Lovely views, but not quite as remote as we wanted!
We had a good time in the villa. It was clean and tidy. As a cosy space the villa was reasonably equipped. Our mistake was that we didn't realise that there wasn't a washing machine. The pool was small - but the photos reflected this. What the photos were able to show was that the pool was quite chlorinated. All in all we had a few quiet days. It's worth noting there is a lovely community based swimming pool within a 2 min drive 10 min walk, for those visiting in the summer.
