A little bit of a mixed review, but all in all a very good place that made for a great vacation for our group.
Pros:
Great villa, with a great outdoor area. The area is great. Beautiful nature around the property with a small mountain which is great for a small hike. Also, the beach (Stavros Zorbas beach) is only 400 metres away and is sooo stunning with crystal clear waters. Inside is not super clean or modern, but compared to other places in the area this is top notch. The pool was so beautiful with lovely, lovely sunbeds. Furthermore there was a great grill area with both classic open bbq and pizza oven (no pizza shovel though). Just in front of the pool a lovely lounge area with benches and chairs. Very beautiful as well. We had electricity problems. However, they were real quick on helping us with this. Great service!!
On the villa itself, this was a five star experience, which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
Cons:
The check-in and out were poor. First on the "in"-part: We were told we could check in early (5 am) so we booked an overnight flight for that reason only. When I wrote about something else 4 days before arrival, all of a sudden the host said that some baby had been "severely intoxicated". This seemed and seems like the owner just forgot and booked with someone else (we met the previous occupants which said nothing when asked). In the message she then promised to let us check-in at 11 am. However, at 11 am no one except a cleaning lady, was there and the mom of the owner didn't come until 3-4 pm.
At check-out we had some trouble as well. The mother of the owner (who were really sweet, but struggled with her English and came to the house at all times of day unannounced) told us the day before check-out that we could use the pool area on the day of check out from 11 am till 4 pm, which was perfect for us due to late flights. However, all of a sudden, she came around 12 and shouted at us to get the hell out. Apparently, the guys that cleaned the pool had come at 5 am (which means you cannot use the pool on the last day, which nobody told us). When we tried to apologize a million times and offer to pay for the guys cleaning to pool, she simply said "Get your shit and leave the house, now!". We might have misunderstood her instructions (though 6 people heard her say it the day before), but for us this is no way to treat a paying customer.
However, again: this was a really nice place and I think our problems were simply because of misunderstandings!
