We were the first visitors to the villa and were initially nervous, as there had not been any previous reviews. However, the villa was one of the best we have stayed in.
HOUSE AND GROUNDS - The Position of the villa is fabulous and one of its best assets. It is walkable to Punta Prima (hill on the way back) but is so secluded and private. POOL / BBQ - The pool is very large for a rental villa. You can actually have a proper swim. There are roman steps. It is well maintained and the Pool man came frequently so it was always clean. The retractable cover over outside the kitchen over the dining table was a lifesaver. It was so hot during the day the cover made lunch outside possible. GAMES ROOM - We had great fun in the evenings playing darts (I had never played before) and playing pool. The Bar is a great addition. We opened the garage doors to allow for ventilation while we used the games room. BEDROOMS - The beds were so comfortable. In the master bedroom, the beds were such good quality. LIVING/DINING - We did not really use the living and dining area as we were outside most of the time but they were airy and cool with good air-conditioning. KITCHEN - The kitchen was so well equipped with quality glass and tableware. Often in villas, they do not provide enough of each item. This villa had superfluous glassware and tableware. The two fridges and two freezers were brilliant as we had a ‘food fridge’ and ‘drinks fridge’. HOST - The host Catherine was attentive and accommodating. She responded quickly. A few items were left for our arrival such as bread and wine. This was a lovely gesture. Also, some antibacterial items and masks which was also a nice gesture due to the covid crisis. CLEANING - The villa was spotless. I am very fussy about villas being clean, I usually take my own cleaning spray and clean all bathrooms before my family use them! However, the villa was left so clean by the lovely housekeeper Giovanna. We met Giovanna during our stay and she was very friendly and helpful. IN SUMMARY - The villa felt like a home. I always prefer a privately owned villa to a villa company as they have higher quality fittings. We were so happy with the villa we are hoping for a second trip next year. After leaving such a positive review, I hope there will still be availability!
