Not only is Villa dei Ciottoli beautiful and spacious, enough to get five stars, but Dionysis’s generosity and thoughtful hosting made this the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at!
The villa is about 20mins walk from the centre of old town, in a quieter neighbourhood, which made it a perfect location for us. We were a group of four women and we had plenty of space across the villa. I’m not sure it would be as suitable for young families (the stairs are steep and the third bed is not in a private room) - but it is perfect for any other group! The photos do not do justice to how lovely and surprisingly spacious the accommodation is - the courtyard was our favourite part to hang out during the afternoon/evenings.
We didn’t arrive until 11:30pm our first night due to a delayed flight, but Dionysis very kindly waited for us and was very helpful with travel information over whatsapp. The villa was fully stocked with all the groceries we would need during our stay as well as wine and beer. Dionysis had thought of everything we could possibly ask for, and he also pointed out all the best local spots for seafood and cocktails!
Throughout our trip, Dionysis was easily contactable and provided great extra information about taxis and tourist spots - he even offered to book our taxis for us. Angelica came everyday to clean too which meant that the place was always fresh and tidy.
This felt just as luxurious as staying at a 5 star hotel, but with more privacy and far better value - the villa exceeded our expectation in every way. We’re very grateful! Dionysis is truly the most exceptional host, and I would strongly recommend Villa dei Ciottoli to anyone!
