The good:
- The villa has a great layout for a large family, with ample lounging area, spacious bedrooms (most had a little private terrace too)and more than enough bathrooms. Compact but really nice garden with a well-sized pool too.
- Fantastic location, close to the beach
- We had some issues with extra keys, which required some coordination with the local property manager (of the resort where the villa is located). It took a few days to sort everything out , which was annoying, but I do feel the agent did their best to follow up and work things out.
The bad:
- The interior of the villa is rather... eclectic. A very outdated mix of pastel colors and lots of bling / glass / gold
- The general cleanliness was good, but the villa was in need of a rather thorough spring cleaning, in our opinion (cupboards, appliances, ...)
- a lot of cupboards were filled with private items and supplies from the owner (I assume) which was a bit inconvenient and gave a bit of a weird vibe sometimes. It would be better to have one locked cupboard per room with their private items.
- very dated kitchen, some appliances were so old the markings had faded and you had to guess which mode they were on (dishwasher) and which buttons to press.
Conclusion:
We had a very nice holiday due to the excellent location and the generally good layout of the villa. With a reasonable amount of refurbishment this could be a really fantastic property.
