Imposing townhouse in the centre of Methoni, 400 metres from beach and Castle.

Unacceptable Experience – Misleading Listing and Poor Conditions We rented this property through VRBO expecting a comfortable stay in Methoni to celebrate a birthday with family and friends. What we encountered was a series of serious issues that made the accommodation unsuitable:• Hot water was only available after manually activating a boiler and waiting 45 minutes.• One of the bathrooms was located outside the house, contrary to the impression given in the listing.• The advertised sea access via a ladder was completely false—the ladder is not even on the property.• The master bedroom was plagued by constant noise from cicadas, possibly behind a closed internal door, making it difficult to sleep.• The toilets did not flush. We had to use a bucket for basic sanitation.• The owner offered to relocate us to another property 30 minutes outside Methoni, which was not acceptable given our planned celebrations and the fact that we were traveling with three other families staying nearby.• Despite all of this, the owner refused a full or even a partial refund. We were only compensated 432 euros by VRBO which did not reflect the magnitude of inconvenience.We left the property after just one night and moved to a hotel. This experience disrupted our plans and diminished what should have been a joyful occasion. I would strongly advise future renters to avoid this list until issues are resolved and listing description is corrected.We have rented in the past through different platforms and never encountered such problems. Very disappointin
