Thank goodness for the garden
The grounds of the villa are well maintained, pretty and spacious and the pool is a decent size, but unheated. The outdoor eating and sitting area is pleasant but indoors is cramped with several issues needing addressed, such as: downstairs shower was almost unusable - the door kept coming off its hinges (dangerous) and the shower head wasn’t securely attached to the hose, so whenever the water was on it sprayed out of the top. The coffee machine was broken - when used it leaked water over the worktops. We had to fix and clean this before use. The cafetière was covered in mould, and unusable and several other kitchenware items were mouldy and grubby. We cleaned everything before use as it just all felt a bit unclean and past its best. Not what you want to do or feel while on holiday. The upstairs bedrooms are really cramped with sloped ceilings, which made them feel oppressive and were too small for adults. The living area is too small for 6 people and there’s not enough seating for all. The 2-seater sofa looked grubby and the only other seat was a wooden rocking chair. The area feels grim; the surrounding properties have lots of loud (constantly barking) dogs and high gates, walls topped with broken glass - security measures which were a little alarming - not a holiday vibe! The neighbourhood cats were a constant fixture when eating outside - and not only mooched for food but attempted to get inside. The walk to the beach is equally grim and my family (including 2 young children) were flashed at whilst walking past one property, which was a shock not to mention intimidating. A really disappointing experience.
