Overpriced for the location & villa features.
All in all, a costly and disappointing experience. Starting with the positives: the owner is friendly and a good communicator with recommendations for dining and boating. The grounds of the property are extensive with ample space as well as outdoor dining settings, sun lounges and umbrellas, an outdoor lounge suite and table, as well as a table tennis table and even mini golf. The pool is small but for kids it's perfect!
My problem is the actual villa and location - both falling well short of "luxury". The neighbourhood itself is certainly not upmarket. Note that most of the reviews are from 2014, which makes me wonder if the price was more reasonable then. The daily rate now is just short of 500€. For that you get a kitchen/lounge, bathroom & two small bedrooms- neither with an ensuite bathroom. Bath towels are small to say the least & no shampoo or shower wash was to be seen. Likewise a dishwasher without dishwashing powder/ tablets or dishwashing liquid & a coffee machine with no pods- and they are of a sort you can't buy at a supermarket. If I was able to go down to the shops in the few minutes suggested in the description I would be more forgiving but that fact is you are 15- 20 minute drive to anywhere & only reached by potted back lanes. Even expensive local taxis cannot find the location- perhaps this is why was there was no self check in. Lastly, the many cats hanging around the villa might bother some, not us, but the incessant barking of dogs did.
