Review |
Overall impression is that the property deserves 3 stars (which is still to be understood as "good"). The main reason for this is that our expectations based on the property description on its web site were not met.
Here is what we did not like:
- the property description in the internet was not up-to-date (state August 2014). The owner claimed that the update was initiated three years ago (!) but noone noticed that it has not been updated until we mentioned it. Now it is October 2014, and the web page has still not been updated.
- the web page states that you rent 3 floors, instead we got only 2
- web page advertises 250 sqm house, in fact you get about 200sqm, and I got the impression that only about 100sqm are inside the house (the rest being paved areas and terrace around the house).
- web page advertises a villa for rent. actually you rent only a part of the villa (upper apartment) as there is a second apartment on the ground floor, which was used by the owner during our stay. Although we were generally not disturbed by the presence of the owner, our kids did not feel free to play in a big part of the garden.
- web page advertises a villa with a big garden, actually there are two villas sharing one garden. It was not really a problem for us, but there are people who value their privacy and being alone, so the description should be changed.
- the web page states that the local beaches are 200-500m away which is not true. the air line to the sea has more than 500m. Using local forest roads and paths the nearest beach is more than 1km away. On two out of three local beaches you can park a car within 50m from the sea.
- we had two bathrooms, but the shower in one bathroom could not be used (out of order) and the owner showed no interest in having it repaired on a short term.
- only two out of four cooking plates were working, which slows down preparing food
- the owner gave us no discount despite we did not get what was offered on the internet.
So, once we swallowed a bitter pill of our expectations not being met and not getting any compensation for it, we actually had a nice time. The house architecture is quite unusual, not very practical in all aspects, but we enjoyed it. The furniture is not the first class, but it does the job for a holiday. We disliked the two wobbly plastic tables, fortunately there was a third one made of wood. Barbecue is very big and comfortable to use. There was an old washing machine and an old dishwasher available which did their job well. The house is located in the Sani forest, which provides very pleasant shade even on the warmest days.
I would recommend the house, if there would be a realistic description in internet of what you really get for your money. |
