A great view but no peace or privacy
I was looking for somewhere peaceful and private to recover from a major operation. The "owner" on the web site (Stefanos Nachmias who was not, in fact, the owner) assured me in response to emails that it was both. As soon as we arrived we realised that his assurances were untrue. First, the terrace was almost completely overlooked by a 3 floor hotel (cleverly not shown in the photos) about 200m away behind and to the left of the villa looking from the sea. Second, the traffic noise from the main island road running (unseen) about 200m below the villa made it impossible to enjoy any peace during the day and well into the evening.
The villa has a single huge barn-like room upstairs with reasonably well-equipped kitchen, dining and sitting areas. However, there were no reading lights*, villa instructions (such as how to get hot water on the days the sun doesn't shine), or anything to indicate that it had ever been let. Downstairs, the "main bedroom" is a disaster. A small room with just a single small window above the bed (which was, however, very comfortable). The other 2 bedroom are even smaller but with windows overlooking the hotel. There were no bedside lights in any of the bedrooms*. The en suite bathroom to the main bedroom (obviously a later add-on) was well finished but had a a large jacuzzi bath that took an hour to fill! The other small bathroom had a medium length bath but the plug* was missing. Until I turned the washing machine through 90 degrees it was almost impossible to use, as was the toilet.
The terrace and its view were the best part of this villa provided you don't mind traffic noise and being overlooked by a 3 storey hotel (The Irida).
*The real owner, a very nice man, did provide a bath plug and 2 bedside lights when requested.
