Villa Palma - Sunset Sea Views with Pool, Jacuzzi, Sauna and Games Room

Tolle Lage

The lovely view, the large airy rooms, good air conditioning - used as heaters during our February visit, well equipped kitchen, spacious 2 sitting rooms, a lovely supermarket only 10 mins away, the villa is ideal for groups of friends! Also we had a very good response by our hosts to our needs, providing us with a much-needed teapot! We used the sauna once, which was great. The hot jaccuzi was fun too. We went once in the pool (it was February!). You can go down many steps right down to the sea from the villa. Good wifi, very comfy beds (all of them).

There was a big storm and the electricity was partly cut off in our villa. However, the rapid response was excellent and an electrician came to sort it all out very fast. The only thing that could have been much better is for the owners to do some redecoration in a few parts of the house, for example some bathroom doors did not have locks, others with dodgy locks (a few of us were locked into the bathroom). Also some tiles in the bathroom had fallen off the wall. And a few other places needed some some attention, like the kitchen kick-board. It would have been great also to have some good reading lights in the sitting rooms. But on the whole it is a very wonderful villa, and it made for a hugely happy holiday.

Location and easy to get to and from

It was in need of TLC

How spacious it is, the kitchen facilities and washrooms by the pool. The view! Hot tub and sauna & gym!! The owners were very responsive and any questions or problems we had they sorted right away for us. The bbq gas run out & we had one delivered within 30 mins. Cannot fault their customer service. Would defo recommend for a family holiday.

Property does need a bit of work but nothing that affected our stay there etc cracked or missing tiles in bathrooms.

Wonderful location if looking for a quiet villa and away from the crowds. Amazing views. Large property. Great pool area.

Property is a little rundown in places. especially kitchen area and plumbing issues in master bedroom, no warm water. Old taps, missing tiles etc. could do with a facelift in places given marketed as luxury villa. We had issues with dishwasher and air conditioner too. Victoria the host was very responsive and helped as best she could. Could not fault her service.

Photos don’t do this villa justice…. Absolutely stunning… Much bigger than it looks also (including the pool that is over 2m deep. I was concerned after reading some of the reviews but I needn’t have been… 10/10

Nothing

Everything. The standard of everything was excellent. A very quiet and peaceful location rather than a busy resort.

Nothing really. The pool pump stopped working one day but received a reply immediately from the manager of the property and a new pump was fitted the next day.

The location was brilliant - wonderful views, swimming pool ideal for children, very roomy villa.

The sliding doors were very difficult to open; there was a smell of drains externally; the steps outside were often wet and slippery (I think from the aircon system) so were quite dangerous; no restaurants or shops within walking distance.

Mellieha is a wonderful city with many excellent restaurants and it is really easy and inexpensive to travel around with a Bolt-taxi. The walk from the Villa to the city centre takes about 20-30 minutes. There is absolutely no traffic in the street (at least not in April) and it is quite quiet. The house is well organized with every bedroom apart from the other. It was no problem to be ten people there. The bathrooms are nice with decent showers. It is also very good to have an elevator in the house to bring the luggage between floors. The jacuzzi is quite small (for two persons) but nice. The pool table is a big bonus. We had a lot of fun playing in the evenings. The absolute best was the infrared sauna, the pool and the big veranda downstairs. Although it was quite windy during our stay it provided good shelter. Our host, Victoria, who met us in person in the beginning and showed us around, was really nice and very quick to respond to all questions we had.

We have to admit that some things were not as great as we expected. Quite many things need a repair or an upgrade such as the bathroom and kitchen cabinets (which smell of must), the sofas in the big living room upstairs and the locks on the sliding doors. We could only lock one bathroom door but that was no huge problem (if a bathroom door was closed it simply meant that someone was using it). But all in all it was a wonderful stay.
