attractive villa with lovely decor and beautiful garden
The house was about 50 years old and beautifully designed but a bit shabby and dusty - it could use a simple coat of paint and a thorough dusting of the louvres etc. Gorgeous garden and lovely pool. A fabulous kitchen though we had to replace the pedal bin. We were surprised there was no booklet or guide to the house, describing the garbage disposal regime, how to use the appliances and tv, such as we have had in all our other VRBO properties. The real negative was that the good supermarket was 50 minutes away, so we had to spend a lot of time in the car driving to and from Genipa on narrow, winding roads. There was no beach we could walk to, but we did not mind too much as we enjoyed the pool a lot. I adored the Pleyel upright piano and was able to practice for many hours, much to my delight.
Well furnished, landscaped and well supplied property in a breathtaking setting overlooking the sea! Accommodations are comfortable and all sorts of pool and swimming gear available. What we needed: instructions for use of appliances as none provided. Problems with the stay: no internet service until the 4th day of our stay. Rooms that went dark and could not be relit. Door handle that locked one guest in the bathroom until rescued. Dryer that didnât dry. Repairs on âisland timeâ. The 4 turtles were our garbage disposal and we became quite fond of feeding them, a unique twist I havenât come across previously. It is a charming property but we are used to more prompt attention when problems arise. 3 âscreenagersâ without internet access is a crisis and we spent to get cellular access each day until the repair half into our stay. Door knobs falling off and other minor aggravations dropped my rating to 4 stars.
