The house is beautiful and well equipped except for the kitchen (no dishwasher, and we had to ask for additional cookware and some essentials were missing). Very nice outdoor bbq area and beautiful well maintained garden. The beach is a 10 minute walk, you can go thru the hotel right down the road directly to the beach. The beach is sand but there are huge flat rocks in the water and it is very shallow. Nearest big store 10 minute drive away, smaller supermarkets available in the village, but you need a car still. Hotels along the sea are all inclusive so you cannot buy any real food except in the village. The people that welcomed us in the house (they also tend to the garden on Saturdays) are very nice though they speak next to no English. But they really tried and went out of their way to make our stay better. They even brought some games and a new toy truck as a gift for our 4-y.o.! Thank you. The owner arranged transfer to/from airport for an extra charge. The car was big enough to fit all our things and children:)
There are bath towels and beach towels provided. There was also laundry detergent/softener and dishwashing liquid, as well as shower gels and shampoo and even toothbrush/paste sets. Very nice touch!
There are, alas, serious reasons why we would not consider coming back here.
1. Mattresses in both bedrooms upstairs (double and twin) are the worst ever. Pillows are just as awful in the whole house (way too high and hard as rock). Would advise against staying at this villa just for those reasons. Sleeping was like torture for 3 weeks. The mattress on the double bed downstairs is better, but there's no a/c in that room. There are no mosquito nets on the windows.
2. The owner very slow to respond, sometimes no reply at all. He did arrange out transfer but communication is very slow
3. There is no DVD in the house.
4. There's no information about the area or the house except for a printout of Google maps marking the road to the beach.
