Nicoletta’s villa is wonderful - spacious, comfortable and really well appointed with everything you will need for your holiday. Our favourite spot was the terrace which is enormous with fabulous views over the bay. There’s a comfy seating area and a lovely large table for sociable lunches and evening meals.
We didn’t realise that the villa was part of a holiday complex. As it turned out this was great for us as it meant that the kids could wander up to the kids' entertainment each night which is very safe and is just 30 seconds walk from the house. The disadvantage is that the pool is shared with a lot of other families and can get very busy - unless you’re there when everyone else is having a siesta which is what we tended to do. The beach is lovely - small pebbles rather than fine sand and breathtakingly clear sea which is great for snorkelling and my favourite bit of the day - an early morning swim up and down the bay.
Nicoletta is a lovely host and really helpful. She lives next door which means that she’s around a lot to help out and she regularly checks that everything is ok with the villa. We did not know about the 100 euro cleaning fee and it wasn’t until we asked that we found out that the entry to the pool and the sun-beds would cost an additional 85 euros per family. All of which is fine, but we would rather that this had been made clearer in advance (although it is on the website).
We were there with 2 families and 3 kids ranging from 5 to 11 all of whom were very happy with their holiday - even the slightly unpredictable wi-fi didn’t ruin their fun. I would definitely recommend this fabulous villa to others looking for a combination of comfort, convenience and rustic charm and I would also recommend Nicoletta as a very helpful and kind host.
