It was disappointing to arrive at Villa Thio to find that the property was not as advertised. The pool was dirty (the property manager did come with his son and a janitor to clean it when we made them aware), the sitting room had curtains hanging off the rails, the bathrooms were in need of a good spring cleaning. No mats on the sun beds - and some of them were in very poor condition. No pool towels provided (we had to buy some). The property manager Savvas was helpful but he couldn’t really appreciate our point of view I think. I always think a holiday should be nicer than your own home - a treat, a pleasant place to spend time relaxing. Unfortunately this was not. It was difficult to explain our expectations of cleanliness, comfort etc to a person who may not have experienced them himself. We managed to make the most of our holiday because we needed time together as a family to rest and relax, but all in all this was not good value for money. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Polis is such a cute town with history. (Well we are from the US!) Villa is in a good location and we enjoyed the sea views. Special mention to Nesterious from Porto Latchi: amazing food and welcome! Thank you...Cassie

Disappointing first opinion. Overgrown garden, particularly the banana palms alongside the villa completely shades the pool area in November, but i suspect this wouldn't have been an issue earlier in the year, or if the palms had been trimmed. We had to carryout one or two other general repairs on arrival. Two of the showerheads were blocked, although these were quickly changed by maintenance contract, stairway light not working at all, again quickly fixed. Solar water heating was definitely non functioning, although there is a water heating boost. General appearance was in need of a spruce, although it was end of the season, so this might be understandable. On a good note, the villa was very clean and totally secluded, not overlooked at all. Position is perfect, between Polis and the beautiful Latchi. Argaka and Pomos also easily reached by car, as well as the the famous Akamas walks.

The area was lovely with a beach within walking distance and some lovely restaurants. The villa was clean and comfortable, the pool was nice, but the garden was unloved, the grass was long and the palm in the picture is double the size and blocks some of the sun. Apart from that had a lovely time.

A lovely villa and pool but you do need a car to get about the nearest Supermarket is a good 20 minute walk which is slightly up hill and when it’s very hot that’s not a good idea but overall a very nice villa

A relaxing holiday in a beautiful location with a good selection of restaurants and tavernas in Polis.

We loved the location of the villa so close to the sea and only a short walk into Polis. The pool was clean and well maintained and the furnishings and kitchen were all in excellent condition. The knives could have been a bit sharper, but other than that were really pleased with our villa choice.
