A really lovely villa with fantastic pool and views. Very quiet apart from occasional noise wafting up the hill from the hotel. Bathroom and kitchen maybe need updating. A car is absolutely essential. We thought we might get away with walking and the bus. The buses are infrequent and unreliable and the hill is very steep. Local eating out options are also limited. A good place though for a chill out holiday.
Rental Car essential......
Once found, Villa ERATO proved to be secluded and very private. Great pool!
Villa & pool cleaned by friendly staff.
Marks 10/10
Me and my husband have spent two weeks in late June early July 2013 at villa ERATO of the Kalamaki villas.
The accommodation was very comfortable and it is in a beautiful setting. The Villa was fully equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. It had peaceful and quiet surroundings but it was only a few minutes by car to shops and tavernas etc... Villa ERATO was very clean and well maintained and itâs private pool was spotless.
The service from the caretaker when we needed it was excellent. The view from the terrace is wonderful extending to a big part of the Messinean gulf with the Taygetos
mountains at the far end.
A number of tavernas/restaurants in Chrani offer great local food, which we were more than happy to try throughout all of our holiday.
The local supermarket on the main road in Chrani provided everything we needed for our stay, including a great BBQ on the last night. Vila ERATO was a good base for touring around the local area or just staying put and relaxing.
