Villamartin Paradise

The property was in a good location and we enjoyed the area around us. The separate accommodation downstairs was useful and also has its own aircon control. The 2 fridges was also very useful. We found paying for the air con made us much more considerate about using it and we didn’t waste energy, so quite liked that. The air on wasn’t overly expensive if you were sensible and used it as Alan advised.

The property could be better equipped - though we were provided with an extra parasol, cutlery and glasses - nothing was too much trouble for Alan, who was great to deal with. The cleanliness was poor and there was no mid stay clean which we have never experienced before. The bed sheets and towels are old and tired. We felt the lack of a balcony/balustrade on the front terrace makes it dangerous and we were very wary of someone falling off the edge so we were glad we didn’t have young children with us. The bbq was too small to feed 10 people that we only used it once for a light lunch. The rooftop terrace is not put to good use as it’s not equipped -the villa has so much potential to be exceptional for people to stay. I’ve marked it higher purely because of the fab service from Alan but unfortunately I don’t think we would book it again for these reasons as it is not cheap!
