The villa was to a very high standard and well equipped. Very spacious with a lovely outdoor pool area. The owners were excellent and always on hand to assist and advise on any query we may have had. The villa is located very close to local amenities. Excellent bakers,butchers and restraunts. Lovely beach only a few minutes walk from the villa. Had such a great relaxing holiday that we have booked again for next year! |
