So, five of us stayed here for a week.
First the negatives (few and far between I may add!) ....
We did not receive any welcome pack. When we arrived, there were two bottles of sparkling wine left for us in the fridge which was a nice gesture, however I do not drink alcohol, and we probably would have appreciated some water and milk to make a cup of tea , and a packet of biscuits more I think .
We did find a couple of dirty forks and plates that seemed to have been missed , but not really a major issue - we were quite capable of washing up.
There were no condiments whatsoever. Having stayed in villas previously, we have found generally that there is salt and pepper provided(maybe it was there and we couldn't find it?) and the odd bottle of cooking oil. There was nothing there at all - This isn't a deal breaker as obviously there is no onus to provide suchlike- but we have always had condiments at least previously .
There is no air conditioning in the living area- only in the bedrooms......again, not a deal breaker as we didn't spend a lot of time inside during the day
The actual villa itself is beautiful- it just has a really lovely vibe about it. There are piles of books that you could read if you chose and the TV has ALL the UK channels which was great ! We had an issue with the dishwasher, but this was resolved almost immediately so no complaints there . The beds were super comfy and the outside areas plentiful.
It took us about 20 minutes to walk to town so ideally located and a decent supermarket was within walking distance.
Stuart the Manager was a legend ! We could not work the barbecue (us being thick!) and he was there within the hour to show us how to do it. He was also really responsive and friendly. Nikki, the owner was also really lovely and I think the fact that both were reliable and contactable makes a massive difference when you are choosing a villa to book.
I actually cant really fault the villa, or the process of booking and contact etc. It IS in a residential area, so this must be considered when booking, as we did upset the neighbours one day through being loud.....but I don't think the neighbours were unfriendly or particularly picky- and that day we were particularly loud so I think a complaint was probably well founded. Nikki the owner was even very diplomatic and lovely about that !
Moraira is a beautiful and this was a beautiful villa. We loved our stay there.
Thank you
