We stayed in Palataki 2, which is a small but adequate studio with a lovely, clean pool and private terrace overlooking wonderful views of Kardamyli, the mountains and the sea. Very cramped kitchen corner so we didn't attempt much cooking. It's a 10 minute walk up from the village (lots of good restaurants and bars), which was fine for us but might put off some - also less than confident swimmers need to be aware that the pool is 1.9m deep throughout. There were cleaning issues when we arrived, including broken glass and mouse droppings on the patio, plus a lack of cutlery, cleaning cloths etc, all of which were addressed after we complained, but unfortunately not without an argument with the James Villas agent whose first response to every point was that it was not his fault - very poor attitude. However after this hiccup we he had a lovely time in this beautiful area. We had previously stayed in Palataki 3, which has a separate bedroom and bigger terrace, and is probably worth the extra money.
