An excellent villa

Jim was a fantastic host providing other accommodation when we had early/late flights. Also helped us out big time with transport for the full weekend. 13 of us stayed at this Villa for a stag do and it was perfect. Pictures don’t do it justice and great location for strip and old town.

Great villa & Fab location

Loved our stay was a perfect sized villa for a hen party of x18 girls and Jim was extremely helpful if we had any questions. The villa is located in a great location, right in the middle of the strip and the old town. It was about a 10 min walk to the strip and probably similar time to the old town the other way which was perfect for us. It had everything we needed, would definitely reccommend! Thanks Again! Ellie

Amazing stay!!

We stayed in this villa for my sisters hen do, there were 16 of us all together and we had a fab time! The location of the villa was ideal, short walk to the strip and short taxi ride to the old town but also walkable. The pool are was great, plenty sun beds and sun all day long. Jim was very easy to get in touch with if we had any questions and also booked taxis with tiago which was an excellent service. I would definitely recommend booking with Jim and staying in one of his villas! 10/10

Brilliant stay at Villa Bella

I booked for a stag party of 17 to stay in Villa Bella and we could not have been happier. The villa was a perfect size for our group with a great pool area. The villa is a 5 minute walk from some great local beach bars and mini markets and a quick walk to the strip and old town. A couple of the doors had some issues locking, however a sliding gate could be pulled across and locked to provide security when leaving the villa. Jim was the perfect host, quickly responding to any queries or requests we had and even booked our airport transfers for us and was available around the clock. Would definitely recommend this villa to any larger parties!

This villa is in an amazing location. Right in the middle between the old town and the new town/the strip, with a roughly 10 minutes walk to both. Clear instructions were received from Jim on how to access the keys and enter the property.There are lots of bedrooms and bathrooms to suit a large group of people.The downside was the problems we had with the electrics. We were a family group of 16, aged from a baby up to 40 and wanted to use the villa to cook some meals rather than eat out every day. The kitchen couldn’t handle it. Using more than one appliance at the same time, caused the electrics to blow every time. This included the oven, hobs and dishwasher. I messaged the owner twice and got no response. The dishwasher had considerable wear and tear, so you couldn’t load things on the top shelf and the bottom shelf struggled to sit on the rail. It was therefore difficult to cook meals and involved continuously running up and down the stairs to reset the fuse box. There was only one plug which even meant not being able to work the toaster and kettle at the same time (although minor)There were other signs of wear and tear that should probably be addressed for future visitors. For example, the very squeaky door, which was a problem for the baby sleeping in the room next to it, the dishwasher as previously mentioned and the window hanging off the hinge in the top bedroom. I appreciate it is difficult if the property is mainly used by hen/stags/party groups.

Villa is in an ideal location,10 minute walk from either the strip or the old town.No problems accessing the villa and Jim responded quite quickly when i messaged.All bedrooms were very large and the pool area was lovely.Only downsides was the electric kept tripping off quite alot,one evening i counted 14 times we had to go switch it back on and only half of our group were there that night...nothing on apart from a few lights.Only one plug in the kitchen so you couldnt boil the kettle and do toast at the same time.Not many sockets or mirrors throughout the villa and some of the draws were broke in the bedrooms.The written lay out of the villa is incorrect aswell,we decided on who was having what bedroom based on the description but had to change that on arrival..there is no en-suite on the bottom floor and no other kitchen on the middle floor.Other than that its a relatively decent villa which is quite close to shops and places to eat.

Great for stag party

We were a group of 11 on a stag trip, and we found it great value for money. Several of the rooms were very spacious and a couple of us could share quite comfortably. We did encounter a couple of issues with the hot water, but the host responded promptly and was quick to address them.

We stayed in this property all 21 of us for my sisters hen party back at the start of June.Honestly couldn’t have asked for any better. The property was amazing and the pictures don’t do it any justice it was clean. The electricity did keep tripping but that was expected when there was so many of us.Jim was absolutely brilliant. Anything needed before or during our visit he was easy to get in contact with.

Family Holiday

The Villa was in a great location between the Strip and the Old Town and the beach. The Villa was clean and had plenty of plates/cups glasses etc etc. This was myself, hubby our 5 children and 8 grandchildren, plus 2 of the children's friends, so 21 in total. Rooms in general were as stated on the room plans, but some rooms had 3 beds where I was expecting 2 and the downstairs room listed as having a double bed and double futon, but only a double bed so we had to re-configure sleeping arrangements that we had planned out before arriving to enable it to work for each family. Our overall biggest concern was the electricity kept tripping, ie if the oven was on to warm a pizza and someone put the kettle on, it would trip, this was several times per day, we did report it but didn't really get any assistance with this during our stay, we kinda worked out where the fuse box was and had someone keep running upstairs to put the electric back on, although this didn't ruin our holiday, for a villa housing 22, you would expect to have a constant electric flow and was a bit annoying. Pool area very nice. Sheets and towels changed during the week and as stated earlier the location is perfect.
