A modest country house with gorgeous view
This "luxury villa" is a nice small house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, clean and comfortable, very quiet (no immediate neighbours), beautifully located on a hill over one of the most impressive Mykonos beaches (Kalo Livadi bay) - some 7-8 km from Mykonos town. The climb to the house is very steep, and an average car will not make it (unless driven by an expert driver). A car is definitely needed unless one confines oneself to Kalo Livadi only.
The house has 2 terraces with view to the bay. The problem is that the equipment is quite insufficient - both in the kitchen and in the upper terrace, which is vast, but completely empty.
I pointed out this want to the owner, who was very linient and willing to help, and promised to correct these problems.
Also, please be advised that the upper floor bedroom has a very small bath (including toilet) and therefore showering is quite an endeavour.
In summary:
Modest but nice and welcoming house, with a stunning view at a very reasonable price, helpful owner.
Note: There is some mixup regarding the lowest floor, which contains a studio with a separate entrance. The reference number 324678 is supposed to include the studio in the rental price. The upper 2 floors without the studio are under a different reference reference number:
7115756h. I booked under ref. 324678, but got the upper floors without the studio (and could not understand the owner's explanation on this dilemma) - but it did not matter after all: we had no use for the studio. It was just one of these unsolved mysteries.
It is worth noting that at Kalo Livadi beach we found 2 very good restaurants: "Sol y Mar" (quite famous among tourists), and "Cantina" (which seemed fairly new and offered great food with a friendly, personalised service). Both are open for lunch and dinner.

Owner's Response: I am happy enough with this review, since it is well known that people from Israel are very strict judges.
