We were a family of 7 adults (~25-65 years old), a 2.5 year old and a small baby staying in the house in late October and it was just perfect for us. A 5-star hotel couldn't have offered us the same convenience this house did! Having a car is a must though.
We cooked our own meals more or less every day in the large kitchen, occasionally also making use of the provided (simple) bbq. The dishwasher was a really good friend too :) The floor plan is great with lots of social space both indoors and outdoors but also plenty of space if you'd like a bit of privacy. The patio and garden are perfectly facing the sea with sun the whole day! Having two bathrooms was really convenient too!
There's an AMAZING access to the sea from the cliffs just next to the villa with beautiful nature. The sea was a bit too rough to swim in some days (this is probably seasonal though, the summer times ought to be calmer), but there's a small beautiful lagoon where you can still cool off if the water's too wild! The water was blue and crystal clear. Water shoes are highly recommended as the cliffs are pretty rough.
Worth noting:
- You're not allowed to flush toilet paper so you need to throw that separately in a bin, this felt awkward the first couple of days but you got used to it pretty soon!
- At least when we were there (late October) there were occasionally quite a lot of flies and mosquitoes, the hosts had provided mosquito-repellants that worked well but the flies were harder to get rid off.
- There's a small grocery store 5 minutes (by car) away with basic food stuffs and a couple of pizza places nearby but there's no real shops or restaurants (except for a pizzeria) within walking distance, but this wasn't a problem for us as we cooked most of our own food. The best supermarket we found was Famila, about 15 minutes away (by car).
- The house is right next to a beach club (Cala Zaffiro) but it was closed for the season. There seemed to be a couple of these nearby (all closed for the season).
