The Kouremenos Villas sit on the hillside just above the wide arc of Kouremenos Beach with superb views of the whole sweep of the bay and the mountains beyond. Just below the individual terraces is a paved garden with well-tended varieties of trees and shrubs and where those feeling sociable can enjoy a shared meal or barbecue. Just below the garden is what must be the quintessential 'pool with a view' complete with sunbeds and sunshades.
The villas were all renovated and refurbished in 2008 but without losing their intrinsic charm. Three villas have one twin bedroom whilst the other two have both a double and a twin bedroom and all are air-conditioned. The living rooms all incorporate a fitted kitchenette complete with not just the usual fridge, hob and oven but the added convenience of electric kettle and toaster. There is a sofa bed in each living room and all villas have a modern shower room.
Yiannis and Aspasia, the charming and hospitable owners, live in the new building just behind the original terrace of villas where they have also created three more apartments. Without being in any way intrusive, they offer their guests all sorts of advice on the local area, not to mention the occasional home-baked goodies and vegetables from the garden.
Kouremenos Beach, with its three seaside tavernas, is just a fifteen minute walk down the hillside and the village and Chiona Beach just a few minutes drive away although many guests are more than happy to wile away their days in the serenity of the villas' grounds.
The atmosphere at Kouremenos Villas could not be more relaxing and it is an ideal location for those wishing to wake up to the sound of distant goat bells and breakfast on a terrace with a truly stunning view.
