10/10 Excellent
"We booked a premium 2 bedroom villa. It totally exceeded our expectations. We needed help being shown how to lock the sliding door from the inside but apart everything was awesome. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The villa had everything we needed for a week. No oven but a stove yop and microwave. It was calming, warm, cool, cosy, soundproof. Highly recommended. Totally in the best location to access the shops and Wategoes, right in the middle."
