The Globe Suites Villa

Cute property! Very clean and comfortable! Very well equipped. Elsa was amazing and the breakfast was nice.

It’s a hike to get to it but we loved that! Pass through amazing shops and restaurants to get to the villa. May not be ideal for someone that struggles to get around. The main room with the pool is a bit hotter and humid than the rest of the house. But the bedrooms get nice and cool.

Great service

Too many steps to get there

Breakfast was good and Sonia was amazing. View was superb and great place for 3 adult couples

View, layout and pools...breakfast on our deck.

Living room had a flickering ceiling light and one bedroom airconditioner was broken...brought both to attention of host and neither addressed.

It had an amazing view. The house was beautiful very roomy and clean. The breakfast was great. The staff were excellent.

Breakfast was great. Loved the location.

Nothing

Lots of great things about this place and if we only needed two double bedrooms then some of the low scores would have been higher. Great terrace and amazing view we never tired of, overlooking the caldera and volcano island with a perfect, close, uninterrupted view. We took cushions from inside to make the loungers very comfy (putting back in when not outside). The outside hot tub/jacuzzi was great - bigger than seems from the photos (would easily hold 6) and warm enough at night and cool enough when hot during mid-day. Sonia the housekeeper was lovely and helpful. Breakfasts good. The two bedrooms in the house were big and luxurious (missing that shower). Sonia kept us sorted with clean towels, dressing gowns and slippers. Very close to restaurants, bars, the old port etc. Also only about 10 mins walk going southwards to the bigger supermarket (much cheaper than the mini ones and good choice). 15 mins to bus station.

The '3rd bedroom' is effectively in a separate building next to pool (not accessible through main house) & has a door below it (internal stairs from the room down to a kitchen area & exit door) which apparently can't be locked, meaning someone could enter the room if either coming down from house above (they could easily) or via the street (taking the obviously hidden key Sonia, the hot tub cleaner, breakfast deliverer and others use & probably seen to use). So if, as in our case, the plan was for your 21 year old daughter to sleep by herself in that room then ...... So she ended up sleeping on the lounge sofa for 3 nights & then (due to club noise too louder - much louder in the lounge, OKish in main two bedrooms ) she slept on sofa cushions on the floor in our bedroom for the other 4 nights. But even if there were 2 of you in that 3rd bedroom IMO you need to be clubbers & great sleepers cos the music from the open air club 20 meters away will make it feel like you're in the club! + even if coming home after 4am or .. (it's finish time varied a bit) you'd need to cope with the very loud air con/extractor system by hot tub. You'd then hear the breakfast person turning up below you (at the bottom of stairs), Sonia doing prep work when she arrives etc. May put you off using toilet when people down the stairs. + Not gone to such an expensive villa before & expected the customer-focus to be at least as good as previous places - was worse (Sonia aside). Door to the en-suite toilet in main bedroom didn't close (10 inches short!) & only 2 bottles of water (no food or wine) to greet us when we arrived at 11pm (luckily found a 24x7 bakery), very noisy extractor in our room still on when we arrived. Porter didn't know how to turn off or Panos (mgr via phone). Luckily (my idea not his) Sonia was awake at 12 & dictated how to switch off at outside fuse box.
