has air-conditioning throughout and WIFI internet access. 

The outside areas of the property are particularly pretty. The long terrace that runs the length of the property is a wonderful spot to enjoy al-fresco dining with the use of an in-built barbecue to one side. The stone pagoda clad in bougainvillea and vines with built in sofas offers a shady retreat from which to sit back and enjoy the panoramic view of the bay below. The gardens are colourful and planted with various Mediterranean flowers and herbs with a lawn running the length of the property and a good sized swimming pool. There is a new children's play area with swings, slide and see-saw.

Salandi Bay is idyllic with still relatively few houses on the bay - Villa Ostria itself only has two neighbouring houses. The local beaches are some of the quietest in the area even in the height of the season. The nearest beach to Villa Ostria is an idyllic cove fringed by pine trees situated a few mins drive (or approx 10 mins walk from the villa - please note uphill on the way back). At the sea, there is also an excellent taverna generally open daily during the main part of the season and at weekends at other times. The traditional village of Didima with shops and tavernas set in the hills above Salandi is about 10 mins drive away and there are various pretty fishing villages within a 15 -20 min drive.

For those times when you may want to experience something more than traditional tavernas and shops, within easy driving distance there is the refined marina town of Porto Heli i(about 25 mins by car) with its sophisticated selection of restaurants, cafes and shops. The area of Porto Heli is one of Greece's little secrets. It is an exquisitely beautiful part of the Peloponnese with many private islands owned by Greece's elite and as such the local towns with their 18th and 19th Century mansions and their marinas lined with yachts offer a more exclusive selection of places to dine or shop.

The archaeological sites of Mycenae, Epidavros, Corinth, Nemea and the Frachtis Cave as well as the Venetian town of Nafplion are within easy driving distance. The unspoilt islands of Hydra and Spetses are also easily accessible in a day trip.

Salandi Bay is a quiet and traditional area and is ideal for those wanting to have a low-key, relaxing holiday with tremendous views and in peaceful surroundings, and with some culture and history thrown in.

Anne-Marie W. arrived 28th September 2024
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Villa Ostria. What a beautiful setting - the view!! We never tired of it. We adored lazing by the pool in the delightful garden and thoroughly enjoyed cooking in the evenings on the BBQ and eating outside. Everything was lovely and truly idyllic - a little slice of paradise. And thank you Marie Louise for all of your help prior and during our stay.

Sarah S. arrived 21st September 2024
We absolutely loved Villa Ostria, amazing views and the outdoor dining and barbeque area was fabulous.  We cooked on the charcoal outside every night.  The gardens are very well kept and provide a very calming enjoyable environment.  The food provisions that were provided by Kostas in the fridge were outstanding - so many fresh vegetables and fruit, eggs,  milk, bread, cheese etc.

We would definitely stay again and would recommend to others to stay there as well if they are wanting a really quiet relaxed time.  Thank you once again for holding our credit, it was really appreciated and would highly recommend booking through Pretty Greek Villas as you have been really helpful and pleasant to deal with.

T.Jeff. arrived 4th September 2024
We had a lovely time. Everyone at PGV was brilliant - so responsive and helpful, thank you. The recommendations and pack you sent were helpful. The directions were good too. The house itself is lovely, very well equipped and the welcome pack was FANTASTIC. The pool was clean - in fact everything was immaculate and we appreciated the lady coming in to clean during the holiday. The nearby taverna is quite far away (I wouldn't say it's within easy walking distance). Overall though a lovely break away thank you.

 

Taryn & Family arrived 24th August 2024
Thank you. It was truly incredible. 

Elaine K. arrived 2nd August 2024
We had a really enjoyable stay at Villa Ostria. As you know, we stayed there two years ago and I am sure we will be back again at some point. We find it a very relaxing place, the view is spectacular and the garden and pool are perfect. It is spotlessly clean inside and out and we greatly appreciate the amount of fruit, vegetables, drinks etc that are left for us......

