Golden Root San Teodoro

We had such a lovely stay at the villa. It was everything like on the photos. Clean both inside and outside. Inside both living and sleeping area was comfortable and each bedroom having its own en-suite. The outdoor space was amazing with a nice size pool and plenty of space to sunbath, kids to play and dine. The villa is very private, and not overlooked by anyone, and only a short drive from the main town with plenty of nice restaurants, but also so close to some of the best beaches we have been too. We loved our stay and definitely would come back.

Nothing not to like about the villa

Wow. This was an amazing villa. Manicured gardens, pool, shade, air con, bbq area… truly amazing for 2 couples and child. Short drive to the beach and small town. Highly recommend

Upon checkout, we were asked to take our trash with us. Prepare to stop at grocery store to stock pantry of basics.

Die Villa ist einfach ein Traum. Die Fotos auf Booking treffen voll zu.

This is a beautiful villa but it is the garden and facilities outside that really make it special. The garden is huge and very well maintained, the pool is lovely, plus there is a hot tub, roof terrace, ping pong table, swing seat and football table - lots to keep a family of different ages entertained! It was great to be able to sit and eat outside in the evenings, again with plenty of space. There is plenty of parking under cover too.

Despite putting the waste outside the villa each night for collection the next morning (as stipulated in the house rules), we had to pay €50 to the local agent on our final morning for her to dispose of the final lot of waste. There was nothing in the rules about this extra charge. The rules state that excess mess means extra cleaning (and therefore an extra charge) but we would argue that waste which has been sorted into the appropriate bins outside the villa, ready for disposal, does not constitute extra cleaning!! We can see from a previous review that others have had this problem. The agent in Milan suggested we shouldn’t have eaten at the villa for the last two days, and should have gone out for dinner instead. Then no additional waste would have been accumulated! The locks on two bathroom doors were broken and on 3 occasions, a member of our party got locked in. Twice it was possible to play around with the lock until it opened but on the third occasion we were unable to unlock the door and the person who was locked in had to climb out of a small window! When someone came to fix the locks, we were told not to use the locks in future! House rules request the villa be kept clean. With this in mind, we wanted to use the vacuum cleaner. This was broken and part of it stuck together with black tape. When we asked for a replacement, the local agent suggested that we use a dustpan and brush. Given the size of the villa, this suggestion was nonsensical. A replacement vacuum was then provided. On arrival there was only a small amount of watered down washing up liquid. We went out and bought our own cleaning products. We don’t know if these products were left for the next occupant to use. None of the safes worked and the local agent had to unlock them so we could access our valuables. The ping pong table was dirty with only a couple of bats and one ball which were usable. Lying loose on the ground on our arrival. The hot tub also had to be cleaned by us on arrival
