We were pleasantly greeted by the host Malaika's kind and welcoming smile.
We had a great view and the room was clean, comfortable and spacious. Mr Hassan (part owner) also picked us up from the airport.
Breakfast was sumptuous and promptly served at 8 AM. The dining has a great view. Mohammet and his companion served coffee, juice and Tea and were conversant in English.
The location of Villas is right inside the oriental market where alleyways lead to other wonderful shops/markets.
This is no doubt a great place in the middle of the town, walking distance to the beach, boat harbor, restaurants and shops.
Most tours and tour guides start at 7-7:30 am. The breakfast is served at 8 am. You will miss a great breakfast unless you alter you tour timings. ( We really wished that the breakfast could be served at 7 am so most visitors can enjoy the view and the breakfast)
there is a great pool and three other lounging ares with bar and Hooks service. The view from all of these lounges is spectacular.
We were there for 4 night and visited the Ephesus ruins and Mary's house. Also took a one hour boat ride to the Greek island Samos. We spent the day there just roaming the town and enjoying the cafes on the beach.
one last noteworthy thing is that in order to get to Villas, you have to climb about 35 steep steps but it is worth it.
One day we were leaving early and Malaika packed a breakfast for us. That was so kind of her.
Highly recommended.
