Wow!
My wife and I stayed at this amazing villa in the beginning of February and I have to admit I was sorry to check-out after having got used to waking up, going down to the kitchen, fixing a coffee and sipping away on the terrace while enjoying the incredible view.
To be perfectly honest I was initially a bit apprehensive on booking this place since there were no reviews. It transpires that some of their previous clients preferred to remain anonymous. However, after having read their reviews on their other property I decide to risk it and I’m so happy that I did. And since I was treated so well I feel obliged to share my experience.
We arrived a little late and Carmelo greeted us with a bottle of bubbly and showed us around the house. First and foremost, this is a HUGE place. Granted in London houses tend to be on the smaller side but this place is truly immense. In fact, I would classify it as a boutique resort. The décor is amazing, the lighting subtle, the air conditioning incredibly effective. Honestly this place is a steal when compared to any presidential suite at any luxury hotel; in essence you get all the luxury without the hassle of other guests. When Carmelo left we couldn’t help but giggle; it felt as if we were dropped in a Hollywood mansion and expected to be surprised by a camera. So in short the photos match perfectly the truth.
We spent quite a bit of time lazing about on the various terraces and on most days we enjoyed a scenic walk to Selmun castle and back and in the evening we experienced some incredible food particularly at Mithna and Giuseppis both of which are about a 10 minute walk.
In the evening we would cozy up in the lower living room (yes you have to be specific as there are 3 living rooms inside and one outside!), under the watchful eye of portraits of Sean Connery and Marlyn Monroe. We would open-up a bottle of wine and enjoy playing a game of pool.
I will be back in summer and intend to make full use of the swimming pool that radiates this alluring aqua colour. I can't wait to be back.
If you can afford this place – Go for it!
