I really wanted to love this property, and I was looking forward to enjoying it with my family.
The house itself is a lovely design and the view is outstanding.
Unfortunately I felt the listing was not only inaccurate, but also misleading.
The house also needs some issues tended to that would make it amazing.
When we arrived, we found out quite quickly that one of the 2 toilets didn’t flush. Alessandra said she would fix it after we had left so this was the first inconvenience.
Neither of the 2 bathrooms had a shower, and just an old bath with a hand held shower hose, again one of which did not work.
The house was 30 degrees inside on the day we arrived, there was no Airconditioning, ( this was stated in the listing ) Only 2 out of 3 bedrooms ( and not anywhere else in the house) had a pitiful fan that didn’t rotate at all, so it was quite impossible for anyone to sleep in the heat.
The amenities in the bathroom included a pump of hand soap, and a cracked old used bar of soap ☹️
The beach, although lovely, was not close by and was atleast a 15-20 minute walk including steeply ramped steps to the beach. This made visiting the beach impossible for my 72 year old mother and father, as well as a punish to carry my 6 year old to and from when she was too tired to walk.
Outside of 2 of the bedrooms was a noisy pump that came on late at night as well as about 5 or 6am , that ran the sprinkler system which incidentally came on by surprise whilst we were having a late supper in the garden, soaking ourselves and our food.
The perimeter of the garden has a very low wall about 80cm high that also has a step up to it. This is a serious concern for anyone with small children as over the wall drops about 3 meters into a road.
If any of these things were offered as quirks of the property upfront and we knew what to expect, it would have been more manageable. But the host left no information regarding the property except for how to separate the bins. I even had to contact her for the WiFi code. If a little time was put into repairing the house and updating a few items and some consideration put towards the comfort of the guests, this could be a wonderful place to stay. This could have been wonderful but instead was disappointing, resulting in us reducing our stay.
