Great villa, and perfect for us.

Great location and views. A small handle to pull the dining room patio door closed from the outside. New pegs please as the plastic ones snap because of the UV: Wooden ones would work. Improved bannister on the stairs.

Another Pleasurable Stay at Galania!

Enjoyed the peace and wonderful views from a variety of different spots around the grounds. The new shaded seating area was a very good addition. The sun shade was in a fixed position so there was no adjustment in accordance with the position of the sun. Previously there were two shades. A additional hand rail on the stairs would make the stairs more manageable for both young and old.

Another great visit

The villa suits us perfectly in terms of size, facilities and location. We noticed the improvements from our last visit, namely, the addition of a hair dryer in the second bedroom, the improve childrens’ pool and the redecoration which makes the house seem lighter and refreshed. Claire and Antonio are great hosts. Already booked for next year. One of the parasols needs to be securely fixed into it’s housing the current wood pieces used to fill the housing don’t keep the pole in place.

Another Pleasurable Stay at Galania!

On our second visit we found that improvements to the decor as well as the Galania towels, pillows and sheets had brightened the villa up giving a more modern feel. The pool, bbq, comfortable bed and outdoor space including shaded areas were as good as ever. We enjoyed walking into the village to the taverna and the butcher's shop. By chance we found a good supermarket in Neo Chorio - the mini market in Almeni was less well stocked. Very small details. Two of the outside lights under the canopy flickered and one of the lights by the bbq did not come on with the remaining external lights. There is now an electric gate at the entrance to Villa Amvrosia & Galania with a key code to retrieve the gate fob to open the gate on initial arrival but this was not mentioned in the arrival instructions.

An excellent villa in the peace and quiet of the traditional village of Amenoi, not far from the coa

All on the flat, with one set of stairs to the bedrooms. Mattress toppers in the twin bedroom please. Also, we prefer the patio chairs and not the patio settees

Another great holiday

Improvements to the seating area by the pool and new parasols. The addition of handrails on the stairs was welcome. A super villa and we are already booked for 2026 There is a strong odour from the washing machine area in the second bedroom that needs to be looked into. For us it wasn't an issue but if you don't like cats that could be a problem. The 5 cats that were there in 2024 have increased to 11 and one of the females is pregnant. We spoke to Claire about this and she were aware of the situation.

Scenic Retreat

We really enjoyed the stunning location with panoramic views. It was great to be able to stroll 15 mins into the village. The villa was well equipped, the pool was a good size and an outdoor kitchen area ideal for barbecues. Very small things. The external lighting around the pool and seating areas came on around midnight. Whereas the light outside the lounge area and in the seating area furthest from the villa did not seem to work via the switches in the villa.

A great place to say

An ideal villa for small family or group. The BBQ and Pizza oven area is a new to us since our last visit 4 years ago and is an excellent feature. Air conditioning is effective and easy to use. The new mosquito nets are an added bonus. The villa is situated in a quiet area and a short walk to the fabulous taverna in Armenoi. Could do with 2 front door keys.

Galania - now even better

Superb pool and outdoor area. Impressive new barbecue area and new permanent shading for outdoor dining. Stupendous views of the Lefka Ori every day.Armeni as ever just charming. Minor faults: the washing machine needs to be replaced, as it simply doesn't function properly, and hasn't done for years. There is a fault on the DVD player, wherein playing any disc, the dialogue soundtrack is badly out of sync. I realise that most occupiers of Galania probably won't use the washer or the DVD player, it'd be good if these annoying faults could be put right.
