Nice Villa, but you need a car and monitor your electric use
As everyone else has said, this is a pretty nice villa with a nice pool. On the whole, I can’t complain about the villa itself, and agree with all the positive things said.
However, there are a few minor downsides which would stop us from personally booking again (some of these are totally out of the owners control, and in by no means a ‘criticism’, more an observation).
We were limited to 85kwh ‘for free’ for 5 nights. We used 83kwh but only used the washing machine 3 times (on the cheap rate), dishwasher once and the aircon for 20 minutes. I understand it is to prevent people leaving the aircon on 24/7, but I think the house passively uses pretty much all of the free electricity.
There is nowhere to ‘walk’ to from the villa. It is surrounded by other gated villas, and you will need a car to go anywhere (no local shops/restaurants/community etc). Having said that, if you just want to hang out at the villa and not go anywhere, it is perfect for that.
Lots of dogs barking in the neighbourhood.
The pool loses the afternoon sun quite early (6pm in June).
The en-suite shower was so scaled up we all ended up using the other shower as the water flow wasn’t good.
We didn’t realise until the first day that check-in was expected to be at 4pm (we have always done ‘self check-in’, so this is our fault!). Unfortunately, this ruined the plans for our day as we had to cut them short in order to get there to meet the owner.
Honestly, a great villa, despite the negative observations.
