Villa Mala is a beautiful, spacious family home that allows a large group to stay together and enjoy each other's company. The property was clean, well kept and had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!
In general the house was great disappointed bunk beds weren't made up and uncomfortable mattresses on bunks overall cleanliness of house could have been better otherwise great
