The worst thing guests say

In September 2024 one guest found a villa clean but very basic and poorly equipped for a week. In August 2026 a 3-star guest praised the view but listed some downsides, which were not visible in the review text we checked. Older reviews from 2017 to 2021 mention no heating, missing basics such as dish soap, a pool not open as advertised and a slow welcome. A few reviews were from campers.

Insider tips

• Bring your own basics if staying long, since one guest found few supplies on arrival.
• Ask about the heated pool if visiting in spring.
• Sheets and towels may be extra, so ask when booking.
