Overall experience of the Zen Villa was good. Our host Nicole stocked the refrigerator with breakfast foods and provided bottle water as the water isn’t drinkable. However, theirs some areas of improvement I would recommend are as followed: Cons: 1. Upfront communication needs to be improved. As the daily housekeeper fail to restock tissue and because we didn’t notify Nicole prior to 7pm which we were never advised of time limitation this need wasn’t met until 12pm the next day. 2. We were advised of 21usd laundry service fee per bag nothing about them making decision of separating clothes into various groups based on color which resulted in a charge of 65 usd for 3 groceries size bags of laundry. No bleach was used so whites weren’t as clean and some clothes were still damp and the pickup although was advise would be in morning didn’t occur until afternoon. 3. Limited quality dining options within walking distance. Transportation to restaurants on the beach which is less than a 10min ride for Uber 154 usd round trip cost. In addition because the property location off road each Uber driver fail to pickup at the property drive way which resulted in a 3min walk. 4. The lower level bathroom and bed dated and can use a makeover. Pros: 1. Daily housekeeping, and private yacht arrangements 2. Beautiful views and friendly people 3. Transportation arrangement from airport was helpful for our party of 8 4. Nice adult size pool and fire pit option

Our property manager, Amalia, went above and beyond to make this an amazing stay. We were particularly happy about having a full fridge with breakfast and fresh fruit as we arrived late the first night.

Nice Villa. A bit overpriced.

We definitely enjoyed our stay. However, there was a prominent sewage smell in both bathrooms. The bedrooms are the only areas with air conditioning so the main areas of the villa tended to get hot. The outdoor pool and various decks are fantastic! The check in process was smooth and the refrigerator was stocked with breakfast foods and other various snacks, along with a big bowl of fresh fruit. The villa is lovely. The view from the villa is lovely. The beds are comfortable. The air conditioners in the bedrooms worked great. We just felt the villa was overpriced.

Schöne Villa aber überteuert

Die Villa ist groß und die Einrichtung ist super. Die Dusche im unteren Bereich ist leider sehr runtergekommen, der Toilettenbesen eklig!!! Das Schlafzimmer im 1. Stock ist schön der Ausblick super nur gibt es hier keine Vorhänge somit ab 4.30 hell im Zimmer. Klima in allen Zimmern funktioniert super. Pool ist sehr kalt aber sehr sauber wird jeden Tag gereinigt. Der Aussenbereich ist das BESTE an der ganzen Villa, toller Ausblick und echt viele Möglichkeiten zum relaxen. Die Lage der Villa ist nur mit Auto oder Quad von Vorteil. Meer und Strände sehr enttäuschend und nicht zum entspannen geeignet. Einen Reitausflug sollte man buchen das war ein tolles Erlebnis. Früchstück muss man selbst machen, eingekauft wird vom Manager. Manager Aris war immer stets bemüht. Also wir haben Santorini gesehen und ich denke nochmal würde ich die Insel nicht mehr besuchen. Es gibt viel schönere Inseln wo das Meer toll und ist und das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis passt. Die Villa ist ok aber den Preis den wir bezahlt haben auf keinen Fall wert.
