    The villa was comfortable and clean. The pool area was excellent. The whole process from booking to leaving was very easy. There was an issue with the front door, we contacted the owner who rectified the situation within 24 hours. Would recommend...

    The location was fabulous. The area was so quiet, we could hear the birds singing daily. It was also very close to the beach and only a short walk into town. It felt very safe for the kids.
