"We (a family of five) spent a wonderful week at Villa Levande. Situated in the hills a bit outside of the little village of Sfinari, it offers a magnificent view of the sea. The garden and the terrace with the infinity pool are a little paradise in between the olive tree fields around. A very remote and romantic place. The house offers everything you need, it is tastefully and lovely decorated."

We had a fantastic stay in this beautiful villa. We felt very well looked after by the hosts and stayed in regular contact with them. They were very eager to support and offer advice whenever it was needed. The villa itself is absolutely beautiful. It’s very well-equipped, the pool is wonderful and the view is just perfect. Sfinari itself is a quiet village which is exactly what we were after. We tried two tavernas down on the beach (Thalami and Captain Fidias) and both were lovely - delicious food and friendly service! We must also say thank you so much to lovely owner who made us a home-cooked meal and was always on hand to offer brilliant recommendations. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone and hope to visit again in the future.

Lækker villa med en fantastisk udsigt. Villaen ligger i gåafstand til en lille købmand og stranden, hvor der er flere gode restauranter. Villaen var godt udstyret og havde alt vi havde brug for. Vi fik mulighed for at tjekke ind tidligt og vores værter havde sørget for både morgenmad og frokost til os i huset - meget imponerende. Vi fik gode råd til aktiviteter under vores ophold og gjorde god brug af den bog med beskrivelser af ture, der var i huset. Vi kan varmt anbefale stedet.
