climatized pool, internet and total privacy

Our stay was great for many reasons. Location - this house is in a quiet residential area, away from roads and busy tourist areas,perfect if you want peace, quiet and privacy. There is plenty of space (secure behind an electric gate) for parking a car, which you’ll need if you’re staying this far from the main resort areas. Small convenience stores nearby with the larger supermarkets within a few minutes drive. House and grounds - the house was spotlessly clean when we arrived and the layout is great with enough space to ensure you’re not falling over the top of one another. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and there's plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The kitchen is well equipped and contains pretty much everything you need for holiday catering. The patio area is enormous so you can follow the sun all day. The pool is built into the volcanic rock landscaping with no pool cover so you do have to scoop out leaves/debris if it’s been windy. Jose who manages the property comes to clean to pool and ensures he's not disturbing you. If you have very small children you'd have to keep a constant eye on them as there's no way to isolate the pool area or the wider gardens. The outdoor shower and small laundry room with WC mean you don't have to traipse back through the house to the bathroom if you've been in the pool. Comms/contact - Jose provided several recommendations and was super-kind when I left some items behind, ensuring I got them back before my flight.

This is a lovely Villa, very well equipped and spotlessly clean, although a little remote as far as shops are concerned. Jose was very helpful, kindly letting us check in an hour early, and when we reported a problem with the air conditioning he was there within an hour to sort it out. We’d be very happy to return some time.

The villa is true to the photos on VRBO. Jose left a welcome pack on our arrival. Excellent.

Great beds and pillows, clearly some money has been spent on new wash basins and taps recently. Rest of the villa was lacking. Barely any hand soap in the dispensers. Bit of a mish mash of cutlery, kitchen utensils , glasses and crockery, but no different to any other AirBNB we've stayed in. As newcomers to the island, we could have done with an Information Pack for the Villa and Island, eg where to shop and where to dine. Also where and how to dispose of the rubbish, and the 'leaving policy' etc. On arrival, we got the impression that the villa hadn't been let for a while as the pool wasn't really ready. Very cloudy and with bugs and leaves in it. Yes, we were a couple of hours early and accepted that Jose was still cleaning the terrace, so we left and returned later. This was Saturday, and he didn't address the cloudy pool until Monday. It was lovely and warm though, when we did use it, which for me was every day! This could have been sorted several days before we arrived though. Never needed the AC as the villa was cool, but also quite dark. We never used the BBQ. It still had coals in it from a previous letting and looking at the state of the grill,(old, dirty and rusty) we decided not to use this. We did use the washing machine,which was excellent.The washing lines were in the darkest,coldest place in the villa, with no pegs. Some reviewers said they had a complimentary welcome pack, but we didn't. Anyway, Jose left us to do our own thing, and we appreciated this. Thanks
