Vita Real Estate

The place was far beyond expectations but you need assistance with luggage uphill and many many steps

The number of steps!

The location was great and the upstairs room was beautiful

The kitchen was useless and the bathroom had exposed wires. The Wi-Fi kept going down. No one offered to assist.

Very clean.

My experience with this property was nothing short of traumatic. On the first night, I thought I had lost the room key and called the property manager from my friend’s phone, as my own phone battery had died. Initially, she said she would help. However, the next day she sent a message grossly misinterpreting the situation — claiming that, because I called from another phone, there were more guests staying in the room than booked. She then demanded €200 to be transferred directly to her personal bank account, far outside Booking.com’s official payment system and policies. She shouted on the phone, issued legal threats if I did not pay, and completely ruined the atmosphere of our holiday. Her behaviour was abusive, aggressive, and entirely unprofessional, forcing us to block her number to end the harassment. The property also has extremely difficult access, with no guidance or assistance offered in case of any issues. This kind of conduct is unacceptable, violates Booking.com’s rules and policies, and is a clear example of abusive treatment towards guests. No one should have to endure such behaviour from a property manager

The space accommodates 4 comfortably, with nice open space. Upper level has a nice layout and nice daylighting.

Housekeeping needed serious attention - a second cleaning was required as the home was not thoroughly cleaned well at all. Water pressure is not great when another bathroom is in use.

Everything to like about this property - HIGHLY recommended!!

The apartment was set up perfectly for our family of four and was really an oasis from the heat and activity below at hydra port. We looked forward at the end of the day to returning to such a tranquil and comfortable spot. The host could not have been more helpful with recommendations and tailoring the stay to our specifications. I would definitely recommend the space to friends and family.

The only thing to note is that a visitor will definitely need to have the pictures describing the route to the house before arriving as we found it tricky to find using the link alone.

Beautiful, light filled and unique little townhouse, overlooking a pretty courtyard garden. A little haven that felt like home. Comfy bed and great pillows Great smart TV upstairs Local artwork on the walls makes it feel very homely. Decor is minimal and stylish. Full Kitchen facilities make it great for a long stay Ariadne was super helpful and very responsive - always got back promptly with help. Her mother who came to welcome and clean was also lovely and friendly and very helpful. Ariadne arranged for a luggage transport to meet me with one of the traditions muleteers. A must for the steps!

The biggest problem for me is the bed is not a proper double but rather two singles pushed together. It makes it not great to sleep as I sink in the middle. I had to make sure I stayed on one or the other. Unfortunately no real views from the property, unless you are right at the front upstairs window. The windows along the long side of the property do look out over the courtyard garden and up the hill to neighbouring properties - so a very quaint outlook that is very light and bright. You don’t feel closed in - but it doesn’t have views over the port town or sea. The mosquitoes in the courtyard meant it wasn’t pleasant to sit out - I got eaten alive! Also the wasps were occasionally an issue - neither of which is the fault of the property and there is coils to burn - but I am good at attracting bites regardless! The sofa is small and not very comfy to sit on, and there’s nowhere to eat food upstairs (which is where I ended up spending all my time as it feels so open and airy). A little table / chair would be useful although there is a lovely old coffee table that suffices.

No water during the last night.
