Villa Monteforno

Just to say thankyou to Pedro for his lovely villa, it was in a great location and the wonderful peace and serenity there was amazing and the view of the golf course outside was a picture. Very clean and practical will be back again.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful 2 weeks at the villa, we had lots of fun in the pool which is a very good size. The rooms are very spacious too. There are bars and a supermarket within walking distance which was nice, the Marina and beaches were within walking distance.
The description given for the Villa was accurate, I very much look forward to visiting again
Thank you

We had a fantastic stay. Kids loved the pool, lovely quiet area, everything was perfect.

The villa is fantastic. I can't find one negative about the property. Rooms massive, view tremendous, air con wonderful, pool beautiful. Pedro the owner is super helpful! Will definitely be going back. Ooo and the table tennis table is top fun.

Absolutely perfect villa, stunning views of golf course. Such a peaceful area, villa had everything we needed and we found it very clean and modern.
Such a great location only 10 min drive to marina, also a few lovely places to eat and drink in walking distance.
WiFi would have been an extra bonus, hopefully that could be added in the future.
Only down side is that we had to come home :-(.
When we return we would definitely rebook this villa again.
Thank you so much.

The area is lovey but we had a few issues with the villa.

On arrival, we found:
- 1 of the 3 bedrooms did not have the bed made
- the shower tray in the main bedroom en suite was blocked and filled up.

...we contacted Pedro who quickly dealt with these the next day (but we needed to be in to allow the maintenance guy in).

- then the air con unit in 1 of the bedrooms had issues. Loud noises coming from it and the filters were frozen. 3 visits from the local maintenance guy and 1 from the air con company later and we abandoned use of it so we weren’t hassled with managing property maintenance anymore.

Pedro was responsive but made it clear he lives and works 350 miles away so he relies on local support. He simply commented that hardware can fail. While I agree with this, we are yet to have an apology for the hassle nor the problems. We don’t go on holiday to manage someone else’s maintenance!

The villa is in need of some upgrade and is “tired” - the sofas in the lounge are old and need replacement, cracked tiles in bathrooms, chipped tiles around pool and overall the furnishings need upgrading.

On cleanliness- the house was, on the surface, reasonably clean although some areas had layers of dust and there was a general smell of dampness / uncleanliness throughout the villa. It didn’t smell clean on arrival.

The garden and pool are nice.

We won’t be back to this villa but will certainly return to the area.

As it is the first time in 6 years that Villa Monteforno is rated less than 4 stars, a reply is due.

One bed was not made because I always forward the guest´s reservation to the management and although only 2 adults and one child were booked a third adult checked-in. No problem (up to 6 guests), but this was the reason.

The shower tray hides the dirt and despite instructions to the maintenance company sometimes it gets clogged, but it was fixed the same day.

I apologized for the inconvenience.

A compliment to all the other understanding guests who here and there may have endured similar unpredictable hassles.
