Overall my friends and I greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Callista. We were 9 people, and we fit very comfortably. There was more than enough plates, cutlery, bedding, towels, etc. Nikos and Vana were very quick to respond when we had any questions (ex: booking taxis, renting motor vehicles) or issues (ex: the stove broke during our stay but Nikos had it replaced the next morning!) .
While the house and property were beautiful, we experienced several issues that negatively impacted our stay unfortunately. The wifi did not work, which was a major issue as we all work remotely. There were no basic cooking ingredients such as oil, salt and pepper. Also, the listing did not specify that a cleaning service would be provided on a daily basis. While we appreciate the dedication to cleanliness, my friends and I felt that the cleaning person was more bothersome than helpful as she stayed at the Villa for 8+ hours per day. It is also relevant to specify that the owner's sister lives below the Villa with her two young kids. We would have preferred to know about this before booking. Finally, we could only shower one by one because the water pressure and temperature did not work properly, which was inconvenient for a group of 9 people. Nikos hired a technician to fix the issue (thank you!) but the issue was not fixed by the time we checked out.
