"Our stay at villa Lygaria was absolutely lovely. The villa was sparkling clean and it was so relaxing to wake up listening to the waves each morning and to enjoy the sea views. We were able to swim in the infinity pool in the end of October as we paid the fee to have it heated, which was perfect for us."
