In peace and quiet: villa with AC, pool, 300 m² terraces in nature reserve

House is very nice, recently decorated with a modern feel and is spotlessly clean. Very well equipped, large kitchen. Pool area is large and beautiful with several different seating areas. Surrounding area is quite rural but local towns and coast are 15 - 30 mins drive. The approach road is unmade and slightly bumpy. It was fine for us but may pose a problem if you have a very low-riding sports car. Communications with the owner and property manager were excellent throughout and we would recommend this property as a good place to stay in the area.

A lovely villa with an outstanding pool area. The ice dispenser & chilled water was a huge plus. Good quality BBQ. Air Conditioning was a godsend. Nice welcome bottle of wine and water. We did have a few issues that other visitors may find useful to know about. Firstly when arrived at the villa (and unfortunately after the manager who met us had left) we realised that there was no bed linen or towels. When I queried this I was told that we were expected to either bring our own or pay extra for them. At the time of booking (hopefully the owner has changed this since) there was no mention of towels or linen not being included or any related charges. It would be difficult to bring your own linen, not just because of knowing bed sizes, mattress depth, pillow sizes etc but also the extra luggage space it would need while travelling. It’s debatable whether these charges would be more than buying some locally. The manager eventually arranged some linen and we made the beds up ourselves. Whilst the owner agreed that the property listing was unclear and kindly verbally agreed to waive the charges it was not until the end of the week (last day) that this was finally agreed leaving the uncertainty for the duration of our stay. When we booked we were charged an additional 100 Euro cleaning fee but the manager and owner wanted us to empty all the bins in the rooms, take the bin bags away to the nearby public refuse collection site and also clean the oven and the BBQ. We were also surprised to find that there was also no soap in 2 of the bathrooms and no spare toilet rolls. The first night there was an extremely loud party/event going on in the nearby Domaine Jare Vineyard, which meant we could not eat outside. The loud thumping music went on until the early hours of the morning. Fortunately this was the only night that this happened but worried us as it was the first night of our stay. The owner says this is a rare event, maybe 3 or 4 times a year. Another review mentions wasps, we had two nights that we could not eat outside due to the wasps which was a shame. Nevertheless the villa is lovely, well equipped and has great views across the vineyard. Apart from the first night we enjoyed peace & quiet for our stay although there was noise from time to time from the neighbours children playing in their pools. Be aware that the last 200 yards of the road are unsurfaced & may be an issue.

In great rural location. Peaceful. Fabulous pool. Villa is excellently equipped and presented throughout. Lovely welcome and help by local representative.
