    Review 9: Sharing pool house Penelope Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My stay at Sharing pool house Penelope was nothing short of exceptional. The house's rustic charm and comfortable amenities made it a perfect home away from home. The shared pool was a great place to cool off and mingle with other guests (just 2 in my case staying at the house Demetra), fostering a sense of community and creating lasting memories. The attention to detail and the warm hospitality of the staff made my stay truly unforgettable.

    Lovely private but small (unheated) pool with view and plenty of space for two. Really good for the price. No 'bait and switch' for us as other reviews say, but we are extremely early season! It’s not perfect, no real cutlery, no house basics like oil and salt, the electrics are odd, and plugs/lights work a bit randomly, the external car park is filled with wood and a mattress so not very tidy. Bring earplugs as next door's dog barks all night and morning so hard to sleep in. And finally, the cleaner came knocking at 9am rather than 11am which was our checkout time, then just hung around outside waiting for us to leave.... felt rushed so not a relaxing lie in final morning.

    House Agyro is a very special and beautiful place with history. We enjoyed the breathtaking view from the terrace and the unique atmosphere in the open rooms very much! Very recommendable! Thank you very much for everything!

    Classic bait and switch Airbnb operator. Has beautiful pictures selling a unit that is suddenly unavailable due to some major (electrical in our case) and then you are transferred to this dump. Actually this is not total dump just an awkward place with no amenities but it was misrepresented and I was cheated

    Misrepresented. This was rented to us as an Airbnb but where we booked was unavailable and this was the alternate. Weird space with no architectural sensibility and insufficient facilities, tiny underpowered AC, no utensils, uncomfortable beds etc.
