Property is brand new, spacious, tastefully decorated, and comfortable. A few things I wish I knew beforehand: 1. The property consists of a 2 br and a 3 br villas, each have 2 bathrooms. Neither bathroom is en-suite, they are all across the hall from the bedrooms, so, depending on who you stay with, you may not be able to run to or from the bathroom in your PJs. 2. All bedrooms are spacious, with lots of storage, except for a smaller one in a 2 br villa, which is tiny, has no storage, shelf or hook on the wall, or even space to put a suitcase on the floor, the king bed allows either the hallway door, or the patio door to open, but not both. We saw that on a check in, and were not terribly happy, Vera offered us another "secret" unadvertised bedroom in the basement (looks like both villas have them, don't know if they have bathrooms), but we chose to stay on the main floor, and it was not comfortable. 3. Location: villa is on the on the eastern side of the island, surrounded by unattractive forsaken land and abandoned unfinished homes, the road is unpaved. We were told that this neighborhood is developing, so this may improve. There is constant noise from landing/taking off planes from the airport, and that will obviously not go away. 2 min walk to the beach and fabulous restaurant Karafa (must do), but if you want to go to better Monolithos beach - it's 3 min drive (go and have your cappuccino there in a small cafe next to the mini-market at 8 AM, that guy knows his coffee). You must have a car, then everything else on the island minutes away. Baths and kitchens are fine, laundry is available in both villas. Pool and deck areas are beautiful, there is small wading pool by the smaller villa. Yiannis and Maria could not be more helpful in their communications and treated us like royalty. They arranged for 8 of us to be picked up at the port, and 2 rental cars delivered directly to the villa. We were greeted by fresh fruit and local wine. Vera, manager on site, was very nice, and available immediately at any time to answer any questions and solve the few problems we had. Overall, after seeing the hotels in Fira, we were happy that we chose to stay in the villa, and owners and manager certainly made everything easy, so I would certainly suggest to consider it as long as you keep pertinent drawbacks in mind.
