The villa is spacious and looks reasonably nice at first glance, and the maid herself was a very kind and pleasant person. We had absolutely no issue with her personally. The property has a lot of potential and could be a great villa if it were properly maintained and managed.
I struggle to give this more than 2/5. One of our biggest issues was only finding out after arrival that a female maid actually lives in one of the downstairs rooms. Our group was entirely male and we booked what we understood to be a private villa, so unexpectedly having to share the property with someone affected our privacy and made us uncomfortable. This absolutely should have been disclosed before booking. Her services also cost an additional £25 per day. The Wi-Fi only works properly in the living room and doesn’t reach the upstairs or downstairs bedrooms. The largest upstairs bedroom had no TV remote or door lock, while another bedroom had no internal door handle. Several bedroom and bathroom doors barely close. The air conditioning mostly blows warm air, and we experienced frequent power cuts at night. The downstairs TV randomly turns itself on/off, mutes itself and logs out of streaming services—even after removing the remote batteries—and I have video evidence. The washing machine was broken, most of the living-room curtains were missing, and there was no bidet hose or similar washing facility in the toilet. Although the villa appears clean initially, closer inspection revealed black marks on walls, dirty corners and drains, and even a used razor left in a bath. The downstairs sofas are extremely uncomfortable and sink badly in the middle. The host was also extremely difficult to reach. For the amount paid, there were simply too many issues with maintenance, cleanliness, privacy and management. This was not the private, comfortable villa experience we expected from the listing.
