Villa Garden

The balcony and the spacious room both had a nice view. Check-in was a hassle because nobody was there, so we had to call someone. The room also still needed cleaning when check-in time came, and we waited for that to be done. The air conditioner wouldn’t work until we bought batteries for its remote.

I really like the vibe here. The place has been taken up to a new level of luxury, and I’d definitely recommend it.

The upper floor has a pretty view, but downstairs you’re only about 2 meters from people using the pool. The room itself is simple and looks nice, though that’s about the best of it. The sheets had suspicious marks and cigarette holes, and the shower curtain didn’t cover the shower. We ran out of toilet paper on day two and couldn’t find anyone at reception when we went to ask. There was nobody there at checkout either, so a man said he’d pass the keys to the owner. We only saw the nice reception guy once. It wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t good. It might be an alright option if you don’t expect to spend much time in your room.

For under 40 euros a day, I thought it was good value. The room was nice and had a bit of a Greek house feel, with a good view of the city and sea from the top floor, which is the first floor. It’s about 800 meters from the city center or Fira bus terminal, though not right by the shore. The bathroom was a little dirty, but okay for us. Wi-Fi was very slow and kept dropping out, possibly because our top-floor room had a weak signal.
