We searched and searched for the right house to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary & multiple special events with some of our great friends. It was down to 5, then 3 & they were all so nice but we decided on Villa Aarte!!! An added bonus with Aarte, it had a hot tub, which sealed the deal as my husband has a bad back and that was going to really be helpful to him. Villa Aarte was beautiful & perfect for us and our guests. The decor was exquisite and the location & views were amazing! The house was clean, well-equipped & ready for our stay upon arrival. The outdoor entertainment space was beautiful & being on the canal we were able to fish, catch some rays & just RELAX! Again, PERFECT! All the beds were very comfortable and OMG the five recliners in the main living space, were extremely comfortable.(I would love to know what brand they are). They absorbed you with comfort! We would highly recommend Villa Aarte to others & of course, we'd love to stay there again.
SUGGESTIONS: Hot tub instructions should be placed close to the hot tub where guests can see them. We did not find them until the last day. Hot tub needed service as it would not heat. Our Property manager, Iris, who was so helpful, put a call in for service, but no one ever came and therefore, my hubby never got to use.
Multiple TV remotes made difficult for navigating. Perhaps labeling remotes & instructions would be helpful.
An electric griddle would be nice to add to the kitchen as entertaining a large crowd, it would ease prepping especially breakfasts.
Other than these little things, VILLA AARTE WAS PERFECT! & EVERYONE ENJOYED THEIR STAY WITH US AND WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!
