Lovely villa in a great location; but the difference with this villa is in the standard of service provided by the owner, the little details that made our stay memorable. We have stayed at a number of villas across Europe and the US, but this stands out as having everything set up perfectly for a great holiday experience. Firstly we arrived on a late flight, so the owner provided fresh bread, local ham, cheese, milk, wine etc - all very welcome. Second, the owner provided us with all the usual flyers for the local attractions but also provided us with her own summary of the ten best attractions and an astoundingly useful hand-drawn map that explained the local geography - so simple to do, but we've never come across this elsewhere. Thirdly, a fabulous outside barbecue with charcoal provided. I initially thought I was using left over charcoal from the previous guests, but actually this was just part of the service; this is what I mean by little details making the difference, as usually I find charcoal for the barbecue is an extra, something one has to track down in the local supermarket.
I could go on, but you will get the point that this is a villa where the manager has really thought hard about the total customer experience (not just renting out a great villa in a great place), and in my opinion has got it about spot on.
I'd recommend.
