“Great place to stay”
+Great location, lovely and clean
−Nothing really but the single beds were uncomfortable and you are growing vines over railings that spoils the Vathy view when sat at the table - this is a great view and you shouldn’t block it

“Great Villa beautiful location.”
+The views and outside space were fantastic. The Villa was very traditional and had a lot of Greek character. Everything that was needed. Communication was great with Aristoteli he was very helpful

“Very enjoyable”
+The location and apartment is great, a veranda overlooking the harbour with lots of flowers. The house is charming with a lot of personality, and well chosen paintings and other decorative items which make it feel homely. Good kitchen as well. There was a minor mixup about the previous guests leaving time, so we were sent off to have a free lunch at the owners expense - to a very good restaurant, so no complaints there! A very helpful man, Aristoteli, looks after the property who will attend to any issues as well as being friendly and welcoming.
−They do warn you about the steps up to the house - it is a climb up uneven stone steps, so be aware of that if you are not fit, or have heavy luggage. But it also means it is quiet and hidden away, although not far from shops and cafes.

“A perfect holiday base from which to see Vathi and Ithaca more generally.”
+A cosy house (sleeps 2+1+1) that's about a 5min walk from Vathi centre: close enough to be within easy reach of the centre and far enough away that there's no noise. All the facilities are simple but in good working order and there are a few friendly cats as a bonus :) The contact in Vathy (Telis) was also an absolute gem - very helpful and replied to a couple of daft questions kindly and quickly. Final tip would be to arrange a taxi pickup from the ferryport through the property (unless you're bringing your own car). The ferry lands a 15min taxi ride from Vathi and a taxi over will set you back about €15. We then rented a small car to drive around the island.
−No complaints at all.

“A charming genuine home with a great view”
+The location is up 60-odd stone steps, but not too steep and not difficult for reasonably mobile people. It's a charming house, clearly a home, with properly usable kitchen facilities, comfy beds, aircon everywhere, a good shower and bathroom, and a lovely shaded terrace overlooking the town. Aristoteli who manages changeovers was very friendly and helpful and would normally meet guests at the property. There's a large free car park a few minutes walk away.
−Some written instructions for first-time visitors to Greece would really help - about using the bathroom and not drinking the water, for example, and about using the kitchen and the washing machine (markings all in Greek). And more precise, idiot-proof information about finding the house - we managed to go up and down the wrong stairs a few times in the heat before someone pointed us in the right direction.

“Great option in Vathy”
+Lovely space, well decorated in its own style. Very comfortable. Great spaces outside. Very clean, great location, pet friendly.
−Few little extras would be nice. For example, some shampoo/coffee. A bit more proactive communication before arrival would have been good.
