Amazing private villa, but definitely rural and remote
This villa is very private and definitely somewhere to feel like you've "escaped from it all." The views from the villa are rolling hills of farmland. I was skeptical about renting a house without a/c, but even in the hottest of weeks (highs of 35-37°C / 95 - 98°F) the bedrooms are cool in the evening and the veranda by the pool remains nice in the afternoon as well. It's a great place to be with a group of friends, but also works wonderfully for when you need some quiet time thanks to the various seating areas.
Pros: the sunsets, great pool, modern renovated bathrooms, the hot tub, functional kitchen, lots of seating areas and terraces. Amazing picturesque landscape. Kitchen fully outfitted with all the accessories you could need to prep a meal. There was a welcome basket with coffee, wine, pasta, snacks. Washing machine AND dryer.
Cons (to be aware of, but they didn't ruin our stay): It's decidedly buggy and there can be ants in the kitchen even putting away all food, on a rocky dirt road that can be tough for a low car, nearest proper supermarket is 25 min away, the mattresses could be replaced and even the kids complained about them. Some early mornings you'll be awoken by tractors driving on the rocky roads if you're not a deep sleeper. The bedrooms are all next to each other so snoring can be heard on the other side of the wall.
