Location, location, location. Location. This villa may not be the fanciest on Ios, or most luxurious on Ios. What it does have is the best location on Ios. The hilltop view overlooking the port from two levels is absolutely stunning and constantly changing throughout the day. Even the local taxi driver who had not been there before said “Oh wow” when he pulled up. It also is a very short walk to Chora with supermarkets, car rental and restaurants. The house is comfortable and functional. Kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, you could actually cook a little. We had laundry available, hair dryer, curling iron, iron and ironing board. We had a couple of snags like an AC unit in one bedroom that failed overnight, which they had replaced immediately the next day with a brand new unit. The top deck is great and when the wind is whipping the covered, glazed in deck has the same view. My only wish was that they’d had a pool, but given the location it’s difficult to see where they’d put it!
