Villa Valia: Traditional Luxurious Residence

The location was exceptional with private access to the sea and the view from the terrace was fabulous.

The equipment was substandard for a supposedly luxury let. Two of the chairs on the terrace ripped and collapsed the people sitting in them and this had clearly happened before as there were similarly ripped chairs in the curtained private store. The alternative chairs were huge, metal and unwieldy and we ended up using a bench from beside the pool. The pool had an unprotected sheer drop which was OK for us with well behaved children but could be absolutely lethal. The beds were all uncomfortable and two of them were in the living room and the owner has possessions occupying a lot of the space on the ground floor and his fridge-freezer is noisily on in the living room. Equipment in the kitchen was not abundant - only four mismatched wine glasses - and we often found ourselves lacking something. There was almost nowhere to store our provisions.
