We would without question stay at this airbnb again and loved our time there. The accommodation helped make this a trip we will never forget!
What made this place great
* The view and private pool - uninterrupted to the sea, fantastic sunsets
* The location - in the quiet, charming old village of Finikia. This villa isn't standalone but in a small "resort" of 6-7 units. However it's the best one at the end of the path with no one between you and the non-Caldera side of the Mediterranean Sea. Some of our favourite meals were at restaurants less than 2 minutes away - Meze Meze and Lefkes.
* The staff - Billy and Elena were fantastic hosts, very helpful and took care of reservations/advice without issue. On arrival and departure the on-site custodian took our luggage without issue
* Air conditioning - worked great if we weren't using the natural breeze that was often flying through
* Wifi - fast and reliable, no issue.
* Showers - great water pressure and fantastic views
What could make this place even better
* Kitchenette and kettle - while they brought us cutlery and coffee pods, there was only a small fridge and a countertop. A cook top and kettle would be a great addition
* Drawers and shelves - we had to leave our clothes out beacuse there weren't any great places to put our belongings
What you should be aware of
* Privacy within the unit - the glass showers look directly into both bedrooms. Be careful
* Parking - you have to walk 300m between the car park and the unit. This made it charming, but it was a surprise for us initially when we arrived. Sometimes the car park was full and you had to park up the hill - which could be a bit of a hot walk in the middle of summer
* Standalone villa vs in a complex - we thought it was a standalone unit on booking. It's in a 6 unit complex as mentioned above - no real drama, but just be aware
