“We absolutely loved our time at Olive Grove Villas and can’t recommend it highly enough and hope”
Fofi was an excellent host, answering our messages immediately before and during our stay, meeting us and taking us into the town to pick up groceries and arranging car hire making for a stress free arrival. The villas and their setting were beyond our expectations! Set within an olive grove and surrounded by vineyards and orange groves. Such a tranquil, peaceful location with just bird song for company and yet just 5 minutes walk into the village with several shops and tavernas ( the one on the corner with blue doors was our favourite). The local town was just 5 minutes drive with beautiful little streets and many tavernas. At the villa, everything was immaculate both inside and out with so many different areas to sit and relax depending on your sun and shade preferences as well as 5 different outside dinning areas! The grounds were very large and set on 3 different levels up the side of the valley with the pool separating the two villas. The pool was stunning and received daily maintenance before we surfaced each morning. The lovely cleaner came once during the middle of our stay.

“Amazing stay in a beautiful place!”
We had an absolute great stay at the Olive Grove Villa. We stayed for 5 nights and wished we could’ve stayed longer. The villa and pool were beautiful, clean, well-kept and hostess Fofi made sure we had everything we needed all week. Highly recommend this place to everyone!

Beautiful property with private pool. 2 buildings each with 2 double beds in large site with a swimming pool and olive grove. Very friendly welcome at the property which is very well equipped. Tranquil and private setting. Good places to eat in Archanes nearby and several in village itself.
