Stunning views!
We have just spent a wonderful week at this property. Stunning views over the mountains and a lovely villa with plenty of space. Each bedroom has a fan so when it gets hot you had some relief. It’s tempting to open all the doors and shutters, don’t! It helps to keep the villa cool.
The pool was a blessing in the heat! Warning though to parents of small children, the pool slopes down almost straight away and goes to 1.9m. As a 5ft lady, I couldn’t touch the floor for 2 thirds of the pool. The gardener came by twice on our stay but was gone by 8 am. The pool is only cleaned once and he came at 6 am on the morning we left, so you will need to skim the pool yourself each day as the pool is surrounded by plants and trees.
The insect life around the pool was amazing! Butterflies, dragonflies and bees were wonderful to watch! There is however a lot of wasps around which on day one worried us a little but they completely left us alone! All they wanted was a quick drink from the pool and they were gone.
Mosquitoes however were rife in the early mornings and in the evenings which meant sitting outside wasn’t an option even when using bug spray and citronella candles. Please bring bite cream and antihistamines.
Sunbed cushions are kept in the garage, this isn’t mentioned anywhere and they were quite dusty like they hadn’t been used for awhile.
The roads to the property are used as a rally stage! Please take them slowly! They are quite narrow and some are single tracks.
