The property was sold as private villa with view and private pool. The pictures posted are lovely, in fact.
What we found was a basement apartment with no private pool, but rather a yet-to-be-installed Jacuzzi outside the bedroom window. No pool access was available at all, as each villa's pool is, again, private.
Amenities such as robes and slippers were also missing, and were not provided even when asked. Reception was not open during times listed, and we had to call the villa manager to come and explain the situation. While all seem to hail Skelios (the villa manager - the actual property manager I was not allowed to speak with, for some reason) as extremely helpful (and he was surely gracious for the most part), no explanation was given as to why we were in an apartment that in no way resembled what we booked. I spent the first two days of a short and quite costly vacation very upset and trying to understand how to salvage a situation.
We left after the second night (offers of providing us a "real" villa would come only after the fourth day on the property) and the manager only refunded for half the stay. Admittedly, it was a nonrefundable offer, but what was presented was nothing like what was advertised. I was shocked and furious, and the only way to move forward was to leave the property.
I can only suggest to be in touch with the property manager prior to your stay and assure that the villa is not the "semi-basement" apartment. The other villas looked amazing!
