This amazing villa accommodated my family of 6 with ease for 14 nights. The house is large, elegant and extremely well equipped. The Carlos family is extremely professional and truly delivers a meticulous priduct. The house is located in a beautiful seaside village - suburb of patras which is a large city located 13 km away easily accessible by train, car or bus. The Carlos villa is a 4 floor maisonette style villa with 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and an elevator. There are 2 kitchens and each room has Air conditioning and a wall mounted plasma TV. The house has free Wifi and a phone line with free calls to a land phone anywhere in Greece. There is a soccer field next door for the kids to play and ample parking available aside from an indoor parking garage spot. Mountain bikes are also provided. The sea is just steps away - about 70 m. It was the first time during all my travels that I actually felt just as comfortable as in my own home in Canada.

Mr Carlos and his wife greeted us warmly and showed us around their lovely home. It was set up so incredibly well that we did not need to do much other than buy our day to day groceries. And, Mr Carlos and his wife had kindly stocked the fridge with fresh fruit and some basics. The house is big and could have many more than our small family of four stay their comfortably. It is a five minute walk away from some excellent beaches but they are rock beaches so bring swim shoes. Many good beach tavernas are near by as well and the house has everything you'd ever want to take to the beach with you. If you have young kids, a trip to the near by Olympico cafe is a must with a large play area in the back. We hope to come back soon!

We spent a wonderful week in Rio thanks to the Carlos family hospitality and a house where we found everything we need (and even more!) Children and adults played guitar and babyfoot [foosball] inside, played soccer, ride bicycle and ran outside. And the sea nearby offered us funny and nice moments. If we can, we will come back!

Wir wurden sehr nett mit einem warmen Abendessen empfangen. Das Haus ist wunderschön. Keller + 2 Etagen. Damit man nicht so viel Stiegen steigen muss gibt es sogar einen eigenen Lift. Das Haus ist erstklassig ausgestattet. Klimaanlage, WLAN im ganzen Haus, 4 Schlafzimmer, jedes mit eigenem Bad, Fernseher. Mehrere Balkone. Eine große Terrasse unten vor dem Haus. Auf der Rückseite ein Grillplatz. Weiters gibt es eine Garage, Fahrräder, Standuntensilien. Es gibt 2 Küchen, beide voll ausgestattet. Wir hoffen, dass wir nächstes Jahr wieder kommen können.
