Excellent views and pool but the villa is a bit tired and in need of some TLC
Pros
- The pool is extremely large and has the most stunning views across to the Greek island .
- We read the recent poor review so queried about there was not a BBQ which was advertised on the VRBO website. They bought one for our stay which was excellent.
- The service provided by Hilary and Yusuf was very responsive.
- Lovely welcome pack of tomatoes, fruit juice, coffee, bread, marg, fruit bowl, jam, eggs and bread
- They supplied washing up liquid, dishwasher tablet, cloths etc
- Having access to the sea was amazing
- Effective and quiet aircon
Cons
- The bathrooms are both a bit outdated - the shower in the ensuite to the main bedroom had mould/black round the edges and when my husband had the first shower he opened the shower door over the lovely fluffy white towel which covered it in black gunge
- There were light bulbs not working in the ensuite and outside.
- The light switch to the main bedroom ensuite kept falling off and there was a plug socket in the lounge that was coming away from the wall and could be dangerous for small children
- We had to hunt round for a plug for the kitchen sink which we found in the ensuite and then when there was a leak in the kitchen we were told that we had probably filled the sink too high which we hadn't. We think there was problem hence not having a plug available!
- Kitchen had the main utensils but all saucepan lids had not handles and there were no dishes to bake anything in the oven other than large cooker baking trays
- The kitchen was quite basic, the fridge was clean but iced up and seemed to work overtime.
- Lovely big dining table but a couple of times because of the wasps we ate at the table but the chairs were so low compared with the height of the table it was very uncomfortable
- The seats on the sun deck near the sea were broken
- We were lucky that the property next door was unoccupied otherwise we would have been overlooked when sitting at the outside table and also when using the BBQ
- We only found the pool lights on the last evening when we asked Yusuf ..... not obvious at all. It should have been on the welcome sheet.
- No long mirror or place to hang dresses
- Large bushes are growing up round the infinity pool and beginning to block out the lovely views (something for the owners to consider removing)
The standard of the accommodation was well below what we had expected for the price, but if all you want is a big pool and amazing views then you won't be disappointed.
