Avis West Achaea, Greece

Nous avons passe un sejour merveilleux chez Ioanna. Villa Manolia offre tous les conditions necessaires pour des vacances reussies. Les plages sont proches et fantastiques , de bons tavernas se trouvent pres de la maison. L'environemment est magique, une reservation naturelle ou on retrouve l'energie positive de la terre. Nous allons certainement revenir.

The host was very thorough in showing us the property. The property was impeccably clean and with every amenity a house could need. Beautiful tile floors and such comfortable beds. Completely fenced in with a remote controlled gate! The property is also pretty secluded which is so good! I would be so happy to stay there again!

Fantastisches Haus , auf riesen großen gepflegten Grundstück. Hatten hier den perfekten Urlaub. Auch für unseren Vierbeiner war das 18 Tage Paradies pur, da das Grundstück komplett eingezäunt, uneinsichtig ist, und nur durch ein großes elektisches Tor betreten werden kann. Da etwas Abseits, ist das Haus zusätzlich durch eine Alarmanlage gesichert. Das Meer liegt praktisch vor der Haustür, mit wunderbarem weichen Sand. In dem Naturschutzgebiet lassen sich herrliche Waldwanderungen oder Spaziergänge machen. Wir kommen herzlich gerne wieder. Denise und Wolfgang Häfner mit J.Hendrix

This was a very good property, one of the most comfortable we have stayed in. The standard was high, more like a permanent dwelling than a holiday rental. Plenty of furniture including outside the property; lots of things in the kitchen and good bathrooms etc. The property is very secure with an electronic gate and good windows and shutters, plus mesh doors for warm days but to keep the insects out. It’s nice and tucked away so very quiet and restful. There are some nearby tavernas and the Verde Al Mare hotel has a good poolside bar and restaurant (although closed from the first week of October). There are some local things to do, plus Olympia is an hour’s drive and the rack and pinion railway about 90 minutes away at Diakofto – both trips recommended. The owner took time to explain everything to us on arrival and we very much appreciated her returning something we left behind. The TV in the property has limited channels but it does have BBC World. If the WIFI doesn’t work for you pull it out at the plug and reconnect which seems to do the trick. We didn’t have GPS and the property was hard to locate from the instructions, so here’s a description to help future travellers to this property. From the main road from either Pyrgos or Patra, turn off to Lapas. If entering Lapas from the direction of Patra the best supermarket is on the right hand side just as you reach Lapas, opposite a petrol/gas station. Half way through the village there’s a turning on the right (from Patra direction) signposted to Kalogria with a second sign to the hotel Verde al Mare. Follow this road which will swing left past the village of Metoxi and eventually take you through a pine wood to a small bridge. Just after you cross the bridge there are a number of signs left to hotels etc. but do not follow these. Turn immediate right then immediate left up a small track (before a telegraph pole and small white dwelling). Follow this track around to the large white security gate to magnolia House. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
