Perfekt
Schönes Haus in fantastischer Lage. Mega freundliche Besitzer. In der dazugehörigen Taverne bekommt man sehr leckeres griechisches Essen zu unglaublich fairen Preisen. Man fühlt sich absolut willkommen. Wunderschöne Strände und sauberes klares Meer.

Villa Despina
Après un long voyage, nous avons été accueillis par un panier avec des petites douceurs locales! Hôte très gentil, à l’écoute et prêt à nous rendre service. Maison et linge de maison très propre. Nettoyage prévu durant le séjour ainsi que le remplacement des serviettes et des serviettes de plage. L’hôte tient une taverne à proximité de la maison où l’on mange vraiment très bien (et avec une plaine de jeux pour les enfants). Voiture indispensable pour les déplacements. La villa se situe à 10 min de plusieurs plages. Très chouette séjour, nous avons passé de très bonnes vacances!

Great space but bad welcome due to damp
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

Gemischte Realität
Das Haus hat eine sehr schöne Aussicht, man kann die Berge und von der Ferne den Anblick des Meeres geniessen. Was mich entäuscht hat war die Beschreibung des Hauses. Sie hat leider nichts mit der Realität des Hauses zu tun. Sauna und Kamin habe ich nicht gefunden, obwohl ich mich darauf gefreut hatte.
