10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Nov 2022
The villa met our expectations as our priorities were to have sea/mountain views (it has both), quiet neighborhood, and a spacious property for our group (at least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms). Communication with the owner was pretty good. We had to ask for hot water to be turned on, but this may be common on Crete. There are some broken/worn out items that could be replaced/repaired (pots/pans, washing machine), but overall we don’t have any real complaints. The owner did leave us a very nice meal for our late arrival. We also enjoyed their Taverna down the street. It was a bit cold for the pool, so we only tried that once (which was when we noticed we didn’t have hot water!). But again, location, value fir the money, and the views were all outstanding.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2023
For the first three days in the property, our vacation was made very difficult because of the smell of damp, which was so bad that my wife wanted to leave and stay somewhere else on our first day of being in the property. It spoiled the beginning of our holiday.
The fact that the property had not been opened and that it was damp inside for a long time meant that, even though we had all the windows open, candles and air fresheners, and that we left the property for a long time during the days to let it air out, it was still a terrible smell of damp and very upsetting. This is not what you want to be encountering on the first days of a vacation that you’ve been waiting for and looking forward to for three months. It made the kitchen unbearable so we did not cook for those days. Every time we opened the drawers under or around the sink for utensils to cook with, we were met with the same horrible smell of damp so we moved the cutlery and spoons and things needed to the other cabinets to stop as having to open those drawers.
If this were my property I would feel bad to put the people renting from me in this position and I would offer some kind of compensation to offset the distaste, inconvenience and disappointment which spoiled the first 3 days of our holiday. This did not happen even after I bought up the point to the owners after the holiday.
In retrospect, all this property needed was for the owners to open the doors a week ahead and to check the interior to make sure
