My husband and I have just spent a week here on our honeymoon.
The villa, pool and outside area are truly gorgeous and absolutely pristine!
The bed was the most comfortable we’ve slept in, with lovely pillows and bed linen, and the villa as a whole is comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated.
The villa also has a private driveway, so there was plenty of space to store the buggy we rented, and Thira is only a 5-10 minute walk up the hill.
Although we didn’t meet Theoni, she was very friendly via messages and had stocked the fridge up for our arrival, which was a really kind and appreciated gesture. She also arranged transfers for us to and from the airport, as well as allowing us to keep our suitcase in the villa until we headed to the aiport on our last day (€50 each way).
Although we absolutely loved the villa, there were sadly a few downsides to our stay.
After being greeted at the villa and left with the keys, my husband went to lock up for the night but noticed that there was no key for the main gate. I messaged Theoni and she replied the next morning, saying that we must have been given the second set of keys.
Theoni told me where I could find the main set but unfortunately they weren’t where she said. She told us not to worry as no one opens the gate, but we would have liked to have been able to lock it for peace of mind, and also didn’t like the idea that the keys were missing. We didn’t want to make a fuss, so we just accepted that we wouldn’t be able to lock it.
This is not Theoni’s fault and just unfortunate timing for us, but there are currently apartments being built right next door to the villa, so construction work (drilling and hammering) could be heard in the morning and when relaxing by the pool during the day.
Alongside this, (again, not Theoni’s fault but something to bare in mind) there is a campsite just outside the front of the villa, that plays loud music throughout the day and into the late evening. When inside with the windows shut and the air con on the music can’t be heard, but when sitting outside it can be heard clearly and became quite annoying by the end of our stay.
