We stayed at this beautiful Villa for my birthday with my family. It was my husband and I with our 5 kids and my Mom. Patrizia and her family were incredible to work with. From the moment I booked she was so kind and super accommodating. When we arrived we were blown away at how gorgeous the property is. The grounds are so well kept, the pool was definitely our kid’s favourite part and the actual home is perfect. We had plenty of space for our family of 8. The home has everything you would need. You can tell that they put their heart into making this space wonderful for a family vacation. The beach is very close by car and it’s perfect for family’s with little ones. Crystal blue water, shallow and soft white sand. We also asked them for food recommendations and the restaurant was delicious, we went three times. Overall I would highly recommend this Villa I promise you will not be disappointed. Our stay was truly memorable!!!

You were exceptional guests: kind, respectful, and attentive. You treated Villa Kenja with great care, which means a lot to us. We were touched to read that you felt the heart and commitment we put into making the villa welcoming for families: it is the most beautiful recognition we could receive. Knowing that your stay, on the occasion of your birthday, was special fills us with joy. We will always welcome you with open arms whenever you want to return: it will be a pleasure to see you again. Warm regards to you and your whole family.
