We have been on many villa holidays and this is the most well equipped one we have stayed in! Also the restaurant round the corner is excellent. Thank you for a memorable holiday. (Hartley Family, Berkshire, UK) Thank you for a fantastic stay here at Villa Kamen. We have had a VERY relaxing week. The pool is great & house is so comfortable. Had lovely food out all week but in particular the local restaurant round the corner & Idilia - it was truly gorgeous to watch the sun setting sat out on the terrace. This is a great place for lots of rest & rejuvination: we are all going home very chilled out. (Reynolds Family, Cheshire, UK)