Overall, we had just the experience we were hoping for. It’s a lovely little house looked after beautifully and we felt very lucky to be there. Also, It was very kind of Kostas to let us leave for the airport three hours later than normal. We appreciated that. 

When we want to come to Greece again, we will definitely look at PGV first.

Z. Cassidy arrived 14th June 2024
Villa Ostria was stunning, in particular the outdoor area which was immaculately maintained with a beautiful view. The midweek cleaning was a nice touch and we loved having a generously full fridge when we arrived.

Sarah D-M arrived 6th June 2024
We had a lovely time; the Villa is super - very comfortable and easy and of course a stunning view.  The fridge contents on arrival were a lovely surprise! particularly given that it is not too close to the shops!  We loved the surrounding area and explored on the water and off it - and Porto Heli and Kilada were charming.  So a big thank you for suggesting this villa to us and also a big thank you for all your Athens information too as we had a super time there on our whirlwind tour exploring and using your info as our guide!! We have appreciated the personal service that yourself and Pretty Greek Villas provides - particularly in today's world of not being able to talk to anyone in person, it is such a pleasant and welcome experience!  So thank you.

Sarah Mc. arrived 18th May 2024
We had a truly wonderful week - Villa Ostria is very special and absolutely nothing I would change. 
Thank you for all your help and special thanks to Kostas for his amazing generosity with filling the fridge ready for our arrival.

We really hope that we will come back one one soon.

Debbie I. arrived 30th Sept 2023
We have had another wonderful stay and hope to return next year

Emma B. arrived 23rd Sept 2023
We have just returned from a wonderful week in Villa Ostria. The view was absolutely beautiful and we spent many days relaxing in the garden and enjoying the pool. The Villa was very well equipped and Kostas, the owner, kindly met us and showed us around. He also very generously left lots of fresh food and drinks in the fridge to get us started. The Villa is in a rural location but it was quiet and peaceful. We hired a car so we could drive to local towns and villages for dinner. A visit to Spetses was also well worth it.

We would like to thank Kostas and PGV for a wonderful holiday, making the booking process very easy. Would highly recommend! 

Theo P. arrived 16th Sept 2023
Experience with PGV was generally good. Communication strong as well sharing relevant info about property.

On the villa, generally very nice and positive. Kostas the host was very helpful and accommodating, it was spotless on arriving and outdoor cleaning was thorough through the week. The welcome pack in the fridge was a really lovey surprise, and the outdoor cooking facilities were also great. A few downsides to the stay, with no major attribution of blame or fault: a little further to the beach than we’d expected, local roads were a bit of a state.

Hope that covers it and thanks for your service and support!

Jackie S. arrived 8th July 2023
We are having a fantastic time thank you & the villa is fabulous!

Barbara H. arrived 2nd October 2022 

The villa  was totally amazing with lovely views and lots of different outside areas to enjoy - the shaded veranda with lounge furniture, the BBQ area with bar seating and table as well as the sun loungers and outside dining area.  We very much appreciated the very generous welcome pack with a full fridge of all sorts of lovely foods and drinks as well as cupboards containing all kinds of useful ingredients.  We were also pleased that there was plenty of things like toilet paper and kitchen towel as well as oil and vinegar, salt & pepper etc..  The villa,
especially the kitchen, was very well equipped and Kostas has clearly thought of some excellent additional touches like the wired in outside sound system.

There are other villas in the local area, but not too many and they are scattered around so there is a sense of space and privacy.  We swam at the local beach (small pebbles) almost every day.  The water was very clean with lots of fish swimming about.  We went to Hydra and Spetses islands, Porto Chelli, Kilada (great fresh fish shop), Epidavros and walked through the Katafiki Canyon.  We also visited Nafplion and Mycenae on our way back home.  So there's plenty to do in the area - or just chill and relax around the lovely infinity pool.

We have rented some lovely villas over many years in various European countries and the US.  This was the best so far.  Exceptional - 10 out of 10 without a doubt!

Thanks again for all your helpful communications throughout the process from booking to now.

