It was wonderful to be back! Great location, lots of familiar places and faces. But not quite what I remember from our last visit in 2024! The impeccably clean and comfortable house has not aged very well. Broken sun umbrella, infestation of small ants (pharaoh ants?, you need professional service, not ant killer spray from the supermarket!) in the kitchen, washrooms, bedrooms etc. Nasty smell in the ensuite bathrooms (sewer smell, sulphure smell). Dishes, pots and pans had to be scrubbed and washed before use. Oven pan left dirty in the oven (I did not clean it! Still there). The place needs a good, deep cleaning. Refrigerator needs repairs as water leaks to the bottom of the freezer and ice builds up causing water leaks (I took out several large chunks of ice under the bottom drawer to allow the door to properly close). Some of the towels need to be replaced, they have seen better days. Small bottle of shampoo would have been nice for the first day. Should also have basic cleaning supplies provided for guests to cleanup as they go. Nice to have a bottle of local wine, bouquet of flowers and the bottle of olive oil, thank you!In 2024 this place was a great deal, price/value, a definite 10 of 10 rating. From our recent stay in September 2026, I rate it a 7 of 10. Some serious cleaning and fixing should bring it back to its former glory!
