A little disappointing.

The house was, in theory, ideal however, in reality although the pool was excellent, huge and well maintained, there was inadequate shade in the somewhat bare garden, a number of maintenance items required attention while we were there and the whole package had the feeling of a purely commercial operation which ticked the necessary boxes but lacked warmth or any real feeling of hospitality.

Specifically, both showers were poor and only one was fixed, the metal steps to the pool were lose and a fix was promised over the coming winter and most seriously, my mother suffered bad bruising when an outside suspended chair collapsed leaving her shocked and on the floor.

The maintenance man was charming and, we felt, cared but was clearly working to specific instructions. Potential renters should notice the ‘Energy Charge’ buried in the small print. We had a bill for €144 at the end of one week which was a surprise. Our fault for not having spotted it but the first time in over 30 years of holiday rental that our family had experienced this.

Holiday makers should rent this property expecting little in the way of stock food items, an inadequate ‘welcome’ pack that will not cover breakfast and a strictly commercial package. A huge contrast to recent experience in Greece.
