Helen's House at Ratzakli

Lovely modern small house with small swimming pool.

Location was incorrect on google maps so it took a bit of finding. Pool was very overlooked by a road running above it.

Schönes Ferienhaus ,modern eingerichtet und die Lage ist auch nicht schlecht. Man braucht aber ein Auto

Excellent location and very well equipped. Big ruins and lovely view from balcony. Hosts were very kind and attentive.

The beds weren’t particularly comfortable and the sunbeds have seen better days.

Helens house is spacious , with great air con throughout, which was very much welcome in 40+ heat. The bedrooms are modern with ample space for luggage / clothes etc. The pool is nice. Great taverna, 5 min walk down the hill.

A couple of things, as others have mentioned, there needs to be more seating in the lounge area, one small sofa isn’t enough for 4 guests. I would suggest different furniture to glass tables for the lounge and kitchen, we had a few scraps with wet floors and young people. The balcony initially is great, until your feet become soaked and the floor dangerously slippy from the water from the air con pipe - a very easy fix! Whilst on the balcony, when we arrived the furniture provided was a disgrace, so sun / Weather worn that as we sat down every seat back broke complete, luckily no injuries, to give the owners credit they did switch these asap. The sun lounges , front table and Parasol all need updating, which was a shame as I had already read this from previous reviews and still not been looked at.

Apartament bardzo dobrze wyposażony, wszystko nowe, bez problemu mieszczą się w nim 4 dorosłe osoby. Basen bardzo czysty. Właścicielka pomocna, komunikatywna, świetnie mówi po angielsku. W okolicy, 4 minuty spacerkiem dobra restauracja, blisko piaszczysta plaża. Gorąco polecam!

Great little villa for 2 people. Fantastic restaurant Avli at the bottom of the road which also has a handy shop. Food and service brilliant!

A few additional items would need to be added to make it suitable for 4 people. Needs a further sofa or chairs in the lounge. The kitchen aso needs sharp knives as only one bread knife. A fence or greenery to screen off the patch of land next to it would enhance the property as well as a small sofa outside the lounge as well as on the balcony. The beach is close but down a very steep hill!!!! A car is essential.

Very clean and tidy with excellent facilities, still feels very new. Aircon in all rooms, which along with the small pool was essential in August. Quiet location with views from the 1st floor balcony, comfortable beds and some outside seating on the ground floor and balcony. Long sandy beach 2km down the hill, excellent taverna a short stroll and walks up the valley which give lovely views. The house is small with limited seating in the open plan ground floor but benefits from the second toilet shower room downstairs. The kitchen is well equipped for eating but has limited cooking utensils despite pans, a good cooker and microwave. Hosts very responsive and attentive remotely. The pool is small and not very deep, more a plunge pool than a swimming pool but very clean. Parking on site but many steps down to the car! Ideal for a couple or family with 2 older kids, 4 adults might struggle for living space. A car is essential with supermarkets nearby at Skala, and plenty of beaches are all only a short drive. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Sun loungers are very basic and the sun shade past its best. The outside table and chairs are also ageing. The internal stairs are very steep and small, along with all the other steps outside, would make it difficult for small children or the elderly. There is a small patch of very untidy waste ground next to the outside pool/eating area which spoils the view. The kitchen would benefit from more cooking utensils, even just one kitchen or bread knife.

Quiet location

Toaster please 😊
