Filakopi Private Pool Retreat for 6

Tranquillité et espace intérieur et extérieur avec deux terrasses d’orientations différentes

La vétusté

The swimming pool was excellent and was the highlight of our stay. The house was interesting and was like staying in a museum. The beds are comfortable which is important. We read the reviews and were fully prepared what to expect and for the price we paid, I think we got what we expected at a good price especially with the swimming pool. Other properties in Milos (without a pool) are double the price of what we paid. The kitchen was fully equipped, and had everything you could think of - it was like staying at grandma’s house. We also enjoyed the views from this property and could see the sun set at the end of the day. Athena Travel organised a hire car for us and the prices were good and cheaper than other operators in Milos.

As mentioned, we were fully prepared, however some things could be improved, like the cleaning of this property - it was so dusty in the kitchen and living rooms. We also found several grasshoppers on our clothes and on the walls which we removed and took outside. This is part and parcel of being in the countryside. Athena Travel is the hosts of this property - they manage the property on behalf of the owners. I would be cautious about using their services for your trip. On the first evening, the taxi arrived late and we were waiting at the port in the early hours after midnight for the taxi. They also booked a self-drive boat trip for us and when we arrived at the beach after driving there and walking down the rocky steps, the operator did not have their booking and said that Athena travel did not confirm our booking. It is better to deal with the operators directly.

My family and I stayed here during a very special trip to Milos, where I ended up getting engaged, so this property will always hold a special place in my heart. The house is certainly not your typical holiday rental. It's a rustic, aged Greek farmhouse full of character, privacy, and hidden corners to explore. If you enjoy properties with history and personality rather than polished modern perfection, you'll likely appreciate its charm. It felt secluded and peaceful, yet was still conveniently located near Pollonia, making it an excellent base for exploring the island. One thing we were especially grateful for was being allowed to check in early after an exhausting journey and an early flight. It meant we could rest and start enjoying our holiday immediately rather than losing a full day waiting around. The property managers were responsive, helpful, and quick to address issues during our stay. For example, when we discovered several of the air conditioning remotes needed new batteries, someone came out within a couple of hours to resolve it. Overall, this is a charming and memorable property with plenty of character. It won't be to everyone's taste—it can feel a little atmospheric at night—but for those who appreciate rustic, traditional accommodation, it offers something genuinely unique. With a few practical improvements (listed below), it could be exceptional. We genuinely hope the owners consider making these changes because, if they did, we would happily stay here again.

There are a few improvements that would make a significant difference to the guest experience. The plumbing appears to need some attention, as there were unpleasant drain odours during our stay. The Wi-Fi only worked reliably in the living room, which made it difficult to take calls privately or use the internet elsewhere in the house. Some of the plug sockets were positioned in rather inconvenient locations. And although it's a small detail, after a long day of travel it would have been nice to find water waiting in the fridge. The access road is quite rough and may not be kind to some vehicles, could definitely benefit from some improvement. Inside the house, the bathtub really needs a shower screen or curtain. Judging by previous reviews mentioning the same issue, this seems like a relatively simple upgrade that would greatly improve practicality.
