The location is quiet which we liked, and the villa was spacious for the 2 of us. They did offer the clean to villa half way through our 2 week stay. The sun was around the pool outside all day, so if you love the sun, this is your place.

There is no AirCon in the villa and this is a really problem, we were there during an August heatwave and there was no way of cooling the villa down, we had fans but they really did just move the hot air around. For me I wouldn’t say the pool was heated, even though the pool guy said everything was working, this was disappointing for me as this was on of the reasons we booked this villa, as I hate cold water. There was no extra towels or sheets in the villa, there was a washing machine with no products, nothing to clean to spray to clean in the kitchen. We found it strange that there was nothing in the kitchen, no condiments at all, I’m hoping that left our salt and other bits for someone else. There were missing window covers downstairs and the windows could do with blackout covers as the heat was beating through the windows in the kitchen and the living area was super hot. We had to leave the front door open with the other doors to try and get rid of the heat. There isn’t much room to park a car outside, we were ok as we hired a small car but anything bigger than a Corsa you would struggle to park.

The property was extremely clean! It smelt amazing on arrival. It looks exactly like the photos, very quaint and cute. It was very comfortable and we felt very settled in the villa. The pool is the perfect size for 2 people to float around and dip when it gets too hot. There are lots of fans available for all the rooms. The shower is amazing and the water pressure is excellent! We went at the end of September - the pool/patio gets the sunshine from about 12pm until 6:30pm so perfect suntan time! It also means the bedroom doesn’t get hot in the morning which is lovely. There isn’t a huge amount of pots and pans, but I did manage to cook a meat pasta and a veggie pasta at the same time so fine for simple meals! Very local to supermarkets so always had what we needed quickly, and there are some local restaurants/bars and the shopping centre very nearby. Everything else was a comfortable 10-15 minute walk (we didn’t get a single cab the whole trip). The sofas are very comfortable and the living room area is super cosy in the evenings. The beds are extremely comfortable. Mostly a very quiet location (which is surprising given the proximity to the road), we couldn’t hear anyone around us at all (except one day there was VERY loud building work next door right in the middle of the day - but at no fault of the villa or owners). There is a dishwasher which saved us from washing up all week as the cleaners very kindly provided dishwasher tablets. We really had a gorgeous time and would definitely return.

There isn’t any air-con (we knew this when booking so expected it) so it does get quite hot inside, however it has huge doors and windows both upstairs and downstairs and at least 4x large fans were provided so it was never a big issue. The BBQ is absolutely tiny, it would be nice to be upgraded. The toaster needs replacing - it tripped the electric every time I plugged it in and therefore couldn’t use it. The dining table chairs are very old and very uncomfortable. Whilst we had enough space, it would probably feel cramped for 4 adults to stay so more suited to a young family or a couple. We packed DVDs but the DVD player didn’t have a wire that was compatible so we couldn’t use it (it is a smart tv so Netflix saved us!). The pool gets very dirty as there is no cover, so is filled with lots of bugs and leaves.

It was secluded and ideal for our family

Nothing at all. I would like to add a little suggestion though. It would have been nice to have had some water, milk, coffee tea available on arrival, but that’s not a criticism. We had a very enjoyable stay indeed .

The showers are very bad. could do with more towels
