Great views, but villa not up to scratch.
Not the best villa - dirty on arrival, with wee & toilet paper still in one of the loos! Dust over all kitchen surfaces, and it appears someone had used it after it had been cleaned, but before we arrived, and nobody bothered to check it before we got there. It was supposed to have been a special holiday, but that was ruined at the start. We did get the cleaning sorted thanks to Jane, but after such a traumatic start, we would have thought the courtesy of a follow up phone call from the management company wouldn't have been too much to ask? There were lots of little niggling things - only one umbrella at the poolside for example (for 8 sun beds!), when there were two stands, so we had to request another, the wrong sized linen was used in the changeover, which meant it was constantly coming loose and bunching up, making it uncomfortable every night for the second week, the furniture had seen better days, and the sofas were too saggy and close to the floor to sit on comfortably, and the overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Concertina doors to the back which we couldn't open, as there were no fly screens and loads of cats. We would have been bitten to death, by the millions of flies and mosquitoes, due to the nearness of the olive trees - not to mention the creepy crawlies and massive crickets! Sort of defeats the object of having full wall width doors, if you can't have them open. We know cats are a problem in Corfu, but we couldn't even have a barbecue in peace, as we were surrounded by loads of them! No air con in the main kitchen/dining room, and just one small desk fan, meant it was stifling most of the time - as we couldn't have the doors open! We go to a different villa abroad every year, and have stayed in some beautiful ones, for far less money than this cost, so we were very disappointed in Villa Alyssa, and Prestige Villas in general. Nissaki itself was beautiful, and such a pretty region, so we would definitely return, but never again to Villa Alyssa! It most certainly isn't a five star villa!!!
