Could be great but really let down by some basics
Good points:
The property is spacious and could comfortably fit 6 people (though there is only one bathroom). It is well equipped with electrical equipment including a dishwasher, a washing machine, 2 up to date televisions, WIFI and a music system.
The property is convenient for the local town (only 10 minutes walk from centre and supermarket) and 10 minutes to the local beach by car.
It is pleasantly situated and has a reasonable outlook ( interrupted by train lines) and you are able to see the sea in the distance.
There is lots of some crockery, but not enough of others.
The villa is clean and well stocked with cleaning products for your use.
Bad points:
1. We found it unusual that there was no information booklet in the villa and as such we were clueless as to where to leave the rubbish, what to recycle, opening times of shops etc etc.
2. We were handed 13 keys to the property, with no indication of which key unlocked which door. A colour coded system in an information booklet could solve this. Plus a can of WD40 to in the cupboard to prevent keys from getting stuck in the locks and the locks opening smoothly every time.
3. Having a cup to drink coffee from that was not chipped in several places. Ikea sell tough non offensive, not expensive replacements.
4. Bins, there were two bins in the whole property: one in the kitchen with no lid and a small flip top bin in the bathroom. How much does it cost to replace a plastic bin?
5. The pool is positioned at the bottom of the driveway and as such it collects the debris blown down the drive. We were more than happy to fish out leaves etc. from the pool, but we were rather concerned that there seemed to be no-one checking chemicals, removing dirt from the bottom of the pool or green algae collecting around the edges.
6. We found the property uncomfortably hot and stuffy at night despite shutting the shutters during the day and opening everything up at night to try to get a breeze going through the house. A simple electric fan in each bedroom would help this.
