Schönes Haus mit einigen Mängeln
Bei Ankunft nicht gereinigt. (Wurde dann alle 3 Tage gereinigt.) Im Resort war der Check-In schlecht organisiert. Schimmel im ganzen Haus an nahezu allen Wänden!!! Wasserkocher defekt. Oberes Bad ohne Waschbecken. Oberes Bad steht nach dem Duschen unter Wasser. Pool-Umwälzanlage absolut laut. Zu wenig Geschirr. Direkt gegenüber Schafe und Ziegen mit Geruch. Hausbetreuer sehr freundlich, kann aber an den Mängeln nichts ändern (Geschirr wurde nachgereicht).

Super vacances en familles
Nous avons passé une très belle semaine de vacances en famille en Crête en famille dans cette Villa. Très belle Villa, bien située (à 5 minutes en voiture du petit village de Bali) et personnel aux petits soins. Un grand merci au gérant de la Villa ainsi qu'à la réceptionniste qui ont tous deux été d’une très grande gentillesse et efficacité lors de nos demandes. Le nettoyage lors de notre arrivé laissait un peu à désirer mais ensuite durant la semaine, la femme de ménage est passé très régulièrement et tout était fait nickel. J’ai également pu tester plusieurs fois le fitness de l’hôtel (infrastructure dont nous avons également accès avec la Villa) et j'ai été agréablement surpris par la taille et les équipements. Conclusion: Je recommande cette Villa si vous souhaitez passer un agréable séjour au calme et proche de la mer (en voiture).

Empfehlenswert
Die Betreuung durch den Roomservice war sehr Angenehm, sie umsorgte unseren Soh rührend. Der Manager war ebenfalls sehr zuvorkommend und hatt sich sehr um uns Bemüht. Die Villa bietet den Beschriebenen Komfort mit sämtlichen vorher erwähnten Vor und Nachteilen. Wir würden wieder gehen aber nächstes mal in die Villa Mandarini. Danke für die schöne Zeit.
