Great villa, amazing location and views. Private but close to the port (15’ drive), as well as beaches and restaurants. Flexible on check-in and check-out, overall a perfect experience.
First of all, I would like to say that MyGreek-Villa and especially Victor from the platform were extremely helpful and always super quick with any question/requests. The bad review was not caused by them. Now to the experience with the villa/owner. We had booked the villa for 18 guys. When we arrived at the villa, the owner Spyros came and he didnt look happy already. Instead of welcoming us and showing us around the villa, the first he he said was: "Hello. Tell me, what do you want to know?" We haven't seen the villa from inside or anything. Was a bit weird, but we asked some questions. Soon he started to state all kind of rules: no loud music/noise (even inside the villa)/ no alcohol / quiet hours from 3pm to 5.30pm and again after 11pm/ no diving in the pool, otherwise there won't be water in the pool(ridiculous, why else would you want to use a pool?). If we won't stick to his rules, he would kick us out. Nowhere during the booking, these rules were stated. He spoke to us in a rude way, we were very surprised. We just arrived, didn't do anything, but he already talked to us, like he's the police and we are his suspects. Not welcoming at all. Just within a few moments, the mood of the whole group was already down. During our stay, he came inside the villa to make inspections 3 to 4 times a day! I mean, if we are too loud and neighbors are complaining, sure he can come and tell us to be less noisy. But he just regularly came to check without any reason. There was no privacy, it felt like we are under his arrest. I mean he knew how many we are and we paid a good amount of money. You can't take the money, then make up new rules, and behave in this rude way. Additionally, when we booked, we agreed, that he would put an extra bed, which he didn't. Also the PlayStation was missing from the description. But these issues were clearly the least problematic. I'm not what his issue was. When reading the other reviews, the always praise the villa owner. Maybe it's because, we were a big group or because we all had brown skin. On the last day, he surprisingly became friendly. Probably because he realized we didn't cause any issue during the stay. But that's not the way how you treat guests. Never ever will I rent from Spyros again.

Had booked a private chef over the platform. Food was great
We loved our stay in your beautiful villa. It is a superb property (lots of wonderful art and quirkiness) fantastic design with wonderful sweeping views and great facilities. Very well suited to our large family birthday gathering and celebrations. Big thanks to Costas for helping with our bookings and birthday cake and for the lovely gifts of homemade marmalade, pies - olives and eggs from the chickens! We all felt very comfortable and would highly recommend!!! Gary and Ali and Family
This house overlooking the sea just south of Kamena Vourla is absolutely spectacular.
The house is beautiful with lots of space (family of 5 - 'children' aged 21, 18 and 16) and a very well equipped kitchen - the big fridge is especially lovely. The outside area is hard to see on the photos but there is a great area between the house and pool with sun loungers and a table and chairs where we had lunch and dinner. The sunsets in the evening are amazing and the 2 minute walk down to the beach also was great for a sunset swim. There are two apartments below the house who share the extended deck area but not the pool or the area outside the house. This works very well and the presence of other guests did not in any way impinge on our space.
The villa was clean and spacious so it was perfect for our two families.
The host had provided us with the essentials- water, milk bread, cheese and ham, besides the cupboards were full of teas, coffees etc. A smart tv with Netflix was ideal for chilling out in the evenings. WIFI was easily available throughout the villa. The outdoor area was gated and safe, with a pool and plenty of loungers/seating
