We did not enjoy our stay at this house, to say the least. We, a small family of 5 (one baby, a young couple and father and mother) even left earlier during the week for a different accommodation. This had several reasons:
- The house is really small, situated at the back of a larger house (not part of the property). It has a decent terrace, but this borders directly to the - messy - terrace of the care taker, Alice, who lives in a similar house at the back of the larger house. This is not shown on the pictures. To say this is a villa is misleading.
- The care taker really kept an eye on us. Friendly or not, this is not what you expect on you holiday address. We got several notes left on our table outside saying we cannot do this, do that, pay attention to this - although she did not gave us a proper explanation on arrival. Really weird, she could also communicate to us directly.
- There are no views on the bay from the house, although this is advertised. The views which are shown are not visible because of olive trees. A lower natural terrace allows you views over the bay, but that is not part of the property.
- The rooms cannot be naturally cooled: because all windows and the house is faced south, it stayed 30+ degrees at night during our stay with fans on. Luckily the house has screens; there a lot of mosquitos during the evening hours.
- One bedroom is so small it hardly fits the two person bed, the other bedroom was dusty and had a pull-out couch that doubles as a - really uncomfortable - bed for two persons. Price / quality is poor, it does not sleep 5 persons comfortably.
- On top of this, one incident made us decide to leave directly: Alice notified us there was a wasp nest somewhere close to the house. She asked us if we were OK if someone would take care of the wasps with poison. That was OK, but as long as we were not there, because of the baby. We told her that during the day we would be on the beach, so that would be the right time. In stead, we were woken up in the morning around 7am by a man in a special suit (accompanied by Alice) spraying poison below our open bedroom window where the baby was also sleeping!
We packed our stuff the same day and left, really disappointing.
