Prior to arrival Angie was very helpful and responsive. Check in with Jonny was easy and simple. The villa itself is superb, a real home from home. 20 minutes to beach and 5 minutes to nearest town for supplies. Beautiful location. Thank you to Jonny & Angie for such a lovely stay! Highly recommended!
