Very friendly reception by the local caretaker, who helped with our first steep
(!) ascend by car to the villa, took suitcases up the stairs and even provided us with some basic groceries, fruit and cold water, soda and a beer in the refridgerator. Super!
The terrain is realy beautiful and well kept. The view is spectacular. The pool is cleaned every morning. A part of the site is overlooked by an other house higher up. This could easily be resolved by placing some shrubberies.
So the outside is pretty good. Insides are a bit of a letdown. One of the toilets water reserve leaked and was not repared after calling it in to Thalia; so unusabe. She responded, but took no action. That was not the first time. She should defenitly up her game.
The door of the refridgerator did not close completely, was dented and a little rusty. The toaster was mallfunctional and turning on the oven caused a power down. So the kitchen was not very good and out-dated. The rest of the furniture was OK. The lighting was bad; 2 bright lamps. The big flatscreen TV was great, with internet but without TV-channels. Wifi was not fast, but otherwise OK. Airco functionality was good. The 2 bathchambers were clean (though with a lot of small flies or moths) but a lttle poor in design (curtains!). The washingmachine is fine though.
All in all we we had a good week, but definitly expected better interior functionality and design. It is really a shame considdering the good potential of this place.
