Ok, the positives about this villa were: 1. Quiet area 2. The front sitting area and rear outside areas were good 3. The main double bed was comfortable 4. Villa was clean and functional 5. Water was hot 6. They provided paper coffee filters
The downsides of this unloved property are almost too numerous to mention: 1. We were wrong entry number for car gate to enter urbanisation but luckily someone let us through the locked car gate 2. We could not get the key out of the key box for villa 58 (villa 58 on our booking form) so called local agent (but no reply!) 3. We noticed that someone was living in villa 58!! 4. We had to call Clickstay in UK who managed to get local agent. We then told we in villa 28 not 58! A poor start. 5. No tea towels provided 6. No welcome pack at all - not even water in fridge 7. Unlike any other villa we have stayed in zero salt, pepper, oilive oil...the place was bare 8. Blue blinds front door tatty and need replaced 9. Main toilet seat loose / broken 10. Air con did not work (was needed for heat) so I had to go buy new batteries for air con! Batteries were dead 11. Cooker hood only 1 light works 12. batteries on DVD gone too - had to buy some 13. DVD player but not 1 DVD supplied 14. Main lighting living room brutal - needs a table lamp 15. Safe locked shut so could not use it
16. Cold leather sofa with no throw or cushions - continuing the unloved austerity feeling 17. Wooden sunbeds outside spilt and rusting and have seen better days 18. No cushions for wooden seats in back garden 19. No directions to communal bins nor did we find them 20. On villa holidays there is usually a book of helpful local information but this place, as you would now expect, had zero (taxi numbers, good places to eat, trips etc). 21. Stay here for 2 weeks and you get cleaning and new towels on day 8 - we stayed for 1 week so no cleaning 22. Big notice syaing 'do not clean towels in supplied washing machine'. Nice. 23. The wif fi never worked and big notice on router saying NO REBOOT! If you stay here you will need to use your own 4G.
The local agent who came to take our passport numbers said he could not speak English which makes it hard to get your 23 points of contention across.
If we had paid 600 euros for the week I'd say 'fair enough' but we paid for 5* and got 2* at best in this unloved and uncared for stark villa. Right from the beginning and the villa number mix up we seemed onto a real loser - and that is what we got.
