Ithaki Island

The view was amazing and not far from port so not long to get to . Dexia beach just down the road was a fab beach water so lovely .Makis was accommodating although does not speak much english but nice guy . he did say as no one was coming in we could stay until 3 pm until we caught ferry which was nice gesture .
 · we did not get much sleep as dog at rear of property barked until 4 or 5 in morning , when i text the owner she said it was coming from up the mountain , i disagreed with this as it was directly behind us ? makis indicated he worked / lived there so think that is where it came from .  the road going up to windmill is very uneven and not well maintained , there is quite a lot of building material lying around , bricks , old furniture, pallets , plants in pots just left etc . shame the attention to detail is not finer and garden not as well maintained as could be .  we shared a terrace but as we had the upper apartment the area directly in front has quite high trees / shrubs so not an open view to see. the lower apartment has the other part with no interrupted view just a railing, the railing stop when it get the garden area . Would be a good idea to take this small bit of garden out in our opinion . The kitchen is very dated and on a raised step if you are tall you would find this very difficult to manage , only 1 frying pan and 1 saucepan thats it . No slice for eggs no wooden spoon, no cupboard to put food in , can't leave on small worktop as ants invade. No decent toaster, only one aircon unit above front door and a not very efficient dusty dirty fan in the bedroom. Hair dryer would have been useful , bed is not brilliant mattress uncomfortable .Most of these things are quite simple and would improve overall experience, i know greece is quite traditional but most places we stay now have come in to 20th century and the basics can make a huge difference to the experience you have .

fab view accommodation basic

We had a small apartment (one bedroom) with a kitchenette which had all that's needed for a short stay. The owners left us homemade delicassies (jams), coffee, tea etc.It was very clean. The view was awesome!! During the storm we didn't mind staying in for the evening, as we could warm up our meal in the small stove. 
A word of warning:the windmill is located on a hill top and the road leading there from the main road isn't suitable for big cars. It is a bit out of town so a vehicle is a must. Elderly people and people with physical disabilities should be aware of accessibilty there. We got compensated by the amazing view!!

Awesome view, very nice place to spend a couple of days in Ithaki

A renovated mill that houses two functionally furnished apartments, absolutely incredible views, we often dined on the terrace, enjoying beautiful sunsets and an infinite starry sky. Absolutely quiet!

Oh, that's great.

The view is AWESOME!!!
Vathy is a beautiful little town and port.
 However, after you take a few snaps at the windmill you are left with:
The advertising doesn't make it clear there are two apartments. The owner doesn't ever mention it when you are making your enquiries.
 The ground floor apartment has twin beds that would suit a child. There is no view from inside unless you leave the door open. It was windy ALL the time so difficult to actually enjoy the balcony anyway.
The ground floor windows rattle and shake like there's a hurricane outside and the fridge makes loud gurgling noises making it impossible to leave it on at night. The front door also doesn't close properly.
The lounges up and downstairs are cheap futons and extremely uncomfortable and the TV reception is terrible because of the window and the antenna is attached to a pole on the garden!
The bathrooms (never pictured) have hand held showers at waist height and are so small it's difficult to manoeuvre.
The owner's father lurks around the premises a LOT and it's disconcerting when you pay for privacy. He is also your contact point but his English is poor.
The driveway entrance has no signage at all and is poorly made and really steep.
The nearest beach is not far but not walkable unless you want to risk being killed on that narrow mountain road without footpaths.
For the price we felt completely ripped off. 



Deceptive and average

It offers a magnificent view to Vathy Bay and is quite close to the city but unfortunately you can see it only from the kitchen window in case you are staying in the ground floor. The other windows have view to the mountain. For this reason the cost of the accommondation in the ground floor should have been much lower than the cost of the upper one. Also, two sandy beaches are located near the mill and it is very convenient. On the other hand there is no reception service and you have to call in case of emergency. Furthermore, the path leading from the main road of the island to Mill is very steep and not safe for your car except you have a 4 X4 vehicle.

it could be better

There are times when you come across something really special and Razos Windmill is that place.
As already mentioned the views are breathtaking, almost 270 deg of pure delight.
From the original contact to our departure Rasos and his daughter were helpful  & attentive.
The location is ideal, 5 mins drive from Vathy, 10 mins to Filliatro beach.
Our only regret, we only booked 2 nights

Awesome

My last year's review was "excellent". But how can you make such an experience even better? By noticing the little details that you don't miss when they are not there, but welcome so much when you see them (from the new chairs and tables to the cutlery and napkins).

Couldn't recommend this place more :)
