We had a 2-week stay at Villa Portokali. The main draw card for us renting this villa was its pool, which was great with 2 kids. We wanted to be quite isolated and independent being the first time we'd travelled during COVID.
The actual accommodation is pleasant and clean enough, but the Airbnb description is quite overinflated. Furnishings were cheap, there were no personal touches and no "welcome basket" was left as per the listing. We gave advanced notice we would be arriving late and after a full day of travelling, not even a bottle of water was available. (There was an open bag of ice and 2 teabags, clearly left from the previous guests - never a fan of leftover items).
The housekeeper and grounds/pool keeper were both lovely - so friendly and we loved seeing them - just be aware you will need to bring or buy all your own cleaning products for dishwashing, laundry etc.
The villa stairs are cheaply constructed, and so the climb to the mezzanine bedroom is extremely loud. Would not recommend if you have babies/toddlers (stairs can be heard throughout the villa, even if you creep). The listing clearly shows the sloped roof of the master bedroom so we were aware of this, but the novelty wears off pretty quickly if you are over 5 foot 7 and is replaced with a sore back (our bad). Whilst there is an ensuite upstairs there is no sink. It's a loud trek downstairs if you forget to brush your teeth.
The beds are extremely hard - not one full night's sleep was had, and even our children had trouble sleeping on their beds. Also be aware that there are no mattress or pillow protectors on any of the beds (yes, sheets get changed regularly, but no protectors is really unhygienic for a commercial property).
The property management team were responsive and efficiently sorted out a fuse problem shutting down the power in the villa.
In a nutshell, this villa is on par with a big city serviced apartment with pool - if that's what you're after, you'll love it.
