The host was very kind and the view and the landscaping of the villa was beautiful, but the inside needs work. There were 2 major things that were disappointing during our stay that made it not feel worth the price for us. On arrival, our entire villa smelled like it was just sprayed with bug/insect killing spray prior to our arrival. It was very toxic smelling and we knew that wasn’t safe to breathe in, so we tried to go out to eat and relax outside by the pool with all the windows open to allow airflow ( couldn’t leave any doors open or the cats onsite would have gotten in). This smell took 2-3 days out of 5 of our stay to finally go away forcing us to sleep in the heat vs air conditioning that we had planned to utilize.
The second thing- the furniture was very old and had no cushion whatsoever, the bed felt like you were sleeping on plywood. My husband and I had neck and back pain each night from sleeping in the bed, at one point I got up in the middle of the night and tried the couch but it was the same, you could feel the springs in the couch. By the end of our stay I was developing bruising on my hips from where I slept on my side.
