Roberto’s place is absolutely terrific! We wanted a villa holiday and the primary reason for picking this property was the steps on the pool. We were visiting with two young children who were not accomplished swimmers and the idea was that they would be able to paddle and stay shallow if they wanted to. It turned out to be absolutely perfect for that and the girls loved splashing around.
Roberto wasnt around while we stayed but we received a warm welcome from his mum who was always on hand if we needed anything at all. Nothing was too much trouble! Roberto also messaged us to check in regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. He provided some great advice, tips and recommendations.
I half expected to be disappointed by the garden and pool because the photos make them look so incredible. I need not have worried as it just was absolutely spectacular. Ive stayed in large hotels that would envy the pool and gardens.
There is a hotel 2 mins walk away from the property on the beach front which does the most incredible ice creams i have ever experienced (and terrific value!). it also serves a fantastic granita (a local delicacy which i had no idea existed and was delighted to discover).
The staff in the hotel was always extremely friendly and it was a lovely place to stop in for a drink. It also has a restaurant but i think they are stronger on cakes and ice cream than savoury food.
The beach itself is nice and was very quiet when we visited but better beaches were accessible by car.
Hiring a car was pretty much essential as it would have been impossible to cope without one. There is a good delicatessen only about a km away which was a nice place to pick up fresh bread for breakfast but other than the hotel, every trip out really required a drive.
Overall we had an amazing stay and i would thoroughly recommend the property and the hospitality!
