Villa Amelia

The biggest strength of this villa is undoubtedly its location. Situated closer to Lachania than Gennadi, it offers direct access through the dunes to a beautiful beach. The garden is huge, spacious, and ideal for families. The area is quiet, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The house itself provides plenty of space with four bedrooms and generous outdoor areas. For a beachfront property, the price is reasonable. I would also like to highlight that communication with the owner was excellent throughout. Before arrival and during our stay, communication was friendly, responsive, and professional. When we raised our concerns, the owner listened, acted fairly, and granted us a refund for two days of our stay, which we genuinely appreciated.

Unfortunately, the villa itself no longer matches the standard shown in the photos and would benefit from a significant maintenance refresh. Many of the issues appear to have existed for some time, as previous reviews have already mentioned similar concerns. During our stay we experienced: Excessive numbers of ants throughout the property. Cockroaches and rats in the garden. Torn mosquito nets on several windows. Humidity and a musty smell when the house was closed up. Broken bathroom door handles and doors that would not close properly. Dirty toilet brushes. Non-functioning outdoor shower. Broken garden bench that caused splinters. Worn and deteriorated sunbed cushions. Shutters that only partially open. Coffee machine keeps turning off. Electricity interruptions and air conditioning units switching off during the night. An upstairs bed that is extremely worn and noisy. Kitchen cupboards showing significant wear and damage. Rotten wooden decking in parts of the garden. A sofa with wooden parts protruding through the upholstery. What is disappointing is that many of these are relatively inexpensive maintenance items that could significantly improve the guest experience.

Közel a tengerhez, csendes környék, nagy ház sok szobával, jó felszereltség, szúnyogháló, szép nagy kert.

Este pár órán keresztül nem volt víz a házban, amikor beindult az öntözőrendszer a kertben.

We stayed at Villa Amalia for 9 days. The villa itself has great potential and the host was generally very responsive, quick to answer our WhatsApp messages, and tried his best to send help initially. However, our holiday was unfortunately disrupted by several persistent technical and infrastructure issues. Location is excellent...

​The Issues: ​Plumbing & Smells: For the first 3–4 days, the main sewer line was severely clogged. Every time someone used the toilets or indoor shower, wastewater with a bad smell backed up out of the outdoor shower. The host acted quickly and sent plumbers and a septic company to dig up the main shaft on the 4th day. Unfortunately, the fix wasn't permanent, and the exact same sewage issue returned 2–3 days later. We reported the recurring problem to the host, but unfortunately, we didn't receive a reply or further solution before our departure. ​Pests: Likely connected to the sewage and outdoor drainage issues, we had to eliminate 2 large cockroaches inside the house and spotted a rat on the outdoor patio canopy. ​Water Pressure: In the evenings, there was zero water pressure (making it impossible to shower or flush toilets) because the garden was being watered. The host promptly coordinated with the gardener to shift the timer to midnight, which solved the problem. ​Appliances & Wi-Fi: The dishwasher was broken upon arrival but replaced after 3 days. The upper-floor A/C fuse was down and the remote locked, which we resolved ourselves. On day 6, the Wi-Fi modem battery died; it was replaced the next evening, though the connection remained unstable. ​Conclusion: We appreciate the host’s responsiveness and effort during the first few days to solve the issues as they arose. However, spending a 9-day family holiday managing recurring plumbing failures, pests, and low water pressure was very frustrating. With better preventative maintenance and a permanent fix for the plumbing, this could be a wonderful place to stay.

Poca manutenzione, molte cose non hanno funzionato correttamente : - scarichi dei bagni che si inceppano - lavastoviglie che funziona a singhiozzi - alcune lampadine bruciate - zanzariere danneggiate in alcuni punti
