What a shame about our holiday - we arrived to find a major building site next door and cockroaches (still kicking!) in the kitchen. Not a great start and both totally unexpected. The owner, Evelyn, had not told us about the demolished villa next door which was right in the middle of being rebuilt and when we contacted her during our stay to vent our disappointment she claimed to know nothing about it. She claimed the manager of the property, an English lady called Valerie, had only just told her... Our holiday was completely ruined by being woken early each weekday morning to the sound of drills, diggers and workmen - the excessive building noise carried on throughout the day save for mid-morning and lunch breaks and we were totally overlooked by the workmen whilst in the garden and pool. Worth noting, privacy in these areas will still be lost once the new villa is completed. We had two days with lorries parked outside, engines running and horns blaring to attract workers' attention - several times we had to ask them to move lorries so that we could use villa's garage. The cockroaches that greeted us on arrival were replaced by several more throughout the week in both the kitchen and one of the bedrooms - traps set by the maintenance man did not deter them, I also found one running around the dishwasher late one night which was not a pretty sight. Besides these two major problems we found the villa much older and shabbier than the internet photos portrayed. In our opinion, the manager was not doing her job regarding cleaning (kitchen cupboards, shelves and cutlery drawers were dirty and clumps of hair were found in the master bedroom, garden furniture filthy), the garage was cluttered with disused chairs and other litter, and we had to request a locksmith to adjust locks on the front door and some patio doors. TV & DVD did not work. We had a very disappointing and distressing holiday, a great shame as the villa is well-placed for the beach plus restaurants and bars and would have provided a pleasant holiday had it not been for so many problems. Evelyn, the owner, was not particularly helpful or considerate and offered a paltry 10% refund on our rental as compensation for all the problems - I will never rent from her again.
