Beautiful views, terrible to get to, dangerous electrics and gas job, showers don’t work!😢
We arrived at night and required a boat to take luggage food and family, I had to walk as there was not enough room. The walk from where you park the car to villa is 1km. On meeting the boat we had to lug all our luggage 50m up a steep hill and narrow path. First impression in villa were great and the next morning the views were amazing! Problems started as we started to live there. Electric appliances very dangerous! The toaster, microwave & dishwasher will all give you a shock and more so if your hands were at all damp/wet! Then the gas hob is a real concern!! No carbon alarms so if any fault you won’t know about it but the gas is far from set upright! After making just one pot of boiling water it was thick in black soot underneath, really a bad sign of been set right. The shower, many days I had to go without as it just would not work? You might get between 1-2 minutes some days if you were lucky but many times it would give nothing. Strangely though the outside shower worked ok but only a cold water shower.
This was probably everybody’s biggest complaint in the family especially as the other 3 were ladies with long hair to wash.
Going anywhere was off putting having to walk 1km in 38+ degrees of heat dressed for the night and the thought of having to carry all your food and WATER back after was very awful!!
On arriving we made it very clear we needed a boat to take us back at 9am when the day arrived the boat didn’t even after txting days before. On the day they said the water was too rough but there was very little waves, far less than there had been all week? We think it was probably because we’d not eaten at his restaurant as he owned the only restaurant in Milna all I know is it was made clear they could not help so I had to carry 100kg of suitcases, hand luggage & bits 1km across a dirt track in 35 degrees with clothes fit for my return to UK, I have a serious lung condition and my wife has arthritis so this was the worst possible out come we could have!
To some it up, if you only travel with back packs, like electric shocks and don’t normally shower this is the place for you. It’s a real shame as the views and beach are amazing I just wish you felt like they cared a bit more about your safety, things working properly and getting you back to you car!
A real shame 😕
