Disappointed -

POOR MANAGING: We arrived on the Wed 13th July. There was a flight delay and also the car hire took a very long time. By the time I gave our contact a call 30 minutes later than planned, her reaction on the phone was so aggressive, grumpy and not happy at all. She said she would see tomorrow and the next day she cancelled as she was busy with meetings. It would have been good to be shown everything we needed to know about the house that day, beware the service revolves around the property manager schedule and was reactive not proactive. We had a day of cold showers then info came in on how to warm the water. STRESS: A day before our departure I was stressed out by calls at 09:30am telling me to check out - this was a day early!. I explained but she would not listen, she insisted I call John and get him to send her a text. Surely this was her job - no customer service at all - ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS ADDED: During our stay additional I was told warned about over using the electricity and water saying they would charge me for this, which scared me as I had no way of checking or proving what my usage was they could say anything they wanted. They also added that all bins must be emptied and the house be clean. Surely all these conditions should be made clear upfront and not added on to the contract whilst we had already started our stay - to be honest I felt like we were being bullied and could not say anything. POOL: On our arrival I noticed that the pool was not clean, which makes me wonder if it was cleaned before our arrival? The pool was cleaned 2 days before our departure, surely the pool should be cleaned on the day guests check out. Pool was not heated at all and the water was cold. main pool is small and only 0.8m deep RE ELECTRICITY: On Wed 20th the day we were vacating - Electricity kept cutting out. I spent most of the morning running up to the third floor to switch the main switch back on! This was so frustrating and stressful, I thought something major had gone wrong. On the day the family were trying to get ready and shower which also kept cutting out. We had some clothes to wash and dry as well as cook breakfast. The electricity limitation should have been mentioned to me in advance because I would have planned better and not stressed! In the end we couldn't even use the kettle, very disappointed. Beware!

Nice location with magnificent view

The property met all the description provided in the booking system. It was very well equiped with all we needed during our stay. The games room was a huge add on. The location was easy to find using the google maps but additionally the directions from the owner helped us to navigate. The view from the terrace and the rooms was amazing. The space outside the property was just right for our family to relax. The water in the pool was nicely heated, however the pool itself is more for cooling down or for little kids to play rather than to be used for swimming due to its depth. There were couple things at the arrival which I wanted to highlight. There was a long list of warnings on the electricity or water use, which we only received with the arrival form emailed to us before the arrival. This made us affraid of what the limitations may man in terms of the stay’s comfort and the total cost. However at the check in we were told to disregard these warnings. This made us completly lost. If only such things were listed in the booking system all the rules of the house were clear upfront. Given we were moving from one location to this property, we requested an early check in, which was impossible due to cleaning, however we were offered to drop our luggage so that we could spend the day on the planned activities. We truly appreciated the flexibility. However when returning later for the formal check in we had to wait 2 hours in front of the property awaiting the manager who had other check ins to make. If only the already established communication channel had been used by the manager, we could have enjoyed the activities or have dinner instead of awaiting the check in till 7 pm. Just minor things to improve and make the stay even more enjoyable.
