Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene Z. 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy This home was great! The property manager was so attentive and the home was super clean with all the things available for a comfortabe easy stay with children. The listing agency is not the owner through this app and they have listed that there is a swimming pool, there is NO swimming pool! We tried contacting the booking agency but they never replied. We were then able to chat with the owner who is a lovely person and very understanding. Even without a pool as listed this home is lovely! Our family loved our stay and would recommend it to everyone. If we ever bought a home in Greece, we would look for one just like this! Stunning views! ##### Irene Z.
