A homely upmarket villa
This was one of those properties where the actual experience exceeded expectations generated from marketing photographs. And there was nothing wrong with those photos, it's just that homeliness has to be felt rather than seen.
Every member of our party had nothing but praise for the property.
Immediately, I walked through the door, I felt completely at home: no sense of imposing on someone else's space; the house just said, 'Welcome!'
The property is very well maintained and presented. The appliances were all of a high quality. The gardens and pool were beautifully presented.
The house is in a gated community, which, for me, is not necessarily an attraction, but in this case it worked very well. On arrival, we all had to show some form of ID, so be prepared.
You can walk to a couple of local shops for small every day necessities. If you want to do a larger shop then you need access to some kind of transportation. We hired a maxi taxi for our day trips and picked up our supplies at the end, on the way home. This worked well for us.
There are a few housekeeping rules, nothing too onerous. It would have been better if these were communicated in written form, rather than being given verbally on arrival. These together with local advice and contact for housekeeper, medical servives, taxis, eateries, etc. could have been made available in a guest folder.
Overall, a wonderful highly recommended villa. I just hope that whenever we come back we can still get a booking.
