It's important to understand the layout of this villa. We travelled with my 3 (adult) kids, and my daughter's partner. We had to split between the levels. So basically, our boys and us stayed at the main apartment at the top, and my daughter and her partner stayed in the downstairs smaller apartment. The pool can only be accessed when you go down the stairs (like 3 floors down). No direct access from the house.
The property is rather clean. There's some mould in the bathrooms, there are tiny ants in the terrace and around the pool. We did find some in the kitchen too (not many because we kept it very clean all the time).
The owner of the villa, Vilelmina, lives in a downstairs apartment, right next to the smaller rented apartment. She and her husband do not speak a single word of English.
When we got to the villa it was totally empty. I am sure it is possible to leave salt, Nescafe, oil from previous occupants - but no. Nothing at all. There wasn't even a bar of soap to wash your hands after the trip. Apparently, even toilet paper is not supplied throughout your stay. Vilelmina gave us one roll when we ran out of the initial supply and then directed us to the minimarket to buy a package. The smallest contains 8 rolls.
The water in the villa is undrinkable. When I asked Vilelmina if it is possible to cook pasta in this water she gave me a bottle of filtered water from a filtering tap she has in her kitchen. Couldn't help wondering why there isn't such a tap in the rental. We spent a lot of money on water...
Another thing to note is that you can't leave the windows open because there are no insect nets. The owners have nets on their windows, but not in the rental. If you leave the windows open a wasp or two would probably fly in... This was especially problematic since the air-conditioning only exists in the bedrooms. Which means the kitchen and living room are crazy hot and you can't air the kitchen when cooking. The ceiling fans in the living room do very little to help.
The location of the villa is very good, in a nice area. The Pignata coffee and Janis supermarket which are within walking distance from the villa make your experience even better. 10 min drive to Kassiopi, less to the nearest amazing and not over crowded beaches.
Directions to the villa are supplied by the manager, including GPS coordinates. We used the GPS data, but both google maps and Waze directed us to the wrong turn at the end - note that you have to keep straight towards
