Milla from Finland (10/10)
The hostess was so friendly and open to help with anything you need. All the facilities were good, it was easy to make your own food at the apartment and the location was really good. Don’t have any complaints. I was honoured to get to be the first guest staying at the apartment!
Emil from Norway (10/10)
A comfortable, beautifully designed and furnished accomodation with everything you might need. There were simple beverages and snacks in the kitchen upon my arrival. The kitchen also included many different pans, pots and electronical appliances for you to make a drink, food or a snack. One of the owners is always available as she lives just around the corner. The appartment was above all expectations!
Erik from Greece (10/10)
Everything was good.
The apartment was big enough with a walking shower and a parking exacly outside of the apartment. 2 mins far from the sandy beach in marmari and 15 mins by car far from the centerAlessandra from Italy (9/10)

Jessica from Germany (10/10)
Joy hat mich so herzlich empfangen und mir alles erklärt. Das Apartment ist mega süß eingerichtet und die Küche ist weitreichend ausgestattet. Wenn es mal an was gefehlt hat (Feuerzeug) konnte ich jederzeit zu ihr kommen und Sie hat mir geholfen. Sie hat meine Erwartung wirklich übertroffen, unser Verhältnis war schon fast freundschaftlich/familiär. Sie hat mir mit einem fehlenden Strandtuch ausgeholfen, mir Olivenöl zum kochen gebracht und die Kinder haben mir sogar zum Frühstück einmal rote Trauben aus dem Garten gebracht. Und on Top hab Sie mich sogar einmal zu meinem Freund ins Hotel gefahren ein Dorf weiter, das war einfach so unglaublich fürsorglich und lieb von ihr! Ich kann euch diese Familie und das Apartment nur herzlich weiterempfehlen, ich hatte eine unfassbar schöne Zeit dort. Ich werde auf jedenfalls wiederkommen und wünsche Ihr weiterhin viel Erfolg mit dem Apartment! Vielen lieben Dank liebe Joy!!!!
Sarah from Italy (10/10)
L'appartamento è pulito e accogliente, fornito di tutto il necessario. La Host è stata molto gentile e disponibile, ci ha accolto al check-in e ci ha fatto trovare alcune cose da mangiare per la colazione.
La posizione è ottima: trovandosi in mezzo alla campagna non ci sono rumori attorno, ma allo stesso tempo è a soli 5 minuti di auto dalla spiaggia di Marmari.
Unica pecca è che non è individuabile su Google maps: tuttavia sono fornite buone indicazioni prima dell'arrivo al fine di trovare facilmente l'alloggio.Anneliese from Austria (10/10)
Super Appartement, alles was man braucht ist vorhanden ! Von Bügeleisen, Gelsenstecker, voll ausgestattete Küche, Handtücher,…sehr sauber in einer ruhigen Gegend! In 3 min ist man mit dem Auto am Strand . Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Bei unserer Ankunft waren auch Getränkte im Kühlschrank eingekühlt. Danke für die schöne Zeit!