Deirdre G. arrived 17th September 2022 

It is beautifully appointed and clean, and well maintained (especially the garden and pool area) and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing by the pool and using the barbecue. The local beach was very good for swimming.  

All the arrangements for travelling to Ostria went according to plan and the Helicars representatives were friendly and helpful.  Having a rental car was important as the villa is somewhat off the beaten track.  We were able to visit Mycenae and Epidavros which we enjoyed and found very interesting.

Vassilis did an excellent job of transferring us from and to the airport, arriving promptly and very good company on the drives.

The most impressive thing about the villa was the absolutely marvellous welcome pack provided by Kostas.  It included a large range of delicious fruit and vegetables, drinks, barbecue meat, cheese, butter and eggs.  That made the week much easier as we could prepare breakfasts and a few meals without having to drive to a village for every meal.

Many thanks for all the arrangements made by PGV.  It was another excellent holiday in Greece!

Monika B. arrived 7th September 2022 

My parents really loved the villa and the whole vacation. Many thanks.

Adina C. arrived 28th August 2022 

We enjoyed our stay. Ostria is breathtaking and secluded, the views, the atmosphere, the garden.
For us the trip is worth it for the quiet and the fact that it is not a turistic destination and you can really escape it all.

Mike H. arrived 14th August 2022 

We had a wonderful time at the villa. Thank you.

Elaine K. arrived 6th August 2022 

We thoroughly enjoyed our much anticipated holiday in Greece. Both houses worked well but we particularly liked Villa Ostria. I’m sure we will be back! Thank you for all your help in organising our holiday. We were thoroughly impressed by your efficiency. We will recommend you to our friends without hesitation. 

Emily M. arrived 30th July 2022 

Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful holiday at Ostria! It was such a beautiful and comfortable villa, we enjoyed every moment of our week there. The setting is lovely, very tranquil and the view of the bay was stunning. The villa itself was perfect for our family - we all thought it was the best villa we have stayed in over the years.

We really appreciated the generous surprise of finding the fridge stocked with provisions when we arrived. It was also great to have a change of towels and bedding mid-week.

We would be delighted to have the opportunity to book a holiday with Pretty Greek Villas in future. We loved the area and the chance to explore the islands of Spetses and Hydra. 

Marcus R. arrived 23rd July 2022 

Just to let you know we really loved our stay at Villa Ostria. Our feedback is as follows.
Amazing setting, views, pool, cleanliness, presentation and layout. We thought the info prior to arriving was spot on and the welcome pack in the fridge was above and beyond anything we have had in the past. 

Sarah L. arrived 9th July 2022 

We loved it!!  Villa Ostria was a blissful escape- such a beautiful position and very well equipped with everything you might need. It is so tastefully done and the pool was beautiful. We spent hours lounging in bougainvillea shade by the pool, swimming in crystal clear sea and dining in the local taverna. We are refreshed and sad to be heading home.

William D. arrived 11th June 2022 

I just wanted to thank you for a really wonderful week in Villa Ostria. Thank you, too, for talking us in to meet Kostas on our first day when we overshot by some distance! You were very patient with us. Could you please pass onto Kostas how grateful we were for the amazingly well stocked fridge, some of which we couldn’t get through as we were lazy and ate out every evening. It really was a wonderful welcome. All in all the villa was brilliantly well stocked in all areas. That view will keep us going for ages!

Phillip R. arrived 29th May 2022 

Thank you so much for a truly memorable 10 days in Villa Ostria from 29 May to 8 June.  We had not visited the Peloponnese region of Greece before, and we found it delightfully peaceful and scenic.  Villa Ostria was just the haven of tranquillity for which we had hoped, and we thoroughly enjoyed the villa, gardens, pool, various seating and eating areas, and the excellent barbecue kitchen.  The extensive sea views brought us pleasure every day, and to be able to see them from the master bedroom each morning was wonderful.

Kostas filled the large fridge with provisions for our arrival, and the quantity and variety of food which he provided was particularly generous.  Although he was busy driving his taxi when we arrived at the meeting point near Didyma, he quickly arranged for his friend - also Kostas - to meet us and take us to the villa and give us a full introduction to the facilities.  We phoned Kostas to thank him before we left, but I hope that you will forward this email to him, so that he knows how much we appreciated his hospitality.

