LARGE 5 bedroom Villa, Fantastic Views of the Ionian Sea!

LARGE 5 bedroom Villa, Fantastic Views of the Ionian Sea!

10/10 Excellent
"The villa was beautiful. The rooms and outdoor areas had incredible views, the pool was perfect, it was easy to find and in a little village with a couple of lovely tavernas (we liked them both, but Xaris probably just a little more). We had a perfect stay and didn't want to leave. Morten and Vivi sent us really clear and helpful instructions and advice and were super responsive when we had questions. The road to get to the villa was quite narrow but we never had any issues and it's a small price to pay to be perched on a hillside and have such a gorgeous view over the sea, mountains and islands."

Sunny Villa Ilios over Mikros Gialos near Sivota

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful villa which was much larger and even more impressive than seen in the photos. We stayed as a family of 5 and there was plenty of room. The villa was very clean and well-equipped with everything you may need. Beds were very comfortable.The view was simply stunning looking out over Ithaca and the islands beyond. Fantastic location near to a supermarket and pizza take away. Beach was easily accessible. Lots of restaurants in Nidri. One small point was that we were unsure where to place additional rubbish and would have benefited from instructions.We had a fabulous time and would recommend a stay in this stunning villa."

Romantic Villa Gialos over Mikros Gialos

Romantic Villa Gialos over Mikros Gialos

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I stayed at Villa Gialos during September 2025. The owners were there to meet us on arrival and showed us around the property. To be honest I don’t think I was paying much attention to the tour as I could not take my eyes off the amazing view.The villa was spotlessly clean and contained everything we required. We spent most of the week using the outside space which suited our needs perfectly - all day sun and a small pool to cool off.The villa is situated directly between Nydri and Syvota and typically we spent our evenings split between these 2 locations - by car both are about 10-15mins away. There is also a large supermarket less than 2mins away.We visit Greece on a frequent basis and would definitely recommend Villa Gialos and use again ourselves in the future."
