We had a fabulous time. Hosts were terrific and very accommodating. We requested a few kitchen items and they arrived very quickly. The villa was beautiful, very comfortable and relaxing. The outdoor patio area was also used and was relaxing. One of the beaches was very close - 2-3 min walk. We would absolutely return and hope we can stay in the same Villa again.
