Fodor's Expert Review Forest Villas

Run by mother and son Vaso and Theo, this pair of newly built two-bedroom villas are perfectly placed for Myrtos Beach and road trips to Fiskardo or Sami. They took six years to build, and it shows. The insides are welcoming, with cool tiled floors and decorative touches. They also come with everything you could need: a fully stocked kitchen (including breakfast supplies), BBQ, two bathrooms, laundry facilties, and a huge private pool and terrace. Surrounded by forests, with mountains bearing down to the north, it's a wonderfully secluded setting. Vaso even stocks the fridge with pots of her homemade pastitsada, though there's a decent grillhouse (The Black Sheep) in the village up the road. The villas are available all year.
