Villa Yeraki

The accommodations are fabulous. There’s a beautiful view of the sea, both right from the terrace and from the pool. It was wonderful to wake up to this view every morning.

Well, that’s a tough one. Unfortunately, we wanted to leave our luggage there first because the flight arrived early, but they wouldn’t let us. Now, the place had three separate terraces, plus a large garden. And the only people who go to that area are those who actually want to go there. I believe the rules don’t actually say you can leave luggage there, but knowing Greek culture—and at our own risk—we would have left it there. Unfortunately, the kitchen wasn’t well-equipped. There were no extra trash bags, no salt, no oil, no spices—and there weren’t even coffee filters for the American-style coffee maker. We had to buy all of these ourselves. There was a great built-in grill in the garden, but it didn’t come with any utensils, so we couldn’t use it. One afternoon, someone came by to tell us they were there to clean the pool, which surprised us because we hadn’t been told about it. One evening, the Italians in the house next door partied quite loudly until late at night, even though it was clearly stated that loud noise wasn’t allowed. It was funny that the electrical switch box was half a meter away from the outdoor shower.

Excellent location. Although you do need a car. Outside space including pool is fabulous. Spectacular views from all 4 terraces. Lovely tavernas within a short walk away. The locals are so friendly. Plenty of beaches and villages within driving distance.

The beds are dreadfully uncomfortable. They all need replacing. All the furniture is incredibly tired and the villa needs a thorough deep clean. The ‘cleaner’ comes twice a week to change the bed linen and replace the towels. No evidence of any actual cleaning. We’ve never stayed in a villa where so little day to day items are provided. 1 washing machine tablet. 1 toilet roll. 1 dishwasher tablet. 1 bottle of water. On arrival we had to do a big shop including pedal bin bags, cleaning products and bleach. We then spent the next hour cleaning the place!!

location. privacy. pool

We were self-catering. Location was great, it was quiet but within easy reach of beaches/ports etc.

The internet could of been a little stronger.
