Me and my girlfriend booked three nights in the villa in the beginning of October. At first, I will describe the villa and the surrounding as such and then go into detail to our personal, subjective experience.
The villa is incredibly stylish, simple and clean. The view from the terrace is spectacular. It has a fully equipped kitchen including a bottle of red wine as a welcome gift. The shower is amazing, the bed comfy and the outside area, as you can see on the pictures, really luxurious. You have your own private pool with an outside bed for sunbathing. Just a short walk down the hill you will find a cute little stony beach with not many people around (sometimes you might even be completely alone there). Bring your diving mask, it’s worth it!
The project is still pretty new – 4 villas are finished and already in use, 3 more are still in construction up the hill. There is no road or garden built yet – so the area around the villas is pretty dusty. There are some leaky water pipes going down to the beach that turn the path to the beach into a miniature stream. None of that you will notice when you’re in your villa or at the beach, only when you’re walking around the premises.
During our visit it was incredibly windy. As far as I’m concerned that can be the case quite often in the area, but I recommend you do your own research. All the furniture around the pool was constantly moving because of the wind, the mattress of the outside bed fell into the pool twice and during the night it flew away into the mountains, while the two beanbags and some pillows were floating in the pool when we woke up. The floor of the pool was completely covered in sand. The cleaning lady and pool guy took care of all of that immediately. And by noon we had our (outdoor-)mattress back, strapped onto the bed with plenty of belts. On the one hand I was really happy about the good service and the quick reaction, on the other hand what’s the point of a villa with private pool if the premises need that much attention that you have staff walking around all day long and don’t really feel private?
During the whole stay it was impossible to leave anything outside, because it would be carried away by the wind. Eating outside was limited possible, as some of our food would also fly away. Even inside the villa you would not feel cozy, if you would have the windows open just a bit. Playing cards inside was impossible if the door was open. At night we had all doors closed and locked, but as a light to medium sleeper I couldn’t sleep for two nights, because it was so noisy inside the villa. The whistling of the wind was intense and the windows, being pushed in by the wind every now and then felt like being in a plane when you’re flying through the clouds (difference in pressure).
In the end we checked out one day early and the host agreed to refund our money for one night.
In advance to your stay I highly recommend bringing earplugs for an undisturbed sleep and check the weather in advance, as wind can reduce the joy of your stay a lot.
