Less than we expected
An expensive villa and not without its faults. Our stay was okay but we would not go back.
The garden is tidy and very private. There are only two sunbeds for six guests. One of the plastic chairs broke as soon as we sat on it. There is a big wooden table outside. It is rough with a risk of splinters but okay with a cloth over it. The pool is very small indeed. Guests are expected to clean it themselves. There is a parasol but no stand for use on the patio. There were no outside cushions as shown in the website photos. There are good lights in the garden and in the pool so it is very nice to sit outside.
The villa is very clean. The beds are comfortable, king size with adequate bedding. The bedrooms have fans but are cramped and the furniture is poor. Bedside tables are metal and going rusty. The wardrobes are very basic. The bed in the front bedroom is very loose and creaky. The windows do not have mosquito screens, just loose net curtains which insects get can easily get around. There is air conditioning only in the living room.
There was plenty of hot water. The shower nearest the front door leaks into the second bedroom and makes a puddle on the floor.
The living room is fine, large and spacious with a lovely fully-opening window to the garden. There is no lock on this window, just some cabin hooks, so if someone broke the glass it would be easy to enter the villa. Be careful when closing the front door as the interior handle comes off in your hand.
Toilet rolls are the only basic materials provided. No washing up liquid, cloths, cleaning materials, laundry liquid or dishwasher tablets, and only eight pegs for laundry. We were warned of this in advance, but it is not expensive to provide a sufficient quantity of these basic items for each set of visitors, especially as guests can’t readily buy them in the quantities needed just for a holiday. The dishwasher had no salt or rinse aid in it so did not clean items properly. There are adequate cooking utensils and pans. There is not enough crockery for six people, a mix of odd glasses and some cheap, light cutlery.
