First off I don't normally leave bad reviews but it's fair to say we were disappointed in the quality of this rental. The villa is very tired and run down and absolutely not of the quality you would expect. It feels like it has not been updated in 30 years!!
The property is very run down, several light bulbs not working, unclean (huge cobweb in the shower room), really smelled like it had not been aired out for several months.
Generally the quality of furniture was very poor, the sofas were very uncomfortable to the point where you couldn’t sit on them for long periods. They feel very old and worn out. This also goes for the beds which were very creaky and uncomfortable.
The main shower room was poor, the shower head attachment on the wall did not work and the shower head itself just sprayed water in every direction. The toilets in both shower rooms were very dirty. The towels provided were really poor quality.
The kitchen was very poorly appointed and lacked key cooking implements, no wooden spoons for example! The lack of wine and champagne glasses was very strange! There was also no cleaning equipment, no cloths, washing up liquid, bin bags etc.
The outside of the property felt pretty run down, especially the entrance, it did not have good kerb appeal and provide a sense of something special when you arrived which is a shame for a holiday property. The pool was fine but the dead snake in it was not ideal.
With regard to communication, check in was easy enough but the lack of welcome pack and information was a shame. No house info or local info, not even a note about refuse disposal!!
