Beautiful Villa "Beach Palmitos" with Wi-Fi, Balcony, Garden, Terraces & Pool

Pros: Villa was very convenient to shops and restaurants. Pool was good as were outdoor facilities ie plenty of places to sit or sunbathe. Table tennis table was an excellent addition as were inflatables and towels provided for pool area. Host was lovely, very accommodating. As our flight arrived early we were able to have an early check in which was great. Cons: Air conditioning in bedrooms (except small bedroom) was great but the lack of it in main areas of house ie lounge and kitchen areas was an issue. Also although villa had a rustic feel to it, it is in need of modernisation in lots of areas.

The villa exceeded all our expectations. Everything was provided and beds were very comfortable. 6 adults and 3 children stayed and there was so much room to use. Outside area was spacious with plenty of seats and tables. Lots of shade to relax in and the pool was just perfect. The nearest supermarket was only a short walk away and the beach was 5 - 10 min gentle stroll. We couldn't have asked for anywhere more perfect to stay.

Pros: Schöner Pool. Großes Haus mit drei Bädern und toller Außenanlage. Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber. Cons: Teilweise etwas abgewohnt. Bäder haben deutlich unterschiedlichen Standard. Eines der drei Schlafzimmer hat keine Klimaanlage.

The positives - villa is well located, suitable for large groups the gardens are well maintained, pool is nice, but un-heated, great for the warmer weather to come. The negatives - house had been shut up for winter so ground floor smelt quite damp. So much so that the owner came to visit and suggested ventilating. Unfortunately we were unable to use one of the five bedrooms as a result. The plumbing required unblocking in the ground floor sink, a simple but inconvenient fix that should have been attended to prior to our arrival given the cost of the accommodation. The house is very old and the electrics are not up to standard - the oven tripped the fuse box so we ate half of our meal in darkness waiting for the owners son (the host) to arrive to fix it. He disconnected the oven and told us to not use any of the heaters provided (despite it being 10 degrees in the evening!). They repaired the oven without communicating this to us so we did not know they had let themselves into the property and did not know we were able to cook which was annoying. The garden furniture is no longer the luxurious wooden thickly padded set that appears in the photo. It is now a basic black rattan set with thin cushions. The lounge sofas have also been replaced with a basic and smaller sofa that seats less. Neither idea if you are a group. They should be more transparent with their photography. The host offered a partial refund for the inconvenience but then turned nasty and VRBO had to mediate.
