VILLA DOMINIQUE lamia ALBA con piscina a pochi km dal mare

Having stayed at Villa Dominique - Lamia Alba was a true delight! 10 days of relaxation, enjoying the peace and full privacy in the beautiful vacation home. The owner Pasquale is absolutely a perfect host, explaining on arrival details about the property and surroundings, tips on nearby beaches, bakery and shops. Enjoyed almonds from his garden, grapes from his father, homemade foccacia and olive oil from his own olive trees. Perfect location, close to beaches and beautiful cities. Amazing pool, super clean and so beautiful and peaceful! Thanks Pasquale for being the perfect host, surrounded by the warmth of your family, we had an amazing 10 days!

The property description is not correct, its not a Villa or B&B, be aware it’s a shared accommodation with the owner (Host) of property acting as a guardian of the home and watching everything you do as the owner claimed multiple times, “This is my home”. We felt like being in big brother and being watched all the time. If you are looking for a place of relaxation and enjoying a peaceful time with the family and kids, this is not the venue. As soon as we arrived, we were told where to park the cars and not to make noise for the neighbours, the swimming pool to be careful and not disturb the neighbours, depriving of the freedom and usage of services and facilities. The cleaning services never occurred, we stayed 4 days and no one never came to clean and the toiletry services were never refilled, even though on the site it states its included. The WiFi doesn’t work, very scarse connection and disconnected all the time. Also, on the terms and conditions, guests and friends from outside are allowed but according to the owner of the villa we had to ask permission and they dictated the times and when guests could come visit. They were very concerned about the swimming pool & no pool safe-guardian is present for kids when your at the pool. We made friends with the neighbours, whom told us that they held a party and had 17 cars in the villa but the owner didn’t say a word. We were told “Why did you speak with them” basically, again depriving of the freedom of speech in a democratic country. The owner is very rude and started swearing multiple times, when we kindly reminded that we were the clients at the moment of check out. Also, we were told we could not be late for check out when on booking it states between 10:00 - 12:00, but we got told that 10:30am was the maximum. The stay was absolutely a disappointment and would never return again.

the area where the property is located is beautiful countryside, really peaceful and relaxing. The house is small but is built in typical Puglia style and is very charming. the pool is shared, it is very spacious, modern and clean with really nice sun loungers
