Overall, it's a property with stunning potential. The views show stopping, and the local village and swimming holes are super charming. It's a big villa, with a lot of room and charm, but some needs for upgrading.
Pros: The pool, pool loungers and location are superb. There are really good restaurants and cafes both 15 mins up or down the hill from the villa! It's spacious with 3 good sized bathrooms and a separate laundry room with full size washer and dryer. The TV and internet worked great if no power issues. Amore and the reps renting this property were very responsive and supportive, esp Giada and Teresa, the housekeeper.
Cons: The ants outside made eating al fresco not possible, and we had to battle to keep them from over running the inside. But the villa is built on a hill speckled with lemon and olive trees so hard not to have these invaders. The beds are definitely not the most comfortable, and the kitchen utensils and pans could use some massive updating.
We had a pretty significant power issue while there that caused outages and impacted ability to run AC during a heat wave. While this was truly unlucky, again the Amore reps were very responsive and understanding and supportive. They have assured us the power issue has been resolved. They were also very helpful in trying to abate the ant issue.
I would love to give this property another go in late September, when the temps wouldn't be so boiling and maybe the ants will have calmed down.
