We are writing this review upon request. The host was genuinely kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, and the villa is in a great location. Unfortunately, that is where most of the positives end.The villa is in poor overall condition and needs major refurbishment. While some cosmetic improvements have been made, it still feels outdated and neglected. One bedroom has no proper window, one bathroom is very old, doors squeak, several light bulbs and electric blinds did not work, and some sockets were even secured with tape. The dryer, dishwasher, stereo, pool heating, skimmer, and filter pump all had issues, the pool had to be cleaned by hand every day. The advertised hot tub was also missing.We requested baby equipment months before arrival but received only a collapsing travel cot and a high chair. We had to buy a baby bathtub ourselves after being informed just before arrival that none was available.The villa is spacious, the terrace is lovely, and we still enjoyed our holiday. The host reacted quickly to reported issues and arranged extra cleaning during our stay, allowed late check out for extra fee. We also found three very large cockroaches inside the villa and there was sometimes an unpleasant smell coming from the neighbouring restaurant.Overall, we had a good holiday despite the villa rather than because of it. In its current condition, we would probably not return. However, after a proper renovation, we would happily stay here again, with same host.
