Vasilis is charming BUT NOT a good host. We were misinformed of transfer fee from port to villa. When driver did arrive he did not have my name on his card or name of villa. Luckily, I did some research and knew that it went by another name. Asked driver who still got it confused because he thought ride was for six people and we were only three. Therefore we spent the next 20 minutes looking for the driver that I had initially found but he didn't realize it. In the future, just put the guests name on the card. Very simple.
When we arrived at villa, we were told that they werectoo busy to provide a proper check in and would come back later. That never happened. We couldn't get safety lock boxes to work. Keys were dropped off. Those didn't work either but told someone would come by later to show us how to use them. That never happened.
Vasilis told us that previous guests were partying too much and broke the table in the backyard that we had looked forward to using. However, not to worry it would be replaced during our stay. That never happened. Back door of villa DID NOT lock. Was very concermed about this and brought it to the attention of one of his assistants who told me that they key we were given should lock the back door. Told him that it does not. Then he told me well not to worry because they have 24 hour security. Needless to say, I worried everytime we left the villa or went to sleep.
Cleaning people only came one time during stay and without our permission. So I was shocked to see them in our villa. Normally, you get asked permission.
Upon our departure, we asked for tranfer to the port and help withour luggage. The only help they had was one female. There were many stairs and heavy suitcases so we took our luggage down by ourselves.
Vasilis told me that he would check in to make sure that rest of our stay went smoothly after initial mishaps. But like I said, Vasilis is a charming, smooth talker but provided NOTHING in the end. Have never experienced a less present host. Only cares about taking your money not in your experience or comfort level.
Villa is in an amazing location overlooking Paradise Beach...noisy at night but bearable. Pool was great. Three lounge chairs. Two bedrooms upstairs. One in basement. Nowhere to hang clothes in master bedroom upstairs so had to hang clothes in the basement. En suite shower in master bedroom has no curtain or walls so floor will get soaked. Otherwise master bedroom is the best with amazing views to pool and beach, as well as balcony overlooking the pool. 2nd bedroom upstairs is a little smaller, separate bathroom. Still nice though. Basement bedroom is largest....the room itself and en suite shower BUT it is in the basement so can be a bit claustrophobic.
Villa itself is FIVE STARS 🌟
Vaslis gets only ONE STAR
AND HONESTLY WOULD GIVE ZERO IF THAT WERE POSSIBLE.
So not saying don't stay here but don't expect much from your host AND make sure that he has resolved back door issue that doesn't have a key to lock it. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!!!
