Villa Roula Self Catering Apartments, Santorini

Advantages: Unlimited Free access to the castle & grounds
Disadvantages: Very small kitchen

...Having written a review for Watermouth Castle, I thought I should add a bit about the accommodation that is available at the Castle. Mid way through last July we visited and stayed at Watermouth Castle in North Devon. The Castle is not only a theme park but also has six apartments as well. Upon arriving at the Castle on the Saturday (as this is change over day) we were warmly welcomed by the owners of the apartments and castle, and were shown to our Penn-Curzon apartment which sleeps 6. ***** The Apartment ***** A you enter the foyer there are two staircases one going up to the left to a small balcony over looking the theme park and then leading to three apartments.

Advantages: warm sea, sun, spacious rooms
Disadvantages: noisy kids

...Our last "proper" holiday before we pack up and become water gypsies(and for those of you who don't know what I mean, please take a look at my homepage) was a nine- night self catering holiday to Albufeira last September.

Advantages: no mosquitos low key nightlife excellent beaches
Disadvantages: none

...friendly. This beach also forms part of perissa and a 20-25 minute walk leads you to this lovely resort full of character charm and lots of lovely sovenia shops also the place to buy your fruit and vegtables if you go self catering like ourselves. During the day perivolous is very busy with lots to offer but come 9.00 at night it is a very different atmosphere all that is open are the tavernas which are just finishing up so perfect for people who like to have a low key relaxing holiday. The food in santorini is like many of the greek islands but their own speciality is the chesse pie and anything to do with cherry tomatoes and grapes which is all they manage to grow being a volcanic island but are delious and sweet. thira / fira (same place) is a great place to sightsee and take lots of stunning pictures of the volcano which you can go...
