We had a great holiday - Grandparents, parents, a 5yr old and a 1yr old.
The pool was a particular highlight, we were able to keep cool in it - and fortunately some of the water was in the shade for lots of the day. Long enough to swim a few lengths and fit inflatables in too.
The fake grass around the pool looks really smart but gets very hot in the sun so flip flops are a must.
Lovely outdoor shower and lots of seating with a retractable shade overhead.
We weren’t overlooked by neighbours at all in the house nor garden.
The kind hosts kitted the house out with plenty of baby equipment which made it much easier than it could have been. The hard floors throughout which kept the house cool did mean a few bruises of course.
There’s an amazing kitchen with all you could need crockery/glassware/utensils/tuppaware/foil etc! We loved the fridge/freezer which provided cooled filtered water and ice cubes.
We didn’t need to use the inside dining area as we ate on the balcony all the time.
The TV had lots of channels plus Netflix, Amazon Prime… possibly more.
The fans in the bedrooms were great and necessary as we stayed at a very hot time of year.
The neighbourhood seems calm and quiet but because of the bowl-shaped valley which all the houses are around, the noise carries from one side to the other very easily. It depends when you’re there whether you have all night parties to block out with closed windows, closed shutters and the fan on as you sleep.
The walk to the beach is about 10-15 minutes and has a very steep slope downhill… which means after the beach, it’s that same steep walk uphill.
There is a lovely restaurant as you reach the beach which we recommend and the walk back home is actually a pleasant way to aid digestion or sober up!
We had a lovely lady who lived locally called Julia check us in and out of the villa and she was around to help if we needed anything during our stay.
