In August we as a family (2 adults and 3 teenagers) stayed in this villa for 2 weeks.
The rating is somewhat duplicate. There are great advantages, but also certain disadvantages of the house.
The location is perfect. In a 5-minute walk you are in the center, at the sea, harbor, restaurants and supermarket. The house is spacious and the area is quiet.
In recent years, however, we have stayed in villas that were completely free. This disappointed us here. The owner lives on the top floor. From the description it would appear that you only encounter him in the parking lot. However, this is not the case. He is often on the balcony, he regularly enters the garden to maintain the garden, to do his laundry in the apparently communal washing machine. This does not have to be a problem, but we have not experienced it as pleasant.
In addition, 50 kWh of electricity per week is included. It's almost impossible to stay below this. We hardly had any outside lighting on. Used the washing machine twice. Used the dishwasher 3 times. In addition, 2 air conditioners used in the evening and 15 minutes to cool the warm rooms.
In the end we had used 110 kW. We didn't have to pay anything extra, but this way does not contribute to a relaxing holiday. When I pay so much for 2 weeks, he can add a little more power. I understand that the owner wants to prevent people from turning on the air conditioners all day with the windows open, but 100 kW per week would be a lot more realistic.
We also had cockroaches from the first night. The owner also indicated this directly during check-in. However, one night 11 cockroaches walked around my daughter's bed. After that night she has been sleeping in the living room on a mattress. The owner has been careful to provide a solution by attaching a strip to the bottom of the door and providing us with a spray can to fight the cockroaches.
The house is also minimally furnished. There are 6 items everywhere (6 plates, 6 glasses, etc. We also had the experience at other houses that these were fully furnished. As another review also writes, the chairs and sofas are not very relaxing. They are made of rattan and this does not sit comfortably for long periods of time.
All in all, we had a great time. but in the future we will no longer choose a house whose owner lives on the property. The owner is a friendly and thrifty man who means it all well. We thought this house was way too expensive for the kind of luxury we got.
