The villa was wonderful with the most beautiful views of the area. It was breath taking. I would suggest cleaning the carpet on the stairs and in the living room. Kitchen knives need sharpening and maybe a few more kitchen utensils for cooking.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
