Guestbook for Villa Argo

Dear Amy!
I wanted to say a special thank you for the success of our holiday - a big part in that success was played by your villa in the lovely village of Aspro. The house was perfect inside and out, and we could not get enough of the view from the terrace and sun-roof :).when normally the pictures of rental apartments tend to be better than the reality itself then in this case we got more than expected:)!
Derek and Pam provided a very friendly assistance and gave us good advice regarding shopping for the daily food
It was a holiday to remember and I truly hope we can enjoy your hospitality again next year. Kaie.(July 2009).

Hi Amy and Mervyn,

Thank you so much for the stay we had at your wonderful villa. We enjoyed ourselves so much and for the first time ever, really relaxed.
Spent many days hunting for a house to buy, but couldnt find anything we liked as much as Villa Argo and Aspro
Thank you once again, many regards, Hugh and Shirley(may-july2009)
