We arrived at midnight and were greeted at the gates by Jim and Jean who look after the villa. They were very welcoming and appeared alternate days to water the shrubs and flowers. While they were on the grounds they spoke with us and encouraged us to phone their mobiles at any time should we have any problems or queries (which we didn't). There was a red book in the villa with local information eg doctors, hospitals, taxis, restaurants, supermarkets etc.
The whole villa was clean and very well equipped. Upon our arrival there were two large bottles of drinking water and there was washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing tablets, tea towels, dishcloths, cleaning and insect sprays. All 5 toilets had tissue paper. It was a nice touch that we could shop at our leisure to replace anything that we used. There were plenty of glasses, cutlery and plates - some plastic to be used outside.
All the bedrooms had comfortable beds and good quality bed linen. There were insect grids on all the bedroom windows.
The swimming pool and surrounding area were kept very clean. There were several terraces around the grounds that we could sit and use. One terrace, at the back of the villa, provided a washing line, pegs and airer so that we didn't have to watch our washing drying while we sat around the pool or outdoor dining area. The BBQ worked very well and there was a sink and drainer next to it which was very handy.
Both snooker and pool could be played in the games room, along with darts. Our children enjoyed playing on the football table. Even beach towels were provided. All equipment was of very good quality.
A car was really necessary staying at this villa. However, we also hired taxis that were punctual, reasonably priced and all the drivers were polite and helpful. We used them to go to the local beaches, supermarkets and restaurants - all of which we enjoyed.
Our son and wife took their young children to the local waterpark (10 mins car ride) twice as they all enjoyed it so much. It was very child friendly, safe and reasonably priced. They brought a four month old baby with them and the villa provided a high quality cot, playpen and stairgate.
Our daughter had a beach wedding twenty minutes from the villa. Everything was organised very well and all the guests had a brilliant day.
We could highly recommend this holiday villa and local amenities to everyone.
