We stayed at the Villa Bridge in Aghios Gordios from 12th to 26th May 2008. We booked the Holiday thru Manos Travel and paid a total of £604 for the two of us for the two weeks, this included all the extras, fuel surcharge, Airport taxes etc etc. Flying from East Midlands.
The Villa Bridge is located at the Southern end of Aghios Gordios, and can be reached either by walking along the Beach Boardwalk, or thru the paved fottpaths thru the back of the Village. Either way you are about 5 to 10 mins from the Street with the Tavernas, or one minute from the beach, about 50 yards.
The accomodation is set in its own gardens, there are two Bungalow type buildings. The first nearest the gate comprises a Studio for two, and a Two Bedroomed apartment that sleeps 4.
The second building has a One Bedroom Apartment, this was ours, this is attached to the owners apartment, where the very friendly couple live, Elenas and her husband, also their cat, they also have a dog that lives at the bottom of the garden, we never heard him Bark so no problem.
Our one bedroom apartment comprised of, entry door into Kitchen Diner, this was very well equiped, more than we are used to on our Greek holidays. There was a Table and chairs for 4, A FULL Cooker (only used to two ring unit). Electric Kettle (No umbriki, greek kettle), an Electric Toastie maker, did not use. Full sized Fridge. Double sink unit, plenty of hot water and a PLUG. There are plenty of storage, and crockery and cutlery for two.
To the left is a door to the Bath room, again more than we are used to. Toilet, Sink, Bath with overhead shower and shower curtain, "WHAT NO WET FLOORS" I hear you Greekophiles shout. Plenty of Hot Water at all times of the day.
To the right of the kitchen is a good Bedroom with, wait for it, A KING SIZED DOUBLE BED, not two singles shoved together. Sheer heaven for those Romantic Greek Nights, well be may have been married 38 years but we still love each other like crasy. There was a large 3 doored wardrobe, Dressing Table with draws and two bed side tables. Also plenty of electric points and lights.
Outside the front door is a small patio area that looks out onto the Garden. For the gardeners amonst you you will love it, Flowers , Roses, trees include Lemon, Orange, Cherry & Olive, There is a Banana Plant. A vegtable plot and little lawns. All kinds of Birds are attracted to the Garden.
The owners cat comes to visit but will not be fussed, will just sit and watch you, no problem.
The location is very quiet, and is not on anyones going home route, so quiet nights sleep are very nice. In fact when the sea was calm the only noise at night would be if a Leaf Fell from a Tree, you heard it hit the ground it was that quiet.
Elenas made us a Cake in the first week, a maderia with lots of Honey soaked into the base, very good. Elenas Cleans and airs the apartment most days with changes of Towels and Bedding twice a week.
There is a path that leads directly to the Beach by the side of the Garden.
So I would be more than Happy to stay here again and again.
