Host super efficiente, posizione ottima

Only the view

We recently stayed at this villa in Santorini and, while there were some positives, overall we felt the property was overpriced for what was provided. The view was absolutely beautiful and probably the best thing about the stay. However, the location was not very convenient. Public transport is difficult to access, and in our opinion, a car is essential if you stay here, especially when travelling with children. For a longer stay, particularly for a family with kids, we expected some basic facilities that were missing. There was no washing machine or dishwasher, no proper cooker, and not enough cooking pots and utensils to comfortably prepare meals. These are basic facilities we would expect when booking a villa for a longer stay. The bedroom also had very limited storage space, which made it difficult to organise our belongings. There was also a narrow/low section of the wall that we repeatedly hit our heads on when moving around the room, which was quite uncomfortable. We were surprised that the duvet was provided without a duvet cover, and we were unsure how frequently it was cleaned or changed between guests. The bathrooms are quite outdated and could really benefit from renovation. We also did not realise before arriving that the property uses salt water from the taps, so the tap water is not fresh water. Basic kitchen items such as salt, sugar and kitchen paper were also not provided. What made the price particularly disappointing was that a friend of ours was staying in a two-bedroom apartment elsewhere in Santorini for less money than we paid, and their stay even included a car as well as airport pick-up and drop-off. Comparing the two experiences, we felt that this property did not offer good value for the amount we paid. The property has great potential because of the fantastic view, but considering the price, we expected much better facilities, comfort and overall value.
