To start with the positives, Franco’s villa is in a great location - access directly onto a quiet part of the beach, lots of shady outdoor spaces and a short walk to various restaurants and cafes (it should be noted that the villa is near to a busy road). Claudio, Franco’s son, helped us on check-in and was available to help with issues throughout our stay.
However, we unfortunately had issues with cleanliness and a severe ant infestation during our stay. The property is quite tired and very cluttered.
In terms of the listing, it is worth noting that there is only aircon in the master bedroom - it may not be needed for much of the year but in the height of the summer we did need this at night. There is also no TV as listed (not a problem for us) and there is no private parking, but parking is usually available nearby on the main road. I wouldn’t recommend the property to a family with small children due to the clutter and there being various potentially hazardous items such as chemicals and tools stored at ground level in open units.
In the hope that the cleaning and ants can be sorted out, I would recommend the villa for its location and outdoor space, but it may not currently represent the best value for money in the area.
