An Oasis
There were 5 of us on this trip - 4 adults and one child and we stayed one week in February at the villa.
The photos do not do justice to the space - it is an incredible oasis away from the buzz of the city.
We have ask Chris to put us in touch with the local driver (Cherif) who was lovely and took us in and out of the city and on a day trip. In terms of costs we found this pricey and probably would not do it again (we paid over £500 for him).
The people who look after the villa were really nice and the food was absolutely incredible. Again we had two out of three meals in the villa each day as the ladies took wonderful care of us and every meal they prepared were outstanding.
The villa itself is quite cold so the fire they lit in the huge living room was welcome and we did need to use the air con to warm the rooms for night time.
The rooms are all spacious and big and there was no shortage of wardrobes.
The four reasons we cannot give 5 stars for this villa are as follows:
- the pool really needs TLC. The grills around the pool are broken in many places, the pool itself was not clean to say the least. The cover must be replaced as it’s flakes are all over the water and the pool heating is poor. We paid for the whole week for pool heating and it was still not warm enough by day 6 to be enjoyed, so this all in all was a big letdown for all of us.
- the WiFi- it only works in the big living room and on the terrace. It was mentioned that there is fibre, but we think this could do with more routers or access points. We all had to do a bit of work during the week and this caused some stress.
- the TV room - outdated, no accessible channels and a bit hidden away from the main living space. It’s a good idea, but it needs an update.
- there seems to be no hot water in the evenings, so make sure you showers/ bathed by 6:00pm
We are very grateful for having had the opportunity in this villa and if the above are no issues to you then you will love the calm oasis this villa provides and the ladies will take an amazing care of you!
