Great Villa in a good location...

A few things really let our experience down and this mainly came down to some miss leading information and the way the owners who live in one of the villas treated us.

Firstly, it is described to have a washing machine, this is not true. One of the owners (mother) will do the washing for 6 Euro per load. And if you think this will come back dry, think again. We returned from a day out sightseeing to have our washing dumped on the outside table, wet and in a garbage bag. So some of our clothes smelt and had to be re-washed.

We also had an additional guest stay (even though we paid for the full weeks villa) we asked if it was okay and were told okay, then when it came to check out time, the owners wanted to charge that guest an extra 20 euro per night which again was not explained nor could we understand why it would be extra when we paid for the full weeks pax. The owners then told us they said it was okay because they could not see all the people who were there even though we were all standing there and they could see us all... Poor communication skills by the owners, seriously.

One last thing is that it says the pool is private, think again, about 10 school kids came one day and came in the pool, basically taking over... Also, you need to wear a swimming cap in their pool which they fail to tell you. seriously, we were on holidays. felt more like a school camp. these swimming caps they wanted you to wear would also cost 5 euro each...

There is also BBQ facilities and you would think there would be BBQ tongs to turn the meat etc, there is not so pack these if you are planning on using the BBQ.

Overall a great villa and location, these other things mentioned about did leave a bad taste in our mouth. There is a cleaning fee too and while the villa was mostly clean, I would not say the floors were kept very clean. No air-con in here either as mentioned on the web so would not stay here in the middle of the summer.

Would you recommend this property to a friend?  Yes
