Underwhelmed
From the exterior, Villa Skouli was everything we'd dreamed of; a classically Cypriot garden welcomed us, adorned with olive trees, an orange grove and other native plants, beautifully manicured grass, a gorgeous infinity pool with spectacular views, a vast outdoor entertaining area and there was even a little play gym for the children. That's where our positive experience ended. The property is very, very tired and in need of some extreme TLC. The couches and throws were grubby, the TV didn't work, not even a basic stereo system was provided so we could hook up our smartphones for music. The kitchen was beyond bad for a family of our size. There were only 3 or 4 bowls available in the whole house, which wasn't nearly sufficient for our family which consisted of four adults and three children. The kitchen itself (oven, stove etc) works, but is extremely old. I've never seen a fridge like the one in this home, I think I'd be generous in describing it as a relic from the 1990s. It just gets worse as you move upstairs. The balustrade is loose and is about to fall off. Extremely dangerous with children running around. If it were to snap off, which it's threatening to, it would become a death drop. Shameful that the owner didn't repair this before our stay considering what a safety risk it poses. The beds are painfully uncomfortable. I'd describe the mattress as a scrap of foam covered in the cheapest sheets you've ever seen. Credit where it's due, the air-conditioning system was
