Words cannot express the disappointment my family experienced. The total cost for this “Villa” with all added cleaning, etc… for one week was $9,332.76.
We were a multigenerational group with 3 adults over 80. Before booking I explained that we would have grandparents in our group, thus important that this house would be appropriate.
The “Villa” is old and tired. There are windows coming off the frames, enough cracks to allow mosquitoes in ( which did happen).
The lighting is horrible. There are not enough lamps, and the ceiling lighting is questionable.
The cabinets in both the kitchen and master bathroom are broken and falling apart.
We did not need to turn on the cold water when taking a shower as the hot never got hot enough.
The “well equipped “ kitchen had old pots and pans thrown in a couple cabinets.
There was one wine glass and six random coffee cups when we arrived.
There were zero serving bowls or platters.
We served a salad in a pasta pot.
The bedrooms offered two hangers per room. There are zero mirrors in the bedrooms.
We encountered several large roaches in the master bedroom and bathroom in the evenings.
The outside dining table and chairs are old, and several of the chairs are rusting out.
The pool is under many trees. When we arrived it was a mess, and though they did make an attempt to clean it, within hours it needed attention again.
Bottom line: this is a PARTY HOUSE
Perfect place for people to come and have a great time if they do not care about much more than keeping their beer cold.
I will give the owner 10 Stars for the beds. They were all very comfortable. I also greatly appreciated the quick response from management regarding our needs ( more hangers, wine glasses, towels, blow dryer).
Truth be told, I should not have ever needed to make these requests.
As I mentioned to the owner and management, I am very embarrassed that I brought together family from all over the country to this.
I still do not understand the raving reviews.
After our many stays at Airbnb’s, and many great experiences we found our bad apple.
A shame.
