Reluctantly returned from a two-week break with our family and have had a great time. Nicolas and Sofia’s villa is well appointed (sun all day long) and comfortable and has mostly everything you could wish for.
It was initially hard to find and I’d recommend printing off the details if you don’t have a roaming package to use maps, but luckily we arrived as the cleaners were leaving!
The villa has lovely spacious rooms and enough seating for 5/6 - although the throws on the sofa kept moving around! Large TV in the lounge/dining area, but lacking in English channels if you need them. No instructions on how to use the tv and satelite, but guessing that younger guests are tech savvy to work it out. Couldn’t get the bluetooth speaker to work and guess that it’s not working.
Beds are softish, which we didn’t mind and never stopped us from having a good nights’ sleep. Ample bathrooms and showers and we had enough water for showers for all 5 of us during the month of Jan without running out. Beach and bathroom towels and bath towels were a good size and soft.
Kitchen good size and well stocked with kettle, toaster, juicer, Krups coffee maker (pods) and filter coffee machine. Good range of cutlery, knives and utensils, glasses and things like colander and tupperware. Could do with a blender for smoothies and for blending soup. Had a cigar cutter but no potato masher! My only gripe is that we were given 1 tea towel and despite asking for more, we only got the one for a 2-week stay.
Outside space was great with small heated pool with cover, lovely passion fruit covered veranda and outside table with chairs. Also handy was a lounging area cleverly made of pallets. The pool has a cover to keep the heat in overnight and when not in use. We came for the first week of two with our son, daughter in law and grandson and used the pool every day. The pool cover is really hard to roll up to open and unroll to close. Jokily in the villa notes it states that it’s easier with 2 people, but in reality it took three of us. The only negative really in our eyes and the owner has said that it will be replaced at some point.
The villa is well-equipped and comfortable and we’ve had a lovely time. If the pool cover was changed, we’d definitely return!
