Plek is top! Hele mooie locatie.

Een toilet en wat gebrek aan luxe.

This is a beautiful villa in a lovely setting. It has many plus points - air con, decent size private pool, comfortable beds and comfortable sun loungers. There is also a cleaner who comes roughly every other day to empty the bins and supply fresh towels and Solaris (who manage the property) are at the end of the phone and very responsive if anything goes wrong (which it did - power cuts!).

Do not book this villa expecting the height of luxury. It is very nice, but it is not high end, high spec. The kitchen equipment is old and dated, the kitchen itself is not brilliantly equipped and there is only one toilet/shower room, which is functional, but again not luxurious. But then, I think the price is fair and reflects this. A high end villa with a private pool would be double the price of this. Some points to be aware of: - The villa is located in the hills above Kassiopi, accessed by a rough track off the main road. You can get a car up there, but be prepared to tackle a bumpy, precarious track (quite common with Greek villas unfortunately) - It is a 30 minute walk down the hill into Kassiopi town, along a busy road with no pavement (until you get nearer the town). It is a steep schlep back up - but there are local taxi services that will bring you back up for 10 Euros - The villa is semi-detached and the local Greek couple who live in the other part have to walk through the courtyard, alongside the villa's terrace and pool to get into their house. They are very nice - but it is not private and be aware that you will see them coming and going. - The pool itself is not overly clean. The filters look like they haven't been cleaned out in a long time and there is no apparent pool maintenance/checks/cleaning/chlorinating going on. - Lastly there are 4 wild cats who have adopted the villa garden/courtyard as their home. We love cats and were happy to have them there and actually fed them and put water down every day. But the cats mean that the area around the pool does smell quite badly of cat pee. This could be solved by a weekly jet wash, but I get the impression that this is not done and wasn't done before we arrived or the 2 weeks we were there.

Host was very responsive, the rooms were comfortable and the views and pool were great.

The water stopped working on two mornings (but was fixed quite quickly), we had issues with one of the aircon units blowing out hot air at night, we couldn’t leave the washing machine on when we went out, and the outside lights were on a timer so we had to sit out in complete darkness for a big part of the evening.

Great view
