Beautifully secluded and scenic villas on a hilltop overlooking the beaches of Pori and an ocean view of nearby islands. The villas are impeccably designed and decorated in an elegant, modern and natural style. The family that was staying in the villa next to us owns a film location company in Paris which is a pretty strong endorsement for the location and style;) Everything the villas was brand new and top range - e.g. Sonos speakers, rain shower fixtures etc. Most importantly, the AC worked very well and we slept blissfully cool every evening. The villas are outside the main town but we were given a new electric VW car for the length of our stay so it's only a 10 min ride to zip into town to get a coffee or drive down to the beaches. It was nice to spend the day in the hustle of the town or beaches but retreat to the quiet and stars scape of the villa. The WIFI was excellent - two of our party were working for IBM and Google and they had no problem doing remote Zoom calls and we had no problems streaming films during our stay. Konstantinos and his mother who own the villas were very helpful and responsive, they had great suggestions for local places to visit. Recommendations for during our stay - Laska was levels above any restaurant on the island, world class modern Greek cuisine - we dined there for times during our stay. There is a wonderful full day sailing excursion (10:30am-5:30pm) you can book in the main tourist office in town - it's a sailboat with a motor and only fits 8 guests and when we booked it we had the boat to ourselves. It sails to the best beaches which in my opinion are an Kato Koufonissi - the island a short boat ride across from Koufonissi. The day sailing was magical. These beaches on Kato Koufonissi are also available by water taxis leaving every hour from the port. But you will need to bring an umbrella or pop up sunshade with you as there is little shade on any beaches. We bought a little Kratax pop up sunshade tent which can fold up in a tote bag and it worked perfectly for us. One thing to note is that the villas don't have a laundry machine on site but we were able to hand wash things in the villa. All in all, a beautiful resort for anyone looking for a zen a**osphere and beautiful views.
