Villa Patricia by Villalia

location. South facing, pleasant aesthetics.

Unheated pool. See photo. A heated pool was conditional on renting the villa The temperature was set to cool throughout the week so in spite of frequent visits from maintenance staff which ruined our privacy; it didn’t heat. We turned the dial to heat at the end of the week; it finally began to heat but that was by then too late. Smelly washing machine with black slime in the seal ( the smell affected the whole living area). These photographs were taken after they claimed to have cleaned it. We did finally use it and it made our clothes smell even when dry. Microwave did not work. Coffee machine leaking. Which they claimed in two separate emails to have replaced. Some blinds did not work; electrics fused, one day without hot water. Toaster didn’t work and fused a circuit. Dangerously, no lighting on steps to gate. After what were obviously lies some of these issues were addressed. None of these issues was as important to us as having a heated pool. The company refused compensation claiming that the offer of alternative accommodation in the middle of the week would suffice. It seemed in no way comparable with where we were staying.

The location and panoramic views are good, which makes the experience even more disappointing.

Villa Patricia – Decline, Safety Concerns & Poor Management This villa has clearly declined since my previous stay. Faulty sockets and non-working internal lights created real safety concerns. Villalia sent someone who couldn’t fix the issue, then claimed it was resolved when it wasn’t. When challenged, they sent another tradesman unannounced while we were in bed — unacceptable. Villalia refers to out-of-hours visits, pre-arrival checks and storms, but the photos show long-term maintenance issues, not storm damage, and problems that were never properly resolved. They also sought to communicate outside the Booking.com messaging system, reducing transparency. Overall, this is a badly maintained villa managed by a poor company that appears to be relying on previous good reviews rather than investing in proper upkeep. As an aside, the location and panoramic views are good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. Villalia may dispute my account, but premium pricing carries expectations. When a property is poorly maintained, repairs are ineffective, and marketing relies on selective, outdated images, the resulting criticism is entirely predictable. Without requesting a refund, I was refunded a considerable sum due to the seriousness of the issues and Villalia’s failures. Make your own conclusions. Photos confirm everything. For a premium-priced villa, standards and safety have clearly slipped and this property should be avoided.

The property was close to amenities, view was tremendous, both of the mountains and to the sea. In a small development but not over looked and absolutely no noise from other villas. Bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms all to a high standard. Highly recommend this villa

Everything was great

The Villa is really nice placed. You can enjoy the sunset from the garden. Really clean.The pool is amazing. Next time we will book again this Villa.

Lovely location Lovely big outdoor space and pool

No dishwasher and with 6 people it was a pain washing up all the time

The property is really modern, spacious and in a great location. I was nervous it wouldn’t have many local amenities, but it has multiple bars/restaurants 5min walk away and the most beautiful marina full of restaurants, bars, nightlife about 25min walk or €6 in a taxi. The outside space was great and lots of areas for a group, with the pool being a highlight.

There is so much space and it is so scenic, you can see views of the sea and mountains whilst not being far for amenities. The views at night as well as the pool/outside area all lit up is also beautiful and very relaxing. The villa is beautiful and the hosts have great communication and make it very easy, I would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone. We travelled as a group with a small child and everyone loved the villa.