We will remember our holiday very fondly, and thank you for all the arrangements.  It was undoubtedly worth the two-year wait since we first booked it before the Covid pandemic.

Frankie C. arrived 4th May 2022 

The villa was great, we loved it. Comfortable, well equipped and a beautiful view.

Pauline F. arrived 9th April 2022 

Thanks for your email, we had a fabulous time. We had 2 nights in Athens then hired a car and drove to the villa. Directions were great and the meeting arrangements all worked. Kostas had stocked the fridge and pantry which was really kind. The villa was lovely and the pool was cold but we got in!  No taverna but we weren’t expecting it to be open. Would def recommend you and hopefully we will be back!

Pamela R arrived 4 Sept 2021 

The villa was amazing.

Debbie I. arrived 28 August 2021 

Thanks for your email and the service was excellent from yourselves

Paul G. arrived 31 July 2021 

We thought Villa Ostria was amazing. The location was stunning, the kids loved the pool, and everything worked perfectly.

Adina C arrived 9th Sept 2020 

we still have some miles to go before we are home but I just wanted to reassure you that you have found loyal clients in me and my family. the villa was perfect with all that it promised and more, Kostas was a wonderful and generous host and and we couldn t be happier. I hope hefound everything in order back there. I will spend the winter looking once more through your offers and probably choosing Ostria yet again.thanks again for all your help and support.

Adina

Fakirova family arrived 1st August 2020 

Me and my family spent two wonderful weeks at Villa Ostria. The villa was exquisite, with great location and especially lovely outdoor space. Kostas was so kind and friendly. We arrived late in the evening and yet, our fridge was fully stocked, which came as a very pleasant surprise.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to spend our holiday at such a great place!

Could you tell me, please, where I can write a review?

We would love to stay at your Pretty Villas in the future. Having said that, when do you start next year’s reservations?

 Thank you once again and Best Regards!

Adina C. arrived 31th Aug 2019

The villa is superb and this is by far the best holiday we have had in a
long time. The owner was so generous with first day food supplies and his house is a gem!
Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!!!

Adina

 

 

Joanne F. arrived 24th Aug 2019

We had a lovely holiday thank you and no
problems with our stay at the villa . It was perfect for the 4 of us and the pool and gardens were beautiful. Rather amazing view too. Kostas met us quickly at 9:00pm at night in the dark which was really helpful as we would never have found the villa then! Lovely to have food in the fridge too - really thoughtful. The a/c was the best we have ever had overseas - relatively quiet and kept the villa at a perfect temperature all week.
Everything was perfect - as with previous clients my only comment
would be a stand in shower (if pressure allowed) rather than the bath - just easier with the kids and a quick shower after the beach. Apart from that, no complaints at all.
We would certainly recommend you and the villa for friends.

Thank you so much for all of your help and when we head back to
Greece, we will certainly be in touch.

Many thanks
Jo F.

 

Richard G. arrived 10th Aug 2019

The stay at Villa Ostria was lovely - would definitely recommend it.
Pool and outside areas are the highlight.
Also we impressed by how much Kostas put in the fridge for our arrival - a truly impressive array of food and a really nice touch.

Thanks again,
Richard and Alison

 

Ruth J. arrived 7th July 2019

We loved the villa! Everything was so well set up and clean. Have to
say probably the best we have ever rented. Having the view with the
different places outside was so lovely, and the beach so close was a real bonus. We will definitely book through you again.

Many thanks and please keep in touch.

Ruth 

Jacqueline H. arrived 8th June 2019

I have travelled extensively and I have to say the services of Pretty
Greek Villas and the accommodation was excellent!
The garden was gorgeous, it was an absolute pleasure to arrive to a fully stocked fridge as well as the arrival of a cleaner and a pool boy during our stay. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and I would certainly book with you again.

