Arriving, meeting Carmelina and the friendliness of the local people. Beautiful location.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Check on the inventory thoroughly before booking.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?

Yes - The local community benefited from increased spending at the local shop and restaurant. Impact on the environment was quite high due to vehicle usage - accomm 4 km away from nearest village.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

Good location for accommodation but spoilt by poor equipment – air conditioning/kitchen appliances and utensils/lack of cleanliness/no change of bed linen or towels during our weeks stay/no cleaning provided during our stay. Poor electricity supply tripping fuses regularly/water supply interrupted twice due to problems on site.

Read the operator's response here:

When quoting rental price only final cleaning is included. In the property there’s an information file, where it states that we are happy to provide midweek cleaning and change of linen upon request. We don’t automatically provide this service due to shortage of water in the area and also don’t want to disturb the guests during their stay. All the problems re cleaning, water and air conditioning have been addressed. These problems occurred due to the owners personal guests staying at the villa. We will do our utmost to make sure that these problems do not happen again. The villa is located in the countryside there's no public transport to the area but there’s a taxi service available in the village at extra cost.
