Mostly clean inside but certain areas were grubby. Outside was covered in dirt.
Spent the first couple of hours of our stay scrubbing dirt from the wardrobes, all outside furniture and patio. Not how we planned to start our holiday.
Large old rug in the wardrobe made the whole bedroom smell unpleasant.
Various fundamental items missing. Indoor broom, corkscrew, remote batteries, sink bowl etc.
Not too big a deal for us to buy new ones, but a bit inconvenient.
When I told the owner about these issues on our return he implied I was lying and became rude.
Poor communication.
On our second day we accidentally snagged the back shutter requiring repair to some slats. I reported this to the representative immediately and was eager to pay for the repair, but nobody came to look at it during our stay. After our return the owner was angry that I did not apologise and of the impression that I only reported this on the last day. This was just not the case as the key holders were aware of the whole situation from the outset.
Hidden charges.
The layout of the lounge was inconvenient as the sofa faces away from the tv so we turned the sofa around and moved the small cupboard. This took maybe a minute or two. Because we didn’t move it back the owner kept the rest of our deposit claiming it cost 20€ to put back.
I tried to argue that this charge was unreasonable, but in his words it was:
“20Euro which u ain’t getting back!! You removed the furniture you Return it to it’s original position how simple & you would have your 20Euro”
Charming.
The owner’s attitude stinks. Almost impossible to communicate with and unable to process the fact that his villa has shortcomings or his cleaners are not up to standard. He even seemed to think I was unreasonable for asking if beach towels were provided.
The key holders however were extremely pleasant to speak to and very understanding of the shutter damage.
Overall the villa is nice with a great view. We did have a lovely holiday there but it was definitely not worth being made to feel so unwelcome, insulted and ripped off.
If you book this place be prepared to clean it, then be charged for the pleasure.
