I wish we had read the recent july review before we had gone as we experienced all the same issues - this is even more annoying as it means the owner was aware of these but didn’t fix them before we came. Infact the maintenance guy arrived as we were leaving !! The villa is a great big space but it is tired with a lot of broken furniture and fixtures - seats that are broken, broken glass on the roof top, faulty air con, cracked window, broken curtain rail and broken step machine in the gym and leaking water by the table outside. it’s also clear that the one guy who turned up to clean doesn’t have time to do a deep clean. i didn’t expect to have to scrub the fridge, sink and some of the walls! the pool filter had been turned off meaning it needed more chemicals and maintenance - thankfully the owner arranged that quickly. i think that some money from the hire income could be well invested in upgrading so that everything works and is clean.
Although not within the owners control - it’s worth noting that the stay is not quiet and relaxing - we had to endure the neighbours pool renovation drilling all day long, early morning roadworks (which don’t look like they will be finished quickly) and dogs on the neighbours balcony barking at 630am every morning and others from the back of the villa during the day.
