Traumhaft!

Die perfekte Villa für perfekte Ferien! Wir waren als Familie mit 6 Erwachsenen und 2 Babys da und es war das perfekte Haus. Angefangen beim Einchecken: Der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit Essen, Getränke, Obst lag bereit und eine erste Mahlzeit war auch gekocht und musste nur noch in den Ofen geschoben werden! Hier wird alles perfekt und mit viel Liebe vorbereitet und gepflegt. Der Aussenbereich und der Pool wird jeden morgen gereinigt inkl. neuen Tüchern. Zudem wurde in der Mitte der Woche das Haus nochmals gereinigt und Betten neu bezogen. Die Gastgeber sind so freundliche und so zuvorkommend. Wir durften am Checkout-Tag auch bis am Abend bleiben da unser Flug erst am Abend ging. Alles in allem, einfach traumhaft, perfekt, sauber, tiptop, nichts auszusetzen! Am besten sofort buchen... :-)

Traumhaftes Haus an super Lage, mit fantastischer Aussicht.

Wir durften eine traumhafte Zeit in diesem wunderschönen Haus verbringen. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und es wurde sogar für uns eingekauft und ein super feines, griechisches Abendessen vorbereitet. Nochmals lieben Dank!! Auch während des Aufenthaltes wurden wir immer mal wieder kulinarisch überrascht, indem am Morgen auf der Terrasse frisch gebackene Crepes für uns deponiert wurden. Die Gastgeber sind grossartig, liebevoll und hilfsbereit. Das Haus, sehr sauber, modern und einfach klasse. Der Pool sehr sauber und schön mit toller Aussicht. Jeden Morgen als wir aufstanden, war der Pool gereinigt und frische Pool/ Strandtücher bereit für uns. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und bedanken uns von Herzen bei der Gastgeber Familie für die liebevolle Gastfreundschaft.

Großartige Villa mit schöner Aussicht

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen und entspannten Urlaub in der fabelhaften Villa Orea Eleni. Die Gastgeber waren überaus herzlich, haben sich rührend um alles gekümmert und waren bei Fragen immer ansprechbar. Schon bei der Ankunft wurden wir mit einem gut gefüllten Kühlschrank (diverse Getränke etc.), Lebensmitteln sowie reichlich frischem Obst und Gemüse begrüßt. Dazu gab es ein selbst gemachtes Moussaka, das nur noch in den Ofen geschoben werden musste. Täglich wurde der Pool gereinigt und ein frischer Satz Badetücher zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Villa ist sehr sauber und entspricht den Fotos in der Anzeige. Wenn gewünscht, wird im Laufe des Aufenthalts die Villa nochmals gereinigt. Man hat eine wirklich hervorragende Sicht auf die Bucht von Bali und die umliegenden Berge. Hin und wieder gab es sogar ein kleines Feuerwerk. Die Landstraße in der Nähe ist nicht direkt im Blick, ist aber hin und wieder zu hören. Bali hat einige Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Restaurants und Tavernen, einen kleinen Hafen sowie kleine, feine Strände, die an einigen Stellen etwas steinig sind. Fernab vom großen Touristentrubel kann man hier einen tollen und entspannten Urlaub verbringen. Bali und seine Gäste sind sehr unaufgeregt, weshalb es sich gut als Urlaubsziel für Familien eignet. Die Einheimischen sind super gastfreundlich und das Publikum ist bunt gemischt. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Beautiful Villa

The villa was so beautiful, lovely and clean and with a nice view of the sea. The owner and her daughter met us on arrival and filled the fridge with everything we could possibly need as well as providing a hamper full of goodies. They even prepared us a meal for the first night and provided extra goodies during the week. Nothing was too much trouble. The villa is located a short distance away from the beach and shops, which was perfect. It even had some outdoor play equipment that my daughter loved playing with. Fresh beach towels each day was also a lovely touch. I would highly recommend this villa.

Fantastic!

Everything was just perfect! The property owners live near by and were fantastic throughout the week, from keeping the pool area clean to delivering fresh produce daily. The location is slightly remote so you will need a car, however Bali is a lovely village right on the doorstep. We had a great time and would highly recommend
