The villa and garden are lovely and the hosts most helpful and friendly. However, there are no evening dining facilities within walking distance (one needs to either have a car or take a taxi to a nearby town) and the closest beach is a good 20-minute walk, not always welcome in the hot sun. Furthermore, the beach itself is very disappointing - garbage is visible along the path leading from the road, and by the end of the afternoon, there are empty beer cans everywhere. In a nutshell, I highly recommend the villa itself, but not the surrounding area unless you have a car and/or are looking for a quiet holiday relaxing in the garden or on the terrace.
