Beautiful place but would not recommend to anyone until the issues we experienced were rectified.
The villa is NOT 300m from the sea. From the turn before Sivota Bay, the road up to the villa is 3km, and is atrocious, the hub caps on our car were all scratched up from driving on the roads. Very easy to pop a tire - Jerome said he knows people to come fix it, so must happen a lot.
The villa itself is beautiful. When we got there and were given our tour, numerous issues were pointed out to us that Jerome said would be âfixed the next dayâ. Still upon check out the issues had not been resolved.
- the screen door into the villa was hanging on by some.
duct tape,and was not usable.
- Ants everywhere in the kitchen. Even in the dishwasher on clean dishes. There were also large spiders killed daily throughout the villa. Vaso told us to buy our own bug spray and do it ourselves.
- The dishwasher does not actually clean the dishes.
- There wasnât even salt and pepper in the kitchen for us. - for $1000 CDN per night, we expected at the very least Salt and pepper. We were told to go buy it ourselves which wasnât helpful when we had already picked up food to the villa and the nearest grocery store is a 20 minute drive.
- The water pressure to the two upstairs rooms was often not enough to flush a toilet, and and the wster pressure was so low the showers couldnât be used. They first told us it was an electrical issue they knew of and then said we were out of water and more would be hauled in then next day. The water issue was never resolved.
There was a strong sewer smell coming from the shower drains and those staying in those rooms woke up with headaches. It was so bad three members of our party left the villa to stay elsewhere. Jerome told us they knew of the issue and to close the drains (doesnât keep the smell out, just moves it to another room).
- there is no cell service up on the mountain.
It was a terrible way to end a vacation.
So many beautiful things about this home. It has everything you need. The basement was cool and comfortable with a cinema. We didnât even use it as were to busy enjoying the pool. The Reims are all spacious and en suites are gorgeous. The water pressure is not greasy, but to no fault of the owners and the internet only works in a couple of the rooms. Our teens founds this annoying but it did encourage them to stay in living room more with us. It was a wonderful week and Vasso was just brilliant at communicating when we were there. Thank you!!
