Aug 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic villa and even better pool. Great villa. Pool and poolside best we have had. Non slip and wind protected. (Mostly). Occasionally road noise can be a nuisance but after a few days even that blends into the background. Well laid out and all amenities required for the stay are available. Even pool inflatables if required. Will definitely re book ##### David S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mandy C. Sep 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Ideal clean quiet family location If you are happy to pick up and drop your keys from a security box - then this property is ideal. Vehicle is required but shops and beaches are only a short drive away. Property is clean and ideal for family holidays. Only negatives: shower at the pool needs improving and no dishwasher. ##### Mandy C.

Property could do with a few more towels and tea towels I saw the previous review about road noise and to be honest I didn’t notice We had an issue with the tv but within 20mins of sending the email to management company it was responded to which was excellent Overall a very nice stay ##### Michael P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### encarnacion a.
