Angela, who also owns Angela's Apartments, doesn't advertise the details of her villa so let me assure you that it's excellent accommodation and amazing value for money.
I went as a single in early May and, having left it too late to join my friends in their package tour accommodation, I booked easily on the web and the 2 weeks cost £170. It's single or couple suitable, having one double bed and the facilities are very adequate. The rooms are large and the eat-in kitchen, though short on worktops, has a big fridge and full-size Siemens electric cooker (big enough to cook the turkey in, if you can catch it in the orchard! .. only joking!).
The bathroom is large and has a big basin, bath/shower and bidet.
There are verandahs on both sides, one for the morning breakfast and one for the evening sun, overlooking the pergola and market garden. The roses were marvellous in mid-May.
The sitting room has 2 settees, a big dining table, a tv and french doors to the evening verandah.
You have access to the big fruit orchard to the South side, for that quiet 'siesta'.
Mama Maria can provide eggs and olive oil and no doubt other veg in season.
The quietest walking route to San Stephanos is straight up the road and past the school, much better than the busy main road or the steep cliff path (it was impassably muddy after the early-May rain). The villa is convenient for getting to the Afionas road and cliff walk, also the nice South beach, by using the back road past Tria Adelphia.
The bakery and the Stamatis mini-market are a few minutes down the road and slightly further on is Captain's Taverna, which I can't praise enough. Family run, it's where we ate almost every night because of the wecome, the service, the choice, very reasonable prices and delicious food; what more could you want! Young Val is dying to try out his English on you!
The only snag was the 3 days rain and unusually cold weather for early May, but it's probably better now than here on the Isle of Wight on Mid-summers Day!
I can't comment on Angela's Apartments as they were not open then but the villa is spacious, set back off he road though not 'away from it all' and convenient for the usual necessities.
Private holiday booking is getting to be more popular and hopefully easyJet will make a difference to the air fares. Airport taxis (£40 each way) might be shared if there was some way the individual could arrange it. The agents don't seem too keen for obvious reasons.
You can guess I'm all for the 'layed back' kind of holiday and, thanks to Angela, it's perfectly possible in Arillas! Enjoy!
Regards to all