Best wishes
Jacqui

 

Rachel M. arrived 1st June 2019

We had a fantastic stay and would definitely use Pretty Greek Villas
again. Communication from start to finish has been excellent.

The villa was beautiful. The beds were great, the outdoor area and pool absolutely faultless. Just an incredible space to enjoy.
A beautiful unspoilt area, we take with us such amazing memories.

Kind regards

Rachel M.

 

Graham B. arrived 25th May 2019

Our experience of PGV was first class - very responsive and professional. It gave a feeling that you were always there if needed. Will recommend you to friends and colleagues.
Feedback for Villa Ostria.
Stunning location - so very quiet and peaceful.
The outdoors area is lovely. Green and beautifully kept with lots of different seating areas and plenty of natural shade. There is a perfect BBQ area for Alfresco dining. Views are to die for - recommend you take binoculars. The infinity pool is not the largest but is very nicely done and has a proper deep end, which we like. As others have said before, the Villa would benefit from an outdoor shower. Many would then use that as an alternative to rotating through the single bathroom.
Inside the villa is well presented and met our needs. Air con worked well when needed and decent Wi Fi kept the teens happy.
The owner, Kostas, is a nice guy and his stocking of the fridge for your arrival provides a huge amount of quality fresh produce.
You will not need to shop on the way there! Pleasing also to have the villa freshened up and laundry changed mid-week.

There are a number of small coves very close to the villa. If you don't want the walk back up the hill then it is easy to drive down and park safely off road. At the end of May we had these coves completely to ourselves. Great swimming and snorkelling. The beaches are smooth white pebble which we grew to prefer over sand.

The local taverna was welcoming. Small menu but none the worse for it as everything tasted nice and fresh. Well worth frequenting. Of larger places nearby we preferred Ermioni to Porto Cheli - plenty of restaurant/bakery choices and just a nicer place to spend the evening.

For those preferring a euro branded supermarket there is a Lidl on the road in to Kranidi

In summary a really pleasant stay. Great place for recharging the batteries and a quiet base from which to explore the area.

Best regards,

Graham B.

 

 

John F. arrived 13th Sept 2018

Our stay at Ostria was amazing, we loved the views from the villa and
the outside spaces and facilities were first class, especially the pool and barbecue area.

The amount of food and drink Kostas provided was exceptional, the
fridge was absolutely packed with very tasty items which we very much appreciated and enjoyed.

We had a very restful and thoroughly enjoyable time at Ostria and will
definitely use Pretty Greek Villas the next time we plan a holiday in Greece.

Best wishes
John

 

Gerold S. arrived 1st Aug 2018

Alan B. arrived 16th July 2018

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Villa Ostria in July and are
thinking of returning to Greece next year.

I would like to thank you for booking our stay at Villa Ostria. We
loved the villa and had a great holiday. We were also touched when we arrived to see that Kostas had filled the fridge with food. This was very kind and toughtful. In fact we hardly had to buy any fruit or vegetables the whole time we were there!

If we return to Greece we will certainly contact you. We will also
recommend you to our friends.

Best wishes,
Alan B.

What a fantastic villa. Wonderful setting in a very quiet location, which suited us well. Kostas was very helpful. The welcome pack? was out of this world! All in all we had a fabulous holiday - many thanks.

Pretty Greek Villas will certainly be our first choice in the future.

All the best
Nick and Maggie C.

Christopher McG. arrived 24th May 2018

We had a wonderful stay at your villa. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, with everything you could possibly need, provided. Kostas was amazing - the fridge was full of food (including fruit, wine, beer, cheese, water, ham, bread...) when we arrived.
We have already recommended you to our friends.

Best Wishes,
Chris

 

Freda R. arrived 19th Aug 2017

We all absolutely loved our stay at Villa Ostria! : ))) The villa was perfect in every way…….beautiful out door area with amazing views and everything you could need in side the villa and very clean. We had a wonderful relaxing time and would love to come back and stay another time! Please pass on a very big thank you to Kostas and family, and especially for all the great food which was in the fridge when we arrived, which made our stay all the more enjoyable!

