Beautiful villa in the hills overlooking water and mountains
What a beautiful view of the water, village and the mountains (which were snow covered in March)! Facilities were comfortable. Especially enjoyed the outdoor bed and the balcony

Beautiful, quiet and private villa with excellent facilities close to Plaka and Almyrida’s beach front
Splendidly quiet location overlooking the bay and mountains with private pool that wasn’t overlooked
It’s quite a trek up the hill from the beach that might not suit young and old families, but there is a good and reliable taxi service for €10.

Not the relaxing retreat expected for £1500 for 4 night stay, not luxurious
Quality sunbeds/bean beds and swimming pool. Well equipped kitchen with quality appliances (although didn’t use them)
For the price paid £1500 for 4 nights expected luxury- this was not luxury or worthy of price paid. Photos on this platform are old library pictures and do not depict the villa in its current condition. Felt it was mis-sold. Bed linen cheap quality, expected crisp white Egyptian cotton, pillows had an awful odour to them, again old and need replacement. The first floor terrace furniture is badly stained on the orange seat pads and the tired old settees did not demonstrate luxury and require replacing for the price of this villa. The front garden overgrown and not tended to, no outdoor seating to see the view which is now obstructed by trees/bushes and hedges so can only be viewed if you stand up on the 1st floor or stand at the perimeter wall of the grounds which was not expected. Didn’t like the fact it felt insecure, unable to lock the front access gates, alarm on the property not connected, the street light on the post outside serving 3 villa access is also not working. The rear windows of the villa and French doors display marks and some indents where someone had tried to jemmy the locks to break into the property. Permanent steel bars at the kitchen door also add to the feeling of insecurity. There is also no safety deposit box for your valuables and so we locked ours in the boot of the car as we felt insecure. The amount of discarded rubbish around the grounds of the villa, an old window propped up against the villa wall near the BBQ, pile of wood and awning blinds dumped over the wall by the pool and to the side a worn out armchair and random other items including a blue cage all give the impression this is rather uncared for. There is no welcome pack - not advertised as providing yet all villas stayed in over last 15 years always put some basics in the fridge, bread, yogurt, some eggs just to get you started - not here! No wine glasses only tumblers, asked owner by what’s app whose response was to use the tumblers - for £1500 I expect a wine glass!

Unforgettable views of the mountains AND the sea
The location, the view was amazing and the proximity to restaurants and the beach
The water was very hot in the shower making it difficult for us to bathe. It was scalding hot most of the time, otherwise lukewarm

Lots of potential, not recommended based on my experience
The views are outstanding, lots to love about the location as the nearby beaches and restaurants are great.
We arrived at 5pm on check in day, after a long travel day from the UK. We discovered that the owner, Guy, was helping the previous guests pack their cars as they were only checking out at that point (5pm!). Guy admitted that he expected us to arrive at 11pm that evening (which he admitted was his mistake) and that the house would be ready in a few hours so I was welcome to venture into the town to explore. Having a tired toddler and a 4 month old baby, I felt this was completely unacceptable as a response as check in was clearly stated from 2:30pm on the booking. Instead we had to enter the house to unpack and put the baby down for a sleep, while the previous guests were packing & the cleaners were making their way through the house. We did not receive a warm welcome and did not receive a tour of the house (eg. I never knew where the house keys were upon leaving the next day). This is a completely unacceptable situation to welcome guests into. The cleaners ended up leaving the house at 9:30pm, a complete waste of a 1st evening in the house as we could not feel settled and make ourselves at home until that time. There are a number of points I would make which if improved, would make the stay a lot more comfortable: Whilst the infinity pool is stunning, the pool is 1.5m deep ie. Not ideal at all for small children, there was an issue with the only shower/bath as the cold temperature couldn’t be controlled and as a result the children were not able to bath properly. Overall, I feel this property has loads of potential but due to my experience, I cannot recommend staying here.

wonderful memories made from our stay at Bliss House Villa.
Bliss house Villa had all we needed from a holiday, stunning views, the pool was wonderful and house was comfortable for us and our two teenagers. the AC made the nights comfortable, the Wi-Fi was good and TV had Netflix, a speaker for the days around the pool. The local beach was sandy, clean 16euros for 2 umbrellas and 4beds and had waited service from the tavernas on the main strip. The sunsets where spectacular every night.
We didn’t have a car and had to get taxis, the location of the villa is up a very steep hill you would struggle with a push chair. We walked 10 mins to the nearest town to the super market and tavernas and 20 mins to the beach but the walk home up the hills was too much. But we managed without a car, the local taxi service was very good and in all worked out cheaper than hiring a car.
