The villa undoubtedly boasts breathtaking views and a fantastic location, which were the highlights of our stay. However, we were deeply disappointed by the cleanliness of the property, which fell far short of our expectations given the price point and high ratings.Upon arrival, we noticed a significant build-up of dust under beds and sofas, dirty mattresses with a large build up of visible dirt. The outdoor table near the pool also required cleaning multiple times. Additionally, there was a persistent sewage smell in the ground-floor bathroom and master bedroom. These issues made our stay uncomfortable, and the state of the mattresses left us so concerned that we chose to sleep fully clothed, which was far from ideal for a relaxing holiday.We chose not to raise these issues during our stay because we felt they reflected fundamental problems that should have been addressed before our arrival. Addressing them immediately would have disrupted our holiday further and seemed unnecessary, as such issues shouldn’t exist in a property of this standard. Instead, we raised them with the owner afterward in the hope of encouraging improvements for future guests.Unfortunately, the response from the owner was defensive, and while a small refund was offered, it did not adequately reflect the inconvenience we experienced. I was hoping for a better response giving more confidence of a better return visit. I’m afraid we will not return to this property.