Also, thanks to everyone in the officer all your great help whilst booking the villa and all the very helpful information. We will definitely consider using Pretty Greet Villas for future holidays!

Best regards,

Freda and Family

 

Stephen L. arrived 05th Aug 2017

We had a great time.
The villa was well equipped though perhaps having two loos would have been helpful.
It was great that there was food in the fridge when we arrived and
Kostas as owner was more than charming. Please do pass our thanks to him.
We loved the BBQ area and the covered seating area for lunch and
drinks to look over the bay was great.
Would recommend you add details for Drepani water skiing resort to
your information sheet yes it was 1.5hrs from Selanti Bay but the skiing was great and it was next to Poros so we got on ferry and went over there for swim etc.
We went to Lefkada with you in 2012 and am sure we will come through you again whether as family of four or as a couple.

With kind regards

Stephen

 

Simon & Debra B. arrived 29th July 2017

We had a great stay at Villa Ostria. Kostas met us as planned and the fully stocked fridge/welcome pack was exceptional.

The villa is beautiful and no pictures can fully give the view its justice. To get that view, the road up to the villa is pretty steep, so you are more likely to drive to the Beach/Taverna rather than walk during the day.

The outside area is really well planned with several places to sit and relax in (or out of) the sun and take in the surroundings as the day moves along.

The kitchen and barbecue area are well stocked with all the cooking utensils you might need.

Salandi Bay is quiet and the local Taverna has a simple but very fresh/tasty menu.

For those wanting to get away from it all this villa is a must (and the Wifi was >4Mbps which is better than home for us!).

Thank you,
Simon & Debra

 

 

 

Rob S. arrived 12th June 2017

We had a fabulous time at Villa Ostria.....
Kostas (the owner) was a charming man, and his dad (also charming) was there to welcome us and show us around. The villa was as lovely as the photos suggested, the pool was wonderful (the coloured lighting at night was amazing!), and we were delighted with all of the food supplies Kostas provided in our welcome pack!).
Salanti was a lovely bay, although clearly the economic crisis has
taken its toll, with several villas only half finished, and the nearby hotel just a shell!.
The local Taverna run by Dimitrios and Evangelina was great and the beach was perfect. Evangelina also helped us sort out a new hire car as the original one supplied didn't start the day we were at the Taverna!
We visited Porto Heli/Spetses and Nafplio on 2 separate days and bought supplies from the local shops in Didyma....everyone we met were lovely people.
Your customer service was excellent, and the instructions and local
info pack was very useful as well.
We would love to come back next year, maybe for 2 weeks.
Many thanks

Rob & Clare S.

 

Debbie Y. arrived 04th June 2017

Alex and I would love you to pass on our thanks to the owners of Villa Ostria. We've had a fabulous and relaxing stay - it's been perfect! They are extremely generous too with the fridge full of supplies when we arrived.
Thank you also to everyone at PGV who has helped us along the way - you are a fantastic operation and a pleasure to deal with.

Much appreciated
Debbie

 

David H. arrived 11th Sept 2016

We had a great time.

Kostas the owner met as arranged and we were very impressed and relieved to see the fridge fully stocked, now that's what I call a welcome pack!

WOW what a location !!!
The outside space is stunning and the pool is beautiful and the peace and tranquility make all of the above pale into insignificance.......................

Thanks and regards

David

Lucy W. arrived 5th Aug 2016

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ostria and found it extremely relaxing and peaceful. The villa was as gorgeous as it looked on your website, and very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We were surprised and delighted to find the fridge fully stocked with fruit, veg and dairy products, plus rice, pasta, coffee, olive oil etc in the cupboards. When we were concerned the pool level was dropping and contacted you, the owner arrived later that same (Sunday) evening to fix it. Everything was perfect, and next time we plan a trip to Greece we will be in contact.
Thanks so much to you and everyone
who made our holiday so
straightforward and comfortable

 

Simon H. arrived 24th July 2016

As far as our holiday is concerned I would say that we had a lovely time! In terms of the villa itself the vista was exceptional and certainly externally it was of a very good standard.

