The location and outlook are superb, and the availability of the garage a real positive, but the property is trading on these benefits. The kitchen is NOT fully equipped, despite being advertised as such. There are no sharp knives, no toaster, no coffee making facilities such as one would normally expect. The sandwich toaster is scratched and frankly unusable. There was only one bin liner for the very small kitchen bin, and objection from the owner when we requested more. The towels were thin, hard and well past their use-by-date. My pillow had no pillow case.
On arrival there was no coffee, tea, sugar or water and not even a small carton of long life milk, in contrast to our experience in other properties in Greece and Italy. The kitchen cupboard had partially open boxes of flour, salt, instant coffee etc from previous guests which had not been cleared away prior to our arrival.
The smell of cleaning materials (vinegar?) on our arrival was overwhelming.
The host was difficult to contact (not available between 11:00 and 19:00 on the day of our arrival) and defensive when we did contact her about issues. We were then told at the last minute that we had to check out earlier than the advertised checkout time because of another guest arriving.
All in all, it felt that everything was being done on the cheap, which is a real disappointment as this property could be superb.
