According to previous guests:
M.N. " The accommodation was superb, very private with all amenities provided for. Even though we were two families (6 adults and 3 children), we were all extremely comfortable and the villa was very well laid out. The sea view was just awe inspiring, the pool and outdoor areas perfect for lounging and alfresco dining. The villa has a completely secluded setting in the valley and is surrounded by nature, with orchards and olive trees."
N.W. "We spent a wonderful week at The Olive Grove. The villa is located away from the crowds, with a stunning view down towards the sea. The villa is huge, comfortable and stocked with everything you could need for your stay. Maria is the most amazing host - she helped us out with a number of issues which made our stay even more enjoyable"
