Vila Caravela - Private Pool by HD Properties

The location was great, pool area was nice when the broken sunbeds were removed.

The bathroom facilities are poor.

Es una casa muy espaciosa, con habitaciones super amplias y camas y almohadas muy cómodas. El salón comedor también es grande y hay capacidad para que se sienten 5 personas en los sofás. La cocina está bien equipada, con utensilios de cocina variados y tuppers suficientes para guardar bien la comida en el frigorífico. Hay dos frigoríficos, algo esencial en una casa con tal capacidad. El exterior es tal cual se ve en las fotos, con la ventaja de tener tanto sol como sombra en diferentes espacios del terreno. El servicio que aporta la empresa que lo gestiona es bueno y ágiles en cuanto tienes alguna necesidad o dificultad.

Tuvimos dificultad para que el agua del grifo y de las duchas saliera templada, porque o sale fría o sale muy caliente (y con niños se hacen complicadas las duchas). Llamamos y vinieron a arreglarlo, pero no se solucionó. En general los baños y la cocina necesitan una renovación. A la piscina le faltan muchas baldosas y los bordes tienen manchas de cloro que no salen (pese a que se pasen una vez a la semana a hacer el mantenimiento de la piscina). El césped también vinieron a cortarlo una vez a la semana, es una pena que sea un estilo muy grueso, ya que no es cómodo sentarse en él. La gran sombrilla del jardín está rota, y en cuanto hay un poco de viento se vuelca porque le faltan unos buenos soportes.

A beautiful villa in lovely grounds. A lovely spacious garden and pool. Plenty of space for our extended family holiday.

The kitchen equipment would benefit from a major upgrade. Some tens are not fit for purpose and I communicated that to the hosts again this year. Cushions on some of the outdoor furniture also need replacing.

Villa was to an exceptional standard. Spacious and plenty of room for 6 adults and 1 child. Modern clean furnishings. About 15min walk from quarteria or a 5 min uber. 5min uber ride to marina also. Parking for a car outside - We all felt secure and safe in the area. Plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. Bbq facilities were great and used well during our stay. 1 bedroom downstairs + 1 bathroom 3 bedrooms upstairs, 1 bathroom + 1 room is an ensuite. Plenty of crockery with everything you would need (apart from baking trays for the oven which seemed odd?!) - numerous plates, bowls, assortment of glasses, serving trays alongside equipment such as kettle, toaster, oven, microwave, washing machine, 2 large fridges. Had an issue with boiler which was fixed very quickly. Air con worked great and kept the villa cool despite 30c heat somedays. 3 sets of keys which made it easy for us to come and go. Balconies overlooking the garden in 2 of the rooms.

No cleaning products left for us to keep the place clean- such as washing up liquid, soap, bin bags, sponges, kitchen roll. Would be good to leave these things rather than having to go out and buy them (luckily we had a car). No condiments either for cooking (wasn't expected but would be nice) eg. salt, pepper, oils etc - be prepared to buy it all! Upstairs ensuite shower runs hot and cold but no big deal really. 4 sunloungers- might be nice to add a few more! That is just me being picky now! Amazing villa and amazing stay. Thank you.

Pool area and spacious inside . Air conditioning in every bedroom. Good bbq area

Lack of plastic glasses plates etc for outside dining. Parasol blew over twice .

Great size, great location, outdoor area was fantastic.

There was no gas or hot water for 2 of our 5 days - we reported this immediately and sent videos to the agency. Telling us to just try again and then go silent when told this wasn't working was a shocking level of service. We were unable to cook and had no hot water for 2 days. We were using this villa to prepare for a wedding and having no hot water to shower for the entire groom's family was quite stressful. The level of communication and service in fixing this issue was far below what you would expect, particularly given the amount paid to rent this villa.
