There’s a lot to like at Villa Iokasti:
- The location is wonderful. It's just a five minute walk to Fira's restaurants, bars and bus station, but on a quiet street so we were not disturbed by noise.
- The bedrooms both have comfortable queen beds and working air conditioning. The second bedroom has a door to the patio, so it wasn't necessary to walk through the middle room to get to the rest of the house.
- The patio was perfect. We spent all of our time there. Loved it!
- The jacuzzi was warm, clean and worked well. We also appreciated the villa's upscale touches like dedicated pool towels, bath robes and slippers.
- The stay includes daily housekeeping. The housekeeper was sweet and did a nice job tiding up. We appreciated not having to deal with trash and recycling.
- The kitchen is adequate. The appliance that looks like a microwave in photos is actually a small oven with three electric burners on top. It's a little awkward to cook on, but we were able to do basics like scrambled eggs. There is also a toaster.
- We were disappointed there were only three mismatched wine glasses. This can be easily remedied.
- There's an ant problem in the kitchen although the housekeeper was cleaning and spraying daily.
- The bathrooms are dingy and mold stained despite the cleaner's best efforts. They both could use some updates. And the second bathroom is very, very small. Showering in it was comical. (Remove the toilet paper first to keep it dry!!)
- Communication could have been better. I never received check in or check out info, although the property manager responded quickly to my texts.
On the whole, we had a very nice stay.
