Although V Dinastia is in an amazing location, nothing justifies the prices that they ask.
We stayed on the top floor, in a 5 room apartment with 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen and we were highly disappointed at several levels.
The general higiene of the house was not acceptable. The bathroom floors were dirty and the toilets had hair. The kitchen utensils and general areas were badly cleaned. We then realized it might be because the dish-washer did not clean the dishes at all.
The kitchen was badly equipped, it clearly was not meant to have more than 4-5 people in the apartment, when it was told to us it could take up to 12. There were not enough plates, glasses, cutlery, etc. Additionally, it was clear that the V Dinastia staff did not have a proper inventory of what was in the apartment. We were told there would be a blender but no coffee machine, when there was a coffee machine and no blender. Not to mention that when we asked for a solution (e.g., a whisk), none was provided.
The living room’s ceiling had a very big humidity stain that was leaking directly on the couch. The majority of the blinds in the rooms did not work, which is a problem when you are in sunny Portugal. The majority of the doors in the house, specially the bathrooms, did not close. And there were no proper bathtub curtains in all bathrooms, you would take a shower and flood the bathrooms’s floor.
Overall, it was a very unprofessional and unacceptable stay. We advice the owners of V Dinastia to improve on their rental services, specially when guests are being charged for standards not met. We would still like to leave a positive note, the clocked-in front desk staff was very caring and nice towards all our queries; we clearly understood that they too were not aware of the state of the apartment.
