I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel it's important to share our experience. We booked Villa Monica expecting a peaceful and private getaway, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations.One of the biggest issues was that four gardeners arrived at 7am and stayed well into the afternoon, completely taking over the garden and pool area, making it impossible for us to use the outdoor space, which was one of reasons we chose this villa. When I raised the issue with Monica, she explained the work had been scheduled and couldn’t be changed, but there was no effort to make up for the disruption. I asked about a partial refund or a late checkout to make up for the inconvenience but neither was accommodated in a practical or helpful way. Then, on our last morning, the cleaner arrived at 7am to start cleaning the garden and stayed until we checked out — and again, we weren’t able to use the pool or outside area.On top of that, the villa itself was not very clean. It felt damp, and there was visible black mould in both the bedrooms and living room. I actually couldn’t sleep in either of the main bedrooms because it disturbed my asthma. The towels and sheets also didn’t feel fresh or properly cleaned.Overall, this stay felt far below the standard we were promised. We expected a private, comfortable space — not to be disrupted by workers and deal with cleanliness and health concerns. I wouldn’t recommend Villa Monica unless some serious improvements are made.
