This villa is really set up for short stays, rather than the 5 weeks we spent there. For short stays the facilities would be adequate but the weird kitchenette layout makes cooking and, especially washing up, difficult. The main bedroom lacks hanging space for dresses - that part may be the one padlocked by the owners - and the chest of drawers is unusable, being wedged behind the sliding wardrobe doors! Very odd! Again, this might not trouble short stay vacationers. There were some issues with appliances and changes of linens, but Brendan, the manager, responded to these promptly and efficiently. We couldn’t get the TV to work so gave up and enjoyed reading and listening to music instead. The complex itself is beautifully maintained, with stunning orange trees and landscaped gardens. The outdoor pools look very inviting but were too cold to use in January. The gym has excellent equipment but the aircon didn’t work, despite pleas to the Reserva reception. This villa is located around 15 minutes fast walk from the beach , with numerous beach bars (our favourite is Simbad for excellent food and drink and fab live music on Sundays - Duo Zingo are amazing!). Two supermarkets are a very short walk away from the villa and sell pretty much everything you could want but are, inevitably, dearer than Aldi or Lidl, both of which are a short drive away.
All in all, then, we enjoyed the location and sunny terraces of the villa but we would recommend it only for short stays.
