Very Good

  : The location of the villa is great, very close to a beach, to taverns and to supermarkets. The pool and the bbq areas are perfect for spending the evenings there. The kitchen is very well equipped: fridge, freezer, coffee maker, toaster, dish washer. Julia who has received us when we arrived was very responsive to our questions and requests.
  : The fact that the 5th and 6th bedrooms are in a semi-basement came as a surprise to us because this is not shown in the property pictures or mentioned in the description. Actually the villa has 4 very nice bedrooms on the upper level with a great living room and a very well equipped kitchen but if you are a group of 10 or 12 people 2 or 4 people will have to take the semi-basement: a separate bedroom and a studio, but the bedroom is connected to the rest of the house through this 'open space' studio making it not very private. I believe that this is not an issue for families with kids for example, but for a group of young people it might not be ideal.We also had some issues with the hot water during some of the evenings.

  : The swimming pool, the grill room, the location and the viewThe good will of the owner's replacement.
  : We were 4 couples and 6 kids for 5 days.There was no water pressure so only 1 person could barely use the shower while no one else could open any tap.Could not close some of the doors.Some of the mattresses were really ancient.The electric stove wouldn't turn on.2 rooms were in the basement with no A/C..The owner left for a vacation and her replacement was not available during working hours.

  : The pool and facilities were great, although the pool went green on our last day and we had problems on a few nights with no lighting, our host Elena came out twice to get them back on.
  : The lack of showers and no plug for the bath so it made it tricky with 8 of us needing showers with only two working. The Villa is situated up a hill which was off road and every taxi driver complained to us about going up there as they didnt want to ruin their car or get it dirty, we had to be dropped off at the bottom on several occasions which was a good 10-15mins walk up on unsteady road in the heat with children. This was quite frustrating. It was 25-30 mins to shops, bars, restaurants, so we either braved the walk or ordered taxis and had to put up with them being unhappy about the off road, we also hired a car for a few days, be prepared to have to spent a small fortune if you want to get out of the Villa.
