Platanias is a great location- the villa is towards the western edge. The local beach is gritty, steeps very steeply and was unsafe for swimming on several days of our stay.
The villa is one of a group of four. Be aware that the villa has fairly basic amenities eg no WiFi, no dishwasher, and some amenities were rather worn. We think the facilities and photos we saw on booking were for another villa because the description plus extra information from host did not match ours. Critically for us there was no shaded area outside apart from a translucent sunshade. Even reinforced with a sheet draped over it we only had shade for two of our group of five.
The pool was great for swimmers but unsuitable for small children - 1.2 m deep throughout, sharp edges, and not possible to hold onto two of the four sides as there was a tall wall. A year ago our (fairly tall) 8 year olds would have been quite unsafe, they were just ok.
The villa was cleaned daily by Irene, who did an excellent job and was flexible and helpful.
