The villa is amazing, absolutely everything you could possibly need, so it felt very homely. We were a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 children - a 3 year old and 8 year old. Both children loved the pool and swings.
The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning was amazing as it was very hot and humid at night. We had one issue during our stay but Raquel sorted it very quickly so I have no problem in recommending the villa for other families.
I would recommend a car to explore the island - it was my first time driving abroad and it was very easy.
