Overall the property is good although one of the bathrooms was filthy. Having reported it the response was the cleaners had confirmed that they had cleaned the en suite and we would have to pay to have it cleaned again. Very disappointing and unhelpful.
Everyone enjoyed the stay at this beautiful villa. It was set in beautiful grounds with stunning views and the pool was a great size. It had plenty of sun loungers and 2 great seating areas outside but under cover. There was plenty of parking. It also had 2 fridge freezers which was great, one for food an one for drinks which all large villas should have.
The one bedroom upstairs had a very large balcony but unfortunately they did not put any seating on it which was a shame.
The rooms were all a fantastic size and the kitchen could do with a few oven pans.
The two bedrooms downstairs we found that the beds were not comfortable and would benefit from better mattresses or bed toppers but I guess that's our personal view.
All in all a fantastic holiday at a stunning villa which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

Relaxing and spacious retreat
We had a wonderful stay and really enjoyed the calm and comfortable environment. The villa provided everything we needed to unwind. The boat tour service was a fantastic addition and added something special to our holiday.

Great villa for a peaceful break

Amazing place!!
We have not long come back from this villa and it was brilliant. Had more than enough room for 9 adults and 3 kids. The place was spotless when we arrived and the local rep came to meet is not long after we got there. They showed us around and then left us to it but where only a phone call away if we needed them. We would highly recommend staying here and would happily go back again ourselves

An amazing Villa!! Ten out of ten!!!
Villa Valentina was a truly amazing villa, with all the facilities needed to have a fantastic stay. There were 10 members in our party, to celebrate a special 60th birthday, and we were all very comfortable in the villa, with loads of space. The gorgeous pool and outdoor area made a superb spot for sunbathing and dining outside. David, the rep, was very helpful and welcoming. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay.

Peaceful Retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed the calm and spacious environment, which made our stay relaxing and enjoyable. The villa provided the perfect setting for a comfortable and stress-free holiday. We also appreciated the option to book a boat tour through the company.
Nous avons grandement apprécié notre sejour dans ce bel endroit. Propre, climatisé et les espaces exterieurs très agréables. Parties de billard au retour de la plage un plus.
We hebben een fantastische vakantieweek gehad mede dankzij de geweldig mooie villa. Vanwege het prachtige weer hebben we elke dag gebruik gemaakt van het zwembad. Elke dag konden we onder de overkappingen lekker buiten eten en of vertoeven bij het zwembad.
We were a family of 10 and have stayed in a number of villas over the years, but this villa was amazing.. The standard or accommodation was excellent, we organised the transfers were perfectly on time and everything ran like clockwork.
A special mention to Olivia Who was spot on through the whole booking process.
We are considering rebooking for another holiday
We did choose the pool heating and in September I would highly recommend it ..
Great villa, massive pool to keep the children happy! Very clean and spacious.
Vrbo need to update their pictures as the layout and furniture is now different.
We all had the best time here, the local team who met us were brilliant and the Villa was even better than we expected. Great for all age groups from 3 to 73! Thanks for a lovely stay we've made some super memories.
Es war ein sehr schöner entspannter Urlaub in einer schönen großen Villa ohne neugierige Nachbarn. Das beste an der Villa war der schöne große Pool. Bis auf die beiden unrenovierten Bäder im Souterrain ist das Haus perfekt. Etwas nervig war nur, das man wirklich alles kaufen musste, selbst Toilettenpapier in jedem Bad nur eine Rolle, naja ist dort vielleicht so. Zur Sauberkeit kann ich nur sagen, ist in Ordnung aber verbesserungswürdig .
Un accueil chaleureux de Bruno qui ont associé le charme du site et le confort du logement . La piscine juste pour nous dans un jardin très soigné. Et une maison dans laquelle tout est parfait. ( que ce soit le confort du lit la propreté irréprochable du lieu ).
Merci!
Had a great time in this gorgeous villa which met the needs of our family. From start to finish the team was helpful. Transfers to the villa and airport were very efficient. Friendly staff. Thank you!
We were a family of 9 with ages ranging from 1 to 65 and we all had a great time. The pool was a lovely size and a good temperature (we paid for heating) so we made the most of it. The kids loved the pool table and table tennis. The villa was very clean with plenty of clean towels etc and more than enough space for a big family.
We rented cars and its only about 15 min drive to the the nearest beaches. You have to drive everywhere but it's worth it for the quiet location and space you get from being further out. We would definitely return!
