The house is beautiful, with lots of space, a lovely pool and a view over the sea. Everything was new and in excellent condition. The bright white and blue photographs are accurate - it really does look like this (the main picture slightly flatters the size of the pool, but it is still quite big!) A cleaner came once a day to keep things neat and clean. 11 of us were there for a week in October and had a wonderful family visit.

The surroundings were quiet - there are a few other villas in the same development but none were occupied while we were there. There is plenty of distance between them so you would have lots of privacy even if someone was staying there.

Most amenities you would want are provided: washing machine, iron, hair dryer, wifi, lots of power outlets, good hot water. (But be aware that there are no cooking or cleaning supplies provided - not even salt, coffee, dishwashing liquid or cloths).

We only had three small issues:

First, there was some noisy construction work in a nearby house. However the owners called the neighbours and asked them to stop, and we heard nothing more for the rest of our stay.

Second, the house was not quite fully equipped for 10-12 people - the tables are a little too small and there were not enough of some kitchenware items (however, the manager Catherine and her colleague Tiku quickly brought everything we asked for). Perhaps most guests do not cook and eat in the house - if you are planning to eat out you will have no issues.

Third, the 'hot tub' described on the profile is not a hot tub - it is an area with water jets in the (unheated) pool. Fine for a hot summer day but not suitable for relaxing on a cool evening.

But these were minor points. We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely recommend the house.

Some tips: you will want to rent a car or two - there is plenty of space for parking. The house is 5-10 minutes drive from the airport and from Mykonos Town, but would be a little hard to find without someone to show you. Catherine met us at the airport and showed us the way. We had heard it would be difficult to get a taxi, but actually there were plenty (maybe because we were at the end of the season). It's about 10 euros from the town to the house.

Be prepared for the Mykonos winds! Our first two days there were very windy, though after that it was much calmer and very warm. There are enough sheltered areas in and around the house to keep you protected though.

And look out for the friendly but devious cats sneaking around - there was a jet black kitten we named Petra who became very dedicated to us (mainly when we had some food she could beg for, admittedly).
