When you book a house, managed by ROYAL Vacation Rentals, you’re getting more than a holiday home. You’re getting professional, personalised service you can count on. We are not a travel agency, where you book and travel as a stranger among strangers. Giorgos, your host is only a phone call or message away to help you check in and out of the house, answer any questions you might have and of course assist you on any matter, related not only to your stay at our place but to the whole of your vacation. We’re here for you, throughout your entire vacation - from providing Area & Home guides, to local staff, caring for you and your holiday home. Every ROYAL vacation rental meets the highest standards of cleanliness, safety and comfort, so you can fully enjoy your time with your family and friends.
