Villa Alba by Akasha Retreat

Ontzettend mooie villa op een rustige locatie. De eigenaresse, Daniela, was ontzettend gastvrij. Het ontbijt (wij zaten buiten) was erg goed met verse producten. Erg gezellig dat er 2 hondjes en een kat rondlopen, die kwamen vooral bij het ontbijt bij ons zitten :-) We hebben ook 1 avond in de andere accommodatie gezeten, Akasha Retreat. Prachtig uitzicht en ook erg goed eten. Ik had per ongeluk een kamer met externe badkamer (die was overigens wel privé en erg mooi) geboekt en toen we uiteindelijk toch een badkamer in de kamer wilden was dat tegen een heel klein meerprijsje zo geregeld.

Das Haus, die Gastfreundschaft mit viel Liebe zum Detail und traumhaften Räumlichkeiten sind fabelhaft. Gerne wieder!!!

The place has a beautiful garden with an incredibly beautiful view of the mountains. The room was very confortable and breakfast tasty offering a large variety of local natural food. The pets of the house are adorable and made our toddler's stay particularly pleasant. We felt welcomed and valued as guests.

The lobby was nicely decorated with a large and cozy fireplace. The breakfast, although limited, is tasty.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a disaster but by all means not a 9.5 fabulous location either. Here's why: - the old furniture in the room which looks and feels like 90s furniture. - the room's windows and access door towards the balcony which do not close well. - the fact that the presentation pictures are deceiving. You cannot tell from the pictures that the bathroom is 10m away from the room and that the square shaped building with inner windows mounted everywhere means that you have no privacy when commuting between the bathroom and the room itself. - the fact that we had to wait in the rain until we were lucky enough to have a tourist open the door of the villa for us. - the fact that there is no actual reception. The welcome pack was delivered via whatsapp 30 mins after pur initial call because we did not know what room we had, where the keys were etc. - the fact that at 7.30 am with a small child in our care had to search for the cleaning lady to get some toilet paper because in all that 10 sqm bathroom there was no (backup) toilet paper roll. Overall we left after less than 15 hours spent on the location. Lessons learned: dig deep into details when the description says external private bathroom. Did not imagine that this can exist on 9.5 rated location, even if the pictures don't tell the full story.
