Overall we enjoyed the property’s location and the host(s) we’re very friendly, helpful and responsive. but we were very disappointed with the description of the villa and it’s reality. This made our stay compromised and at times uncomfortable.
1. Rooms
The property said it had 5 bedrooms, however 2 of these were very small singles - one extremely small. The one in the cellar linked to the utility room was in our opinion not really a bedroom but an area where a bed was placed - unusable as it was dark, smelt very musty and of the chemicals from the utility room. Not a place any of us would wish to sleep at any time.
The smallest single room on the ground floor by the front door, which was a bedroom, was extremely small (tiny) and did not have any air conditioning and wasn’t usable.
2. Air conditioning
The property details say all bedrooms have air conditioning (“in every bedrooms and living room”). The ground floor single did not have any air con and was stifling all day and night with the heat. As such it was unusable.
As a result of 1 and 2, we had to move the bed from the ground floor single and set up a bedroom in the dining room adjacent to the kitchen (which had air con). Not a great solution but the only one available to us - this resulted in members of our party not being able to access the kitchen at all times as this would wake the person in the makeshift bedroom and it also resulted in poor nights’ sleep for the person staying in there.
Given we were a party of 6 adults and we expected 5 bedrooms all with air conditioning, this was not the reality. The temporary nature of a hastily set up bedroom in the dining room and it’s compromise to the kitchen was very disappointing. Sadly, as much as the hosts were friendly and helpful people and the property in a beautiful location, the property was not as described and such we would expect some form of refund for our stay.
