The villa was very clean and spacious. However, a smoke alarm in a high ceiling had a fault causing it to sound off every 40 minutes through the night. We told our host about it the next morning and were told to take the battery out even though it was in a high ceiling above a stairwell void which was dangerous and virtually impossible to access without an ladder. First we were told a maintenance person would come, then we were told that she would get an electrician to sort it out. However, she told us late in the afternoon that she was not able to get someone to look at the fault (it was the day of the grand final) and we then had to cancel our plans for another guest who was due to come that evening due to the smoke alarm fault. We asked for compensation which was refused. OUr "host" said it was our problem because we did not take the smoke alarm out and did not tell her that we had not done so. Dismantling the smoke alarm did not seem to be a safe thing to require your guests to do. The "host" said she would offer us a discount if we paid to stay at another of her properties. I can't see why having to pay again would be a satisfactory resolution. Our restful weekend away from our phones just ended up to be aggravating.
