the Jones' family visit

The positives are well equipped comfortable accommodation with excellent cleaning and upkeep from the very helpful site manager. we felt that the statements regarding local services were described incorrectly as they were not as accessible as stated in your brochure. maybe a local map would be of great help..We also thought some extra sunbeds would help as the ones without mattresses were uncomfortable10 beds for 14 guests were not enough. these are meant to be helpful remarks .WE HAD A WONDERFUL HOLIDAY AND WOULD THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND ECO VILLAS

Imperfect perfection

Our stay got off to a rocky start with our group arriving at 4:00 but not being able to check in until 5:30 as the property was still being cleaned/replenished from the previous guests. The owner advised us that 2 of 5 cleaners had not shown up. The 1 1/2 hour checkin process was filled with the owner instructing us condescendingly not to do this, that etc., including not to mix up glasses, cutlery from one unit to the other. When I asked where the outdoor setting on the grass area was she said that was there just for the photos. The grass area was overgrown with weeds and not mowed until Tuesday. We were a group of 20 adults and 2 bubs. We were there for a week. Each unit was provided with only 3 garbage bags, 3 dishwashing tablets and 3 laundry sachets and 3 toilet rolls. Given the property’s main appeal was to be able to make lunch and dinner for the most part of our stay, the aforesaid was clearly inadequate. We had one salad bowl in our unit 4 adults, slightly larger than a breakfast bowl. The property itself is lovely however while it it details that 23 are able to be accommodated this is incorrect. Other than one futon bed, the sofa beds are sofas, not beds. It would accommodate 18. The welcome pack provided by the owner was outstanding and a definite plus. We finished as we started, the owner contacted us to say she would inspect at 10:30 and could cleaners come at 9:30. 3 cleaners, not 5 arrived. Checkout is at 11. A luxurious property but not a 5 star stay.

Dear Fiona, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with other travellers. We are happy to know that you enjoyed your time at the villa & cherished the welcome pack from the owner and the treats provided upon arrival. We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was not as expected & that you had to wait longer for your check-in. Indeed, one of the five residences was still being prepared upon your check-in at 16:00, due to unexpected and unforeseen circumstances. At the same time, the four residences for the part of the group that arrived upon your check-in were perfectly cleaned and ready for you to enjoy right away. In addition, we appreciate you missing the one outdoor sitting area under the olive tree, although the furniture was removed from that specific location as the watering of the grass underneath it would only result in damaging it. As for the grass itself, it is of course mowed regularly when guests are not present, for their better convenience, due to the noise of the mowing machine. A welcome pack is always provided to our guests - courtesy of the owner - and it includes all essentials for the first few days, as per the utmost comfort of our guests. Once our guests have used the provided items, they are more than welcome to restock with whatever they need by visiting the local store. We are also always available for our guests, and we welcome the opportunity to be of further assistance while you are still here. Last but not least, the check-out procedure for you and your loved ones, arranged at 11:00, requires that the host arrives a few minutes earlier to inspect the villa & make sure you have everything you need before you depart & best assist you throughout. We must say we are a bit surprised, as we were under the impression that you had a lovely holiday escape and our villa was of your preference based on our communication during your stay. All in all, we truly value your feedback, as our ultimate goal is to offer our guests an exceptional experience, and they are the ones who make us better every day. We will be thrilled to welcome you back one day & please do not hesitate to personally contact us, as we will be more than happy to help you arrange the perfect stay at the best available price. Travel Regards, ThinkVilla Team.

Kleine Hochzeit

Die Villen sind wirklich schön, allerdings gibt es ein paar Dinge, die in Zukunft geändert werden sollten. Es wäre schön, wenn mehr als nur ein Müllbeutel zum wechseln Vorort wäre. Zumal die Angestellte jeden Tag da war und ohne unsere Einverständnis in die Wohneinheiten gegangen ist. Leider ging in einigen Zimmern weder TV noch Klimaanlage. Ansonsten eine schön Anlage y

Männerausflug

Es war rin toller Aufenthalt Wir waren eine Gruppe von neun Männern. Die Anlage war optimal. Jeder hat ein eigenes Schlafzimmer. In die einzelner Wohnungen konnte man sich zurückziehen. Die Wohnungen waren sehr gut ausgestattet (Küche, Klimaanlagen, mehrere Fernseher usw. Für die Gruppe stand ein großer Platz mit einem Sonnensegel zur Verfügung. Hier konnte man wunderbar gemeinsam Frühstücken,Grillen und Feiern. Am schönen Pool gab es ausreichend Liegen und Sonnenschirme. Ein tolle Finca, von der alle begeistert waren.

Dear Dirk, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience of your recent stay with us. We are thrilled to hear that your group had a great time at our complex. It's fantastic to know that everyone enjoyed having their own bedrooms and that the rooms were well-equipped with everything you needed, including kitchens, air conditioning, and TVs. The large area with the awning sounds perfect for group gatherings, whether it was for breakfast, barbecues, or celebrations. We're glad you made good use of it! It's also wonderful to hear that you found the pool area with loungers and parasols to be relaxing and enjoyable. We greatly appreciate your kind words and recommendation. It was our pleasure to host your group, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future. Travel Regards, ThinkVilla Team

Perfekt für Workation

Unsere Firma war drei Wochen in der Villa. Jede Woche kam eine neue Gruppe. Es hat alles super geklappt. Alle Absprachen haben gut funktioniert. Es war kein Problem jede Woche eine Grundreinigung und neue Bettwäsche zu erhalten. Super Service. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.
