Spacious luxury villa
My partner and I have just returned after staying a week at Villa Irene.
The villa is huge and was spotlessly clean. The entrance is amazing, even more grand than the photos appear.
The pool area is also spacious and the pool itself well kept. We had a gardener visit twice during our stay to tend the gardens and pool.
There are adjacent properties but fences and hedging ensure full privacy from the neighbours. There are also electric entrance gates for added safety.
Communication from the point of booking was excellent from the agent too.
WiFi at the property is slow compared to what we're used to in the UK (around 2-3MB). It wasn't an issue for the two of us but it may be different if there's a large group with lots of devices.
The reason for not giving 5 stars for our stay is that most properties in the surrounding neighbourhood appear to own dogs who bark for prolonged periods during the day and night time. We found ourselves woken in the night a few times because of this. It's obviously out of the control of the villa owners/agent but did stop our experience from being as tranquil and enjoyable as it otherwise could have been.
Other than that, Villa Irene is still highly recommended.
