Would love to give 5 stars, but this property was advertised with air conditioning and there is none. This was a surprise, particularly as the temperature on arrival was 41 degrees C, and the properties are designed for colder winters than Mediterranean properties. Having purchased 2 fans, it was slightly more bearable to sleep, but uncomfortable, and of course led to an increase in insect bites through leaving the windows open.
White goods, TV, Stereo etc could do with an upgrade.
The pool is amazing and the lavender smells great, attracting many bees.
The dirt track to the property is not good for a small car and may invalidate car hire insurance, particularly for under car damage. The local wildlife is awesome - saw a family of 12 wild boar closeup one evening, and 2 wild horses visited the neighboring olive grove which was quite a surprise. No wifi was a shock to the children, but great if you want to get away from it all - 1 bar of 3G - This is not a complaint but a compliment as no work done during the 2 week stay.
Luca, the owner met us on arrival and showed us around the property. There was a restriction on the amount of electricity per week, but this was generous, and unless you plan to hoover 24/7 it would be difficult to use this (there are wooden floors so not required!).
Storage space for clothes is quite limited as there is a lot of personal items in the cupboards, and there were around 5 or 6 coat hangers in one wardrobe.
It did not quite meet with our expectations, but with some effort this could certainly be made into a fantastic holiday property.
