On arrival to pick up the keys from a restaurant, we were handed them and then the waiter and the owner turned back to what they were doing, left to our own devices to find the property and not wished a warm stay.
I had to wash plates glasses cutlery again as it is the last tenants responsibility to clean them properly and not the cleaners. Many light switches and plugs do not work, it’s fun to plug your charger into every single one while you figure out which one works. A parking space is offered which is great however your flat is no where near the parking space, so it’s a pleasure to carry shopping bags up a steep hill to the flat.
One of the sliding doors and two sliding windows do not lock, something I think the owners are aware of and that’s why they Heavily insist on closing the shutters and grates on each window for security.
The rental company is good at responding through text, not email and not in emergency’s when tried calling when our electricity went out from the storm , no body answered for an hour. None the less, when I got a hold of them they promptly sent someone to fix it.
The washing machine door is an inch off it’s hinges so you need to lift it and then close it and this should be written next to the machine otherwise you can end up not getting any washing done.
Be aware that sprinklers come on at 19 and stay on for 30 minutes, and be sure to take your laundry or anything else inside at this point To avoid having to dry it twice. Something the rental company should have mentioned in the welcome pack.
Other than this. The flat has a great location with a beautiful view. Not each flat has a garden so this is lovely too. As you come out of the residential property there are straight roads good for running. A small supermarket is in walking distance so is the centre of Villefranche. The flat provides you with towels, bedding, extra pillows, extra blankets, a bottle of rose and alcoholic gel on arrival.
We enjoyed our stay here.
