We enjoyed 10 days at the lovely Villa Frares.
The two bedrooms that we used were spacious and had comfortable beds. Since it was October the nights were not hot but fans were available in each room. The entire house was very clean.
The upstairs rooms have great views over the grape-laden pergola and pool area below, and towards the hills.
We fell asleep nightly to the chiming of sheep bells. Quite enjoyed that!
The kitchen is well equipped but of course you need to get in all your supplies including washing up soap, salt and pepper etc....
The outdoor area is fabulous with so many choices of seating areas. The pool was a great size for 3 or 4 people to swim, and it was very clean.
The property is very large and totally private. The views of the surroundings are just stunning - exactly as the pictures show! There were so many fruit trees, grape vines and beautiful shrubs and flowers, all very well maintained.
It became necessary to contact Easy Villas on their emergency number on three different occasions (due to unforeseen issues with the gas boiler) and they were available and responsive. We were also happy with their communication before our arrival too.
The villa was the perfect location, close to everything we needed but just far away enough to enjoy total calm and privacy.
We got to meet Antonia, the owner of the house who is a lovely lady. We were treated to a tour of all the locked areas of the house which are like a museum for the authentic house furnishings and original way of life of previous owners.
Aside from the boiler glitches, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Frares and would love to return one day.
