8/10 Good
"The two-bedroom villa was perfect for our family vacation. The property was basically clean - fresh linen and towels, etc., -- but the furnishings and carpet were worn and dirty. We understand that the villas where we stayed will be refurbished in the near future. But we were comfortable anyway; it was a relaxing stay for us with a 3 1/2 year-old not having to worry about "fancy" furnishings."
