Oct 7, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness Die Lage der Villa Elan ist superschön, Blick auf den See, am Horizont das Meer, wir haben die Abende auf der Terrasse sehr genossen.Und irgendswann hatte die Villa sicher auch die 9,4 Punkte von 10 (im Jahr 2020) auch verdient.ABER: Andrijj ist wahrscheinlich der neue Besitzer.... hmmmm, und die Villa hat tatsächlich einige Mängel.Angefangen mit der spärlichen Ausstattung, dann mangelnde Sauberkeit, die Küchenutensilien waren alle peckig, also klebten, wenn man sie angefasst hat, wir haben dann ersma gespült. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!!! Andrijj überwacht die Villa mittels Smartphone, checkt den STromverbrauch und macht dann entsprechende Ansagen über WhatsApp. Das hat uns gar nicht gefallen, wir fühlten uns überwacht, jeden zweiten Tag kamen Nachrichten und Anweisungen von ihm, nicht dort parken, die Klimaanlage nicht im Cool-Modus laufen lassen, die Fensterschließen, wenn die Klimaanalge läuft (ich denke, dass sollte selbstverständlich sein), Klimaanlage nicht laufen lassen, wenn wir die Villa verlassen, den kleinen WLAN-Router nicht dauernd am Strom haben, der hätte eine Batterie und viele mehr dieser Überwachungs-Nachrichten... ganz ehrlich, das geht gar nicht!!!Last niot Least: Der Zustand der Terrassenmöbel... von 2 Liegen waren 2 geflickt, von 4 Stühlen war einer so defeckt bzw geflickt, dass man sich nicht darauf setzen konnte, ohne Angst zu haben, dass der Stuhl zusammenbricht...FAZIT: Ich würde dort nicht noch einmal buchen, und schade, nur 1500 Zeichen mögl ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e27d9967-a33f-4165-a5c9-6a62564175c2-1759855479020.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8901a2f3-d7e7-40fb-a925-a342fb510e8e-1759855469205.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/72a0193e-60e6-416f-b10b-f8b82a814141-1759855458206.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Dirk H.
