We enjoyed our stay. The home is immaculate. The view was outstanding. The responsiveness to our texts was remarkable. We loved picking mint/ lemon balm / rosemary from garden and freshening our waters with it. Villa was fully stocked with every possible amenity. Gorgeous villa.
The main reason we didn’t give 5 stars on everything is because the description of property should have mentioned that the villa was located on a inaccessible hilltop that requires a certain level of fitness. This home also is NOT a place for elderly. My mom, who is 73, struggled on a daily basis just to leave the house. We needed a taxi to go places because of how far the house was from our parked car. The roads were so narrow and roads were slanted 45 degree angle. Taxis were a pain to get service. No taxi wanted to drive to hilltop to get us. We had to have our host hail a cab; otherwise, the cabs would be no shows.
If it was just me and my kids- the climb to hilltop would have been doable. Unfortunately - we brought my mom, and the location of the villa was not ideal.
For this reason - we probably won’t be back. It was too much work to leave the villa and to go places. Ad mentioned beach was 800 meters away. Ad didn’t mention that it would be a problem maneuvering your car around or that it would require an intense workout to go down hill. ESP because you are also lugging beach paraphernalia.
My daughter and I were ok with location of villa because we are in shape. We thoroughly enjoyed it , but my son and mom struggled. A lot. We spent $2100 on 6 day stay at villa and $300 on taxis even though we had our own car.
Thanks again for everything. You have a beautiful home. It just wasn’t right for all of us. Hosts deserve “Super Host” status. They were A+!
