Villa Madera

The property itself was lovely, off the beaten track especially on entering the drive of the villa.

Although the property has potential certain things can be arranged. The staff were very accommodating and friendly however even though we informed them that one of us is petrified of dogs and to keep them away from the property this was not the case as 3 dogs often visited the villa and its garden and even marked their territory by urinating on the pool area plants and once even in the kitchen. A few things which we were not happy with are the following: Cobwebs in the kitchen ceiling corners, Bbq should be by the pool and not on the back, Touch up cracked walls between kitchen and living area No water pressure in the kitchen tap There wasn't hot water in all rooms daily Light bulbs half not working More light outside the rooms needed Turf around pool dead and soily so feet get dirty until entering the pool. Gazebos to be revamped, Occasional smell of drainage Kitchen cupboard resting on two stones Oven needs to be changed Kitchen Fan squeaks Weeding needed around the pool area Pool shower to be installed Shower head in one of the rooms blocked AC is needed in the kitchen

We had a wonderful stay! The hosts were incredibly friendly and always available whenever we had questions. It was a lovely surprise to receive local produce, including delicious honey and olive oil—such a thoughtful gesture. The property itself is spacious and well-equipped, with plenty of separate seating areas and a large table that was perfect for our family dinners. Our group of 15 had more than enough room to relax and enjoy. The kitchen was big, comfortable, and made cooking for a large group easy. Highly recommended!

The pool, although still very cold in April, was spotlessly clean, impressively large, and had a great depth. It would be ideal if it could be heated during the cooler months, but even so, we had a perfect holiday. Highly recommended!
