There are many positive points about the villa. The gardens are beautiful and it is very obvious the years of dedication and hard work taken to make it a thing of joy. We were very lucky to be able to relax in the space and enjoy the fabulous pool.
The outside of the villa itself is really charming however we were disappointed by the amenities within the villa.
It is a very outdated decor and the doors of the rooms and the kitchen presses all make loud clattering noises- we still couldn’t get used to the banging on the last of our 10 day stay. I feel this could be fixed with a little work to install soft closings on doors and cupboards so everyone is not awakened by the first up each day.
The fridge is old and dripping water and the kettle leaks out when pouring- small things maybe but constantly annoying.
The towels were not in sufficient quantity or quantity and some of the bedding the same I’m afraid to say- old and a bit worn mostly.
The walk-in shower ran hot and then after a bit went into a cold cycle- so much that my elderly mother gave up on it as it was too risky for her to use.
We were majorly eaten by mossies although covered in repel and using sprays etc. Maybe it was an unusually hot muggy time, but we had to keep the doors closed at all times and thankfully there are nets on the windows. There is good AC in all rooms except the kitchen!!
The other bathroom has a shower over bath so the 6 of us used the one walk-in indoor and the other at the pool to get ready in the evenings.
It would be a good walk to the village , I’d say about 40 minutes but we drove to the town and port.
But the good things were the pool , the outside kitchen, the wonderful gardens and parking, and the sofas were comfortable and there is a large smart TV with Netflix.
Sandra was in great communication throughout and fresh towels and sheets were left out once during our stay.
