Beautiful villa; just missing the mark for perfection
We all absolutely LOVED this villa! Exactly what we needed with mixed family groups. The Positives:
Very spacious & comfortable with the added leisure facilities (pool & ping pong) such a bonus. Our bed was SO comfortable, and the linens lovely. Fans in each room plus air con if required.
The pool & garden are stunning, as well as being private and secure.
Close enough to coastline for a lovely walk, and Uber taxis generally cheap & available to get to more built up areas/beaches if you don’t want to walk more than a few kms (best beaches not near villa, but some mega restaurants)!
The property management were brilliant; barring the pool heating issue I couldn’t fault them. Very responsive & very helpful.
The negatives:
Take your own pool towels! This wasn’t stated at all, and didn’t find anywhere to buy any locally.
Take your own washing up/cleaning/hand washing materials. I ordered some with our shop that were taken off as “provided” but none were provided.
Pool heating/take a thermometer- we paid for heating for the week but not having been before we weren’t sure how warm it should be. Turns out the heater was broken, replaced on last full day and morning of departure was like a bath. Still charged for 6 days (my own fault for not realising the pool temperature was in fact colder than the sea, but upsetting nonetheless).
The built in bbq isn’t there anymore sadly; we had a dirty gas one instead.
Pool spa & wooden decking- has some very sharp edges the kids cut their feet on. Not something we worried about overly but others might (also worth taking photos on arrival in case; we didn’t, but got worried when the property manager was taking photos prior to our departure!)

Amazing villa some updating required
This villa is absolutely perfect for large groups and is able to hold 10 people comfortably. However, there were some issues that need to be resolved. We were unable to have access to the villa until 4pm on the day of arrival which is quite late, we arrived to be told that it was not ready and were unable to gain access until 5:30pm. The property should have been cleaned after one week, the cleaners did not turn up until 5:30pm on the second Monday, only 4 nights before our departure. The refrigerator was inadequate for the potential number of people advertised to stay in the property, it was far too small leaving an insufficient amount of room for food and drinks to be stored. This was a problem for us as we spent a lot of time by the pool. We chose this property for the amazing garden and pool area which did not disappoint, it is stunning but lack of sun umbrellas was a problem there was one to share between 11 sun beds. I feel that if the above issues can be resolved this property would make the perfect holiday destination.

Fantastic modern villa
Had a great week at the villa, which is in a nice quiet area, everything was perfect, Seashell staff were very helpful, beach 10 min walk, with a few bars and restaurants, no shops in walking distance, would recommend a car, or using the very efficient "Cheekylittlemonkeys" taxi firm (a must!).
My only criticism is that you cannot have access to the villa until 4pm (which is on the website - but you are not reminded of this at any other stage of the correspondence - you can drop off your cases) so an early flight isn't much use!
All in all a fantastic villa, with everything you would want!

Toller Urlaub im tollen Haus
Das Haus ist tatsächlich noch etwas schöner und besser, als auf den Bildern zu sehen. Nette und unkomplizierte Betreuung vor Ort von der Familie Seashell. Wir hatten nichts zu bemängeln und hatten eine sehr schöne und erholsame Woche in dem Haus. Wir machen einmal im Jahr mit befreundeten Pärchen Urlaub in Villen in Europa und diese war bisher unsere beste Wahl. Absolut weiter zu empfehlen. Eine Besonderheit war, dass alle Schlafzimmer und Bäder ungefähr gleichgroß und gut ausgestattet sind. Da gibt es keine Diskussionen um das beste Zimmer.
