This property may be perfect for you but we would have preferred a property closer to town and a beach. I hope our honest review will help you decide if this property is for you. As long as you have a car, it is a beautiful property, island and lots to explore.
Pros:
Olga met us at the ferry and guided us to the property. Extremely well maintained property and well stocked for our large group with towels, toilet paper, shampoo, soap and everything you need in a kitchen.
Great outdoor space on all three levels; always possible to find shade. Outdoor full bathroom was an excellent highlight.
We booked the whole house which was set up as three units. Breathtaking views, enjoyed the stars at night. Extremely private.
Olga generously offered us departure gifts of olives and olive oil.
Cons:
The description of the location in the in the listing and communication with Olga lead us to believe we would be within walking distance of a beach and town or restaurants. We were celebrating birthdays with another large group that were staying in Old Town and we thought we would be a lot closer. We planned to entertain the group one night but the logistics of getting to our villa was too difficult. They did not have nor need cars because they had access to taxis (but taxis would not drive all the way to this villa)
This villa is very isolated and we needed to have three cars to shuttle our group to the old town, beaches and the port. Taxis would not drive down the last kilometer of the gravel road which would have been a problem walking for my 85 year old father and daughter with sprained ankle. Olga offered us her car for 65 euros/day but we were able to rent a brand new, similar car for 30 in the port including full insurance so we opted for that.
No air conditioning but fans in all rooms. It was very warm and if we left the unscreened doors open, the owners black cat would make herself at home. My husband is allergic to cats so we had to keep the unscreened doors closed which prevented a cross breeze. However, most doors and windows had screens.
There were other stray cats on the property which Olga would drop by to feed and to water her plants. If you are not cat lovers, this property is not for you.
WIFI in only available in the middle unit; this is not clear in the listing and to be noted if you are renting the top or bottom unit.
Unfortunately, not able to use the outdoor bbq at this time due to fire danger laws.