Many thanks

Siegfried S. arrived 14th May 2016

We really enjoyed our stay in Greece - it was a marvellous villa and great place to be. We are thinking about booking again next year. Nothing to complain or to change - everything was perfect! Especially the filled fridge waiting for us at our arrival was such a nice surprise. Kostas, the landlord was very hospital, helpful and friendly. We would like to thank him of the great time at his place.

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Anne T.

 

Tracey M. arrived 16th Aug 2015

We absolutely loved the holiday, the villa was perfect for us and we loved the quietness of the location. All round another fabulous family holiday - thank you.
The fully stocked fridge with, literally every food and drink needed for the week was a lovely surprise and very much appreciated!
Once again, i can happily say, we will be highly recommending you as a caring and well groomed travel company with, based on our experience, villas managed to a high standard and a true reflection the promotional material.

Sandra C. arrived 28th June 2015

We did have an excellent time, and really liked most aspects of the villa, especially its beautiful outlook and lovely terrace. It was comfortable and well looked after, and maintained to a high standard. The kind and generous provision of food in the fridge, also coffee, pasta, fruit, etc. was much appreciated.
We did have a lovely holiday.

Best wishes,
Sandra

 

Sam M. arrived 15th May 2015

I wanted to let you know what a fantastic time we had at the Villa Ostria. The villa was truly lovely and the location perfect. We all agreed that it was one of the best holidays we had ever had and that the accommodation and setting could not have been better. Truly wonderful place!
We managed to eat at the taverna most local to the villa (To Petrino) and the food was very good - and what a setting! We also ate the the taverna with no name in Kilada and this was also just superb food. Unpretentious, fresh and authentic. The beach nearest to the villa was completely deserted all week and was great for snorkelling and swimming. The fact that the fridge was stocked upon our arrival was very much appreciated and saved us having to go shopping that evening.
We managed to tear ourselves away from the pool and beach and took some trips - Epidavros, Nafplion, Porto Heli, Kranidi, Ermioni...
Thank you very much for your information and attention to detail. We were all thinking about our next trip to one of your villas next year on the way home on the plane. Me and my partner will be looking for a place to stay in September for two weeks and I shall be looking to book this soon.

Thank you again
Sam (Vicky and Katrina)

 

Grant D. arrived 29th March 2015

Booking and communication very easy and very helpful. Lots of advice given and very friendly!
Owner offered to get a few groceries in for us as we arrived on a Sunday: he filled our fridge and wouldn't accept payment! Too kind!
Villa was in a beautiful location, was very well maintained, and extremely well equipped. Don't think we've stayed in a villa with so much kitchen kit!
The outside cooking area was a real bonus and made cooking on holiday fun!
Beautiful views across the bay, crystal clear sea, pebble beach was a short walk away and totally deserted so early in the season. Climbed the hill behind the villa because we could! Took about an hour to get to the top and it was well worth it for the sense of achievement and the spectacular views.
Met the local goatherd (and his goats) who was very friendly and appreciated a bit of conversation in his broken English and our broken Greek!
Dimida is close by and has a couple of shops which sell locally produced goods. The bakery in the square is particularly good and the friendly owner appreciated our efforts to speak Greek!
We didn't venture very far as we were after a week of relaxing and solitude! Going so early in the season (last week of March) meant there was hardly anyone around so it was very quiet. Perfect for us!
Plenty to do in the local area if you don't mind travelling 30 mins or so. Dimida caves worth a look and pretty spectacular!
Overall, couldn't fault our week and would love to return!

Thank you for all your help and advice,
it was greatly appreciated

Nikki and Grant

Katia

 

Graham & Tamsyn K. arrived 16th Aug 2014

The villa was lovely and had spectacular views as well as being very quiet. We had a very relaxing family holiday, recharged our batteries and thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside in the warm evening air. It was very refreshing not to hear an English accent and meant we felt as if we truly had got away from it all.

kind regards,

Graham and Tamsyn K.

