We had trouble checking in (at midnight) because the address on the Airbnb listing is incorrect. Make sure you get the correct address from Laura if you are staying here! The guy who let us in also forgot his mobile phone (and was quite difficult to contact the whole time) so don’t rely on him! Laura however is very accommodating and gets back straightaway with any queries you have over the chat function. She also apologised to us for the hectic check-in by gifting us a voucher at a nearby restaurant which was very generous of her.
The private swimming pool is lovely and the view incredible. It’s a short but steep walk to a nice (but busy in august) sandy beach that is great for kids. I did struggle back to the villa on my own (pregnant) with a pushchair though and ended up driving to the beach after that! There are a few nice restaurants nearby but in general it’s not a busy area and very relaxing.
The house was very hot in August and it was a real shame there was no A/C. We had fans but it was still pretty uncomfortable to sleep for all of us.
The house isn’t really suitable for families with young children either. All of the rooms are far apart from each other and they are self-sufficient, like a hotel. They are on separate floors with their own lockable entrance doors off an external staircase. It’d be great for adults or teenagers who want privacy! But Baby monitors do not work in the villa because of the thick concrete walls so We all ended up in the same room (the coolest of the 4 was the basement and not the prettiest!) which was not the holiday we wanted!
The kitchen is well stocked but quite tired and We had a problem with the electricity tripping every time I tried to use the kettle and the microwave at the same time.
Overall, it’s a nice villa, in a pretty location with an amazing view but for us, it really wasn’t worth the inflated price tag that the summer of 2021 has given us.
