We stayed at the Villa in the last week of July and following on from the previous guests' reviews our family were also all bitten very badly - my wife had to take our seven month baby (who had over 65 bites) to the doctor upon our return to get some mild steroid cream for them both. We were informed that it was either bed bugs or mosquitoes - either way this should be investigated by the owners, action taken and future guests advised appropriately. If it's the latter for example, perhaps warn people that they should use repellent.
Other gripes include the directions to the villa which delayed our arrival by 30 minutes. They were impossible to follow and our point of contact spoke very poor English - which was strange as our other point of contact - Sabine - who was waiting for us at the start of the two mile off-road track to the villa spoke good English. Not sure why we had the middle man!
In addition, the gardeners came during one afternoon when we were in the garden so we had to vacate it for over an hour - perhaps this could be done on changeover day? We couldn't use the downstairs toilet for a few days as it had problems flushing and same with the dishwasher, which seemed to have a problem with the plumbing - nothing major but just irritating with a family or seven
Overall, however, the villa was very nice. Stunning rural location, very spacious, beautifully decorated and well-equipped. We enjoyed our stay here.
