The view from this Villa is amazing. The pool and gardens are superb, lots of fruit and olive trees. The garden is really well equipped with sunloungers (2) and a built in seated area near the pool with loads of cushions. You then have a dining area and seating under the covered terrace too. Inside, the Villa is tastefully furnished, very clean and homely. We felt very safe and secure here due to the large electronic gate as we were here with our 3 year old son. We didn’t hire a car as we came for a relaxing 2 weeks but underestimated the distance to the harbour front and castle. It’s over 3km walk right to the front tho all gentle downhill. We walked to the beach several times which is a 10 minutes down hill walk but is a very steep walk back even though it’s less than 1km. We tried a few beach clubs but Peter Pan seemed the best, good food and drinks service etc. There is a supermarket 700m from the house where you get pretty much all you need. The recycling could be clearer as we had to guess what bags to use and where to put them for collection but got there in the end. There are lots of inflatables, floats, snorkels and buckets etc which was really handy.
If you have any queries, the owner Philippe is available by email or phone and is most helpful. He even booked us a table at his favourite seafood restaurant and arranged for the owner to pick us up and drop us back home, great service.
Couldn’t fault the villa at all and already missing that pool and sea view, would definitely hire a car next time though as taxis are non existent in Castellammare.
