Property Not All As Listing
The property, is as listed, relatively secluded close to the owners house & guest accommodations. Access is via an unmade track, which, can result in the underside of a car hitting the surface. General condition of the property is fair. The listing & images "Private Newly refurbished Villa" bears little comparison. No fenced garden but made up with chicken wire and stakes, or not at all. The pool area shows sun beds with padded covers under fixed sunshade, there are no cushions or sunshade, just a hole. The outside dining area shows a quality table and 4 chairs & sun shade. None of these remain, there is a plastic table and4 metal/plastic woven chairs, 2 of which are broken. Rustic bench & table in the garden are no longer there. Apart from a plastic (damaged) beach parasol, the size of an umbrella, there is no shade outside most of the day. The pool, on arrival had decomposing leaf debris on the base, was never cleared or serviced over the entire duration of 10 days, despite being advised it would be. Great views from the property, but not as the image on the listing.. Hot/Cold water is freely available ( hot water very hot) Kitchen is basic in condition and provision of crockery & cutlery. Oven not used due to its general cleanliness. Smart TV worked fine. Fridge worked fine but lacking a number of shelves which made it difficult to utilise fully. The property, over the 10 days, was not serviced inline with the listing that "bedding is replaced weekly" towels also stayed with us throughout (washed by us) Wrought iron headboards to the bedrooms, together with the period wooden wardrobes & panelled doors have been replaced with white chipboard self assembly storage units (IKEA) no clothes hanging facility, plain flush bedroom doors have replace the character furnishings as shown on the listing . Free wireless internet & 4G phone signal is available. On the safety side for guests, the listing states there is a fire detector in the kitchen, there is not. Emergency exit route, there is not, Fire extinguisher was last serviced 2016 which is a great concern. Must have been great some years ago but unfortunately misrepresented for what is now is.
