We are regulars to Placencia but will not stay at Finca Villa property again.
First the good: Great location in regards to things to do, and Placencia village (restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy & urgent care (which, sadly we had to visit a few times) are all within 1-2 miles. Excellent ice cream shop a few miles away (cash only). While these are not "walking destinations" there are 2 bicycles on property for guests - or if you have a car, you have the entire country within your reach. The kitchen is stocked with utensils and pots and pans - we cooked about 70% of our meals. Beside salt and sugar we purchased everything at the local grocery stores or farmer stands.
The bad: The outdoor property is not well maintained. Facing the water, the beach to the left has a pile of trash and tree branches/clippings stacked 3+ ft high. The tide brings in seaweed and trash on to the beach daily - we would walk every morning with the kids and collect all the big plastic items and put them in the trash. A good portion of the beach is covered with shrubs. With some grounds keeping this could actually be magical! In the two weeks of our stay we saw the grounds keeper on the second week and he raked up the trash and seaweed once during our stay.
The house needs a deep clean and pest control. Every drawer and door handle was sticky. When we opened the kitchen drawers a few roaches/bugs scurried away over the silverware. We washed all dishes before use.
Also, there a few dogs running around the property - watch out for dog poop.
Overall, it's an ok stay for a few days maybe, especially if you don't have to cook or use the kitchen.
Adapting: on the 3rd day with kids not being able to sleep we found a 600W standard 120V stand-up AC unit from a family that had a spare one & placed it in the small bedroom which changed the entire dynamic - just lowering the humidity helped kids fall asleep in minutes and wake rested. The humidity makes it impossible to breathe, so renting a house without an a/c in July was a mistake on our part.
The ugly: All of the above can be easily corrected, but we won't be back to this property because 1st day we asked where some of the items (that were listed as amenities on our booking) were located because we couldn't find them, and the owner took it to social media to call us "immediately very demanding" and making assumptions that we "bought an AC unit". That was not necessary. So please be careful what you say/ask the owner...it might make it to FB.
