Nice location - uncomfortable hosting
Nice house in good location, some nice restaurants, beach bars and boat/kayak/pedalo rental - nice towns 5 minute drive away also. We had some issues at this property: *There was a misunderstanding from the host for our arrival time (they thought 10am when we had said 10pm (host confirmed 10pm was okay a few days before) - so they waited at the property all day. When we arrived host was drunk and stayed over in one of the rooms - without asking us, walked in on some of us getting changed as didn't knock. Presume the sheets were not changed the next day when he left. *Listing says olive oil, raki etc would be provided and help with airport transfer booking - when asked these were not available but no communication was provided to say this. *Downstairs room had overwhelming chemical / toilet smell - Did not want to leave a bad review, contacted the host to resolve and discuss these issues. Feedback from the host was not pleasant. Saying it is our fault on arrival times and they thought we were lost 'for 11 hours' (this is not correct as they confirmed at 10.30am day of arrival our time was actually 10pm and this was okay for them) and also said we left the house unlocked and this was a big issue, we were just following instructions from the host that greeted us to leave the keys in the door (they had only messaged us on the night before leaving RE a different instruction, which we did not see until we had left) - host is now ignoring messages.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Sept 2023
Responding to the review of Bethany we deny totaly all the points one by one.They were 7 persons They arrived 2 of them the first night in a house for 8 persons At the beggining the arrival was at 15.00H Then they changed the time at 10.00p.m arrival time without using the 24H international time .This was very confusing for us. My husband was obliged to stay because I left with the car for Thessaloniki 148 km far from Toroni. My husband asked to stay downstairs totaly independent for some hours from 23 hours till 6 in the morning in order to take the first bus and return to Thessaloniki after a journey of 4 hours They said nothing After 5 minutes he KNOCKED the door in order to inform for the hot water .They didnt open the door .He DIDNT SEE anyone in this moment so the other day he send a message for the hot water at 7 .20 The problem is that he is telling shameless lies and Bethany who accuses us WAS not there She came one day after so all these are by the words of his friend.And what means *presume * for the sheets .Presuming we are not accuse people .May be this is common behaviour for others not for us that we rent the house. The days after our communication was so problematic They avoided to answer or seeing our messages so that leaving the house the last day they LEFT THE KEES on they door because they havent see our message one day before in the evening saying that they were out !!! so it was so normal not seeing the message The house rested unlocked for 4 hours until we arrived .Besides the external door of the house to the path was OPEN Moreover we found The external lights switched on The water heater switched on The sea chairs from the garage were abandoned up to the terrace Even a hand made ceramic big platter was thrown outside in the garden. The house was incredibly dirty and absolute mess where nothing was in its place . Rubbish were everywhere with a bad smell Even the toilet bins were plenty . The most important without have the permission or ask they consumed more than one litre of olive oil that they discovered to the cupboard .Furthermore our supplies were missing from the garage bottles of water and beers . Finally they didnt respect the house at all They came to a wonderful home behaving as if it was a stable.For transportation all information are given After a stay of 9 days they remembered that they had problems . We rent our house for 10 years Its the first time having such problems We only hope that will be the last.

A lovely week in Toroni!
Viktoria and her husband were at the property to welcome us and show us around which was a nice personal touch. They were very kind and even left us watermelon and their homemade olive oil! As a family holiday home, it was filled with personal items and little touches which gave it a comfortable homely feel. Everything we needed was there. The only slight surprise was that the downstairs bedroom was only accessible from the outside so felt seperate from the rest of the house. Aircon units in the bedrooms would be recommended as the noise of neighbouring dogs meant leaving windows open at night was not an option plus it was so hot the ceiling fans could not cope. Only a minor issue though and not a problem in daytime. We loved the view from the large terrace - absolutely stunning. Being able to walk into the town was very useful as it is very busy in August and parking is tricky. The beach was very nice - sandy with clear turquoise sea. We preferred sitting at the castle ruins end near the paddle boards. The local restaurants were average, we found food in neighbouring Porto Koufo (5 minutes by car) to be much better. Tzitzikas is outstanding! We'd thoroughly recommend staying in this beautiful home, missing it already, thank you so much for having us Viktoria & Byron :-)

We had a wonderful 10 days staying at Viktoria’s house. Fabulous views and ideal location.
Torini was a relatively sleepy beach resort and Viktoria’s house is ideally positioned a few minutes walk from the beach and the centre of the village. Set up a little it was lovely and cool and had fantastic views from the large terrace. A very warm welcome from Viktoria and her husband who gave us tips on where to visit etc The house was immaculate, beds comfortable and we were particularly grateful that there were beach chairs and umbrellas for us to use. We will definitely be back!

A beautiful house with a personality
The house is in a very good position, at a small walking distance to the Toroni beach and the supermarket, and a few minutes by car from other beautiful beaches such as Tristinika. The house is silent and, being a little bit over an hill, very fresh. It has a large patio from which you can enjoy the view of the sea.The hosts are renting their own house, so it's like living in some distant relatives' place: we liked it! The upper house is very nice, and might accomodate 4 or 5 persons. The lower house is somehow more basic, but it gives the opportunity to host other 2 or 3 persons. We definitely recommend it!

Tolle Aussicht und gute Lage
Hier hat alles gepasst! Ein sehr geräumiges Haus mit einem großen Appartement und einem kleinen Appartement, eine tolle Terrasse mit einer herrlichen Aussicht, sehr fürsorgliche Gastgeber und sehr schöne Strände vor der Tür. Der Strand von Toroni ist in zehn Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Man benötigt aber auf jeden Fall einen Mietwagen.