 

Max & Sarah W. arrived 12th July 2014

Lulu W. arrived 1st May 2014

We very much enjoyed our stay in Ostria. Costas, the owner, was very accommodating and helpful with anything we needed and his welcome left us speechless. He left us with lots of fresh food in the fridge and was very generous.

Points for improvement: To be honest, I'm slightly at a lose for words as can't think of anything I would change.

Many thanks and all the best,

Ofir A.and Lulu W.

 

Adrian S. arrived 12th Aug 2013

We had a really great, relaxing, stay. First impressions of a beautiful view after journey had to overcome the imposing and derelict hotel that dominates the bay, but there isn't a lot you can do about that!

We spent a lot of time at the villa, which was lovely and very well looked after. Great to have things like aircon and wifi (for the paper and downloading books!). The car hire people were excellent and very prompt. Nice to have them at the airport - other people had to be driven to their cars..
Porto Heli was nice, as was the closer fishing port. We drove home via Nafplion, which was beautiful and worth another visit if we were in the Peloponnese again.
Thank you for your recommendation and your service, which was excellent throughout.

We'll be in touch again.

Kind regards,

Adrian and Louise S.

 

Sophie B. arrived 21th July 2013

Chris G. arrived 26th May 2013

We have just returned from a fantastic week at Villa Ostria - what a
perfect location - beautiful Villa, quiet, fantastic views, and lovely surrounding areas.
Your attention to detail in getting us organised was excellent, as
were your recommendations of things to do locally. In fact we didn't venture too far enjoying the pool and the beach. We did make Porto Cheli and the amphitheatre at Epidaurus.
Kostas the villa owner was very friendly.
We certainly won't hesitate to use Pretty Greek Villas in the future.

Many thanks, best wishes and keep up the great work.

Chris and family

 

Harriet H. arrived 1st Sept 2012

We are now here at Villa Ostria. Luckily the villa itself is fabulous, particularly the pool and terrace, and Kostas has done everything he could to welcome us. The house was beautifully presented with tea lights etc when we arrived and the fridge was stocked with much more stuff, and much more interesting things, than we had requested.

Harriet

 

Laurence B. arrived 10th Aug 2012

First of all, i would like to emphasise about the very good quality of
Pretty Greek villas services, the rental car was so smooth, being met
straight at the airport and leaving the car at the entrance door is
just perfect, we did not have to go through the usual "going to get
the car (usually outside the airport, having to get a bus et..)
Furthermore, your reaction when I contacted you was spot on and you did your best to help us; thanks for your help

Kind regards
Laurence

 

Jordanis T. arrived 23th June 2012

Villa Ostria was such a delight for my mum. I think she enjoyed it a lot. Will see her when she comes this week to Switzerland.

You have some nice villas in your portfolio. Two couples of our Swiss friends have rented a house of yours, too. Not sure if they decided on Cephalonia or Tinos. But I'm sure they'll love it.

Best, Jordanis

The villa was beautiful. The views great.
The villa owner provided a very delicious birthday cake and refused to take any money for it, which we really appreciated.
On the whole, we enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for your help in trying to find a new suitcase.
The support and help you gave during the booking, and whilst we were in the Villa, was excellent.

Al Z. arrived 26th June 2010

thanks for your help in organizing our stay at Villa Ostria. The property is beautiful and Salandi bay is one of the most amazing places I have seen in Greece. It is also so close to Naphlio and Argos, where I needed to go on a regular basis.
I really should be coming yearly to Greece to take care of family affairs, so don't be surprised if I'm emailing you again for housing.

Thanks again, and have a good summer.

Al Z.

 

Caroline F. arrived 3th Aug 2009

We can only say that it was absolutely perfect! So uncomplicated as
far as picking up/returning keys to the owner (who was super helpful)
and as for the villa- it was more than we had hoped for- even more
beautiful than the pics on the website! (which is not usually the case!)

We really didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning
sometime in the future!!
Have already recommended the website to many friends!

Thank you so much!

Caroline
