Villa Dolce Vita

Vanessa was very helpful!

N/A

It was so private and they had thought of everything! Was excellent for a family, we travelled with our 6 month old and they had everything we needed from a cot to bouncers and a baby bath and even extra nappies in case we ran out

It was slightly further out than we expected but that’s on us for not checking the maps properly!

We, as a family of 8 stayed here for our Wedding, and it's was FANTASTIC. From before we arrived, the AMAZING Vanessa had us feeling at home. She met us when we arrived and so kindly had our rooms decorated with surprises for our holiday of a life time. The property is what dreams are made of. Our kids range from 17yr -8weeks old. Vanessa made sure the property had everything we needed. The whole villa is spotless and so much detail has been taught of. Vanessa was enormously helpful. She even booked our wedding dinner and ordered taxis to my wedding for us. The villa is a steal for the experience and we would of happily paid much more. You will need to use taxis, but everything can be delivered to your door so quickly and taxi access is very easy. I highly recommend this property.

That we had to leave.

It was clean in the main villa.

The villa itself is lovely, but unfortunately several issues significantly affected our stay. On arrival, we were informed by the host that the air conditioning in two of the bedrooms was broken. During our one-week stay, the engineer who was supposed to repair the units never arrived, and we were left relying on two fans, which were completely inadequate in the heat. Communication from the host was poor, and we were not kept informed about what was happening with the repairs. We were even advised that one member of our party could sleep on the sofa in the lounge instead. However, this wasn't a practical solution because the lounge air conditioning couldn't be used, as the remote was locked away unless you paid an additional €5 per day per air conditioning unit. The same applied to the upstairs bedroom air conditioning for the first two nights. The downstairs apartment was suggested as an alternative, but it was damp and had a noticeable musty smell, so it wasn't a suitable option. Another disappointment was having to spend a considerable amount of time cleaning the pool ourselves. There was also no mid-week clean, which we have always received when staying in other villas. A car is essential for this property, as it isn't within easy walking distance of shops or restaurants. Reversing out of the driveway is also quite difficult. Vanessa is pleasant, but unfortunately she was disorganised, communication was poor, and timekeeping was lacking throughout our stay. Overall, the villa itself is nice, but these issues spoiled what should have been a relaxing holiday. For the price, I believe there are better villas available in the area that offer better value and a more enjoyable experience.
