When we first booked to stay, we thought the views cannot really be as good as they are in the pictures. On arrival however we quickly realised that they were. This is an absolutely breathtaking location with the only real downside being that you are so happy to just stay on a sun lounger or have a dip in the pool that you feel no need to venture further afield and see the sites of Mykonos! The accommodation is a perfect size for a small group of people and while it may appear to be a bit “out of the way” taxis are easy to obtain and let’s face it, you can’t have peace and tranquility and be right on top of the action. There were also other little touches which made our stay outstanding. A housekeeper came daily to offer fresh towels (something I might expect in a hotel but not in an Air B&B property), there were Nespresso coffee pods provided for the machine etc.
What really made our stay though was our host. Markos offered to collect us at the ferry when we arrived and take us to the villa. He also collected us at the end of our stay and took us back to the airport. I’ve used Air B&B quite a few times and have never had a host offer to do this. As a local, he was also full of information and recommendations about where to go, what to do, the best restaurants, how to get taxis and direct them to the villa etc and getting to meet him in person rather than just communicate via email added a really personal touch which we all found made for a much better experience.
All in all this was a wonderful experience which I cannot recommend more highly. Will definitely look to return in the future.
