Disappointing – not the luxury villa advertised
We booked this villa expecting a luxury property based on the listing and photos, but unfortunately the reality did not match our expectations. Our main concern was cleanliness. There was visible dust throughout, food stains in the kitchen, dirty skirting boards, hairs/dust in corners and around furniture, and the sofas were very dirty. The villa also needed maintenance, with unfinished plaster on ceilings, cracks in the kitchen worktop and several areas looking tired and in need of repair. It certainly did not have a luxury feel. There were also ants in one bedroom, a leaking shower head and low water pressure in the master bathroom, and virtually no pressure from the downstairs bathroom tap. Surprisingly, despite TVs in every bedroom, there was no TV in the main lounge. The kitchen was well equipped, which was a positive. We didn't use the pool or garden as neither felt clean or inviting. The pool had leaves and debris, and the loungers and surrounding area needed cleaning. The outdoor space and pool also appeared considerably smaller than portrayed in the photos. We have given 3 stars because the host was very responsive and sent cleaners within an hour of us raising our concerns, which we appreciated. However, many issues required maintenance rather than cleaning.
Overall, we felt the listing and photos gave a misleading impression of the villa's standard, condition and size. In its current condition, we would not recommend.
