Beautiful
As a whole, Villa Cleobulus is beautiful. It’s secluded, peaceful and relaxing. The villa sits prominently on the outskirts of the village of Pilonas, in a commanding position surrounded by mountain views. While somewhat dated inside, the villa nonetheless has everything you need - it’s well designed, comfortable & it quickly becomes home. However, it’s the impressive outdoor spaces that make it special. The ground floor has a large, covered wrap-around veranda making it easy to seek shade with each side affording views over the impressive, well maintained gardens and planting. The plot and gardens are also much bigger than expected – it certainly felt secluded and private. The star attractions though are the pool and the upstairs master bedroom veranda. Thanks to its impressive filtration and regular maintenance, the pool is “exceptionally” clean and inviting. Facing west, at the rear of the property, it's also very private. The large upstairs covered veranda is brilliant, offering commanding views over the village and beyond. As its south facing, it’s just perfect for sitting on the sofas catching sunrise with a coffee and then sunset with a glass of your favourite tipple – simply stunning. The location is also perfect for exploring the Lindos area, although a car is essential. Communications with the owner, Fiona, was also exceptional and a nice welcome pack upon arrival too. Overall, our experience staying in Cleobulus was great – it really was a home from home!
