- "I was blown away by Bellevue Village, it exceeded all of our expectations! George and Fofi could not have been more welcoming, and could not do enough to make our stay relaxing and happy. They are the kindest, friendliest and most generous people, and made our stay so special! I even left a skirt behind and they managed to find it and were prepared to post it to us in England! The apartment was beautiful, spotlessly clean, stayed very cool in the heat, and the view from our large balcony and the whole plot was breathtaking. We had the pool to ourselves most days, or shared with a few quiet, friendly couples. The whole experience was pure bliss! We looked at hundreds of holiday accommodation options, and I am SO happy that we chose this. The value for money is incredible, I felt as though I was in a 5* hotel, with so many thoughtful touches. The beach, small supermarket and several tavernas are a 10-15 minute walk down the hill, and it's only a half hour walk to Agia Pelagia, if you want more tourist attractions. I cannot recommend Bellvue Village enough, and we will 100% be back. If you're hesitating to book, don't! You won't regret staying here."
