Unfortunately, we truly did not enjoy our stay at this villa for a number of reasons:
1. When you pull up to the villa, it looks as though you're staying on a building site. We booked a boat tour and we had arranged to be picked up from our villa. The coach to collect us was late as they couldn't possibly believe that the entrance to our villa was quite literally an unfinished building site.
2. The drains in the bathroom had a horrible smell from the moment we arrived.
3. Thirdly and most importantly, we were harassed constantly by the owner. My husband and I were staying at this villa for a few days running up to our wedding. I had a spray tan in Thira a few days before the wedding. I tried to be careful, but unfortunately I got some tan on the bed and the sofa. I notified the owner immediately and apologised. However, having had spray tans for over ten years, I know for a fact that they are designed to be washed out of bedding. I have always been able to get tan out of bedding with absolutely no issues.
From the day we left (the day before our wedding), we received emails, texts and missed calls from the owner. I told them it was my wedding/honeymoon, and that I would talk to them after the holiday. This didn't deter them. We received an email asking for £230 to replace the damaged sheets and cover. I told them that this was a ridiculous price, and they've been unable to provide a breakdown of this cost.
Airbnb have been in touch and have asked them to provide documentation (which they have still not provided). I did not appreciate being harassed during my wedding/honeymoon, especially about something so ridiculous.
I would certainly not recommend this villa to anyone under any circumstances. There are far nicer villas in better locations (not a building site), where you will not be harassed by the owner.
The only good thing was the check-in. We arrived around 11pm and the owner had arranged to meet us at the villa to hand over the keys.
