The property itself is a great house in a great location, what lets is down so badly is the furniture and furnishings. These are clearly very old and not looked after, we were so looking forward to sitting on the upper terrace for the sunsets but the cusions on the furniture were covered is dust / sand from where they had been rained on and they smelt very musty, you would not want to sit on them once dressed for dinner to watch the sunset. The rest of the villa was very tired, window catch in the bedroom was broken, the big picture in the hall was coming away from its frame, the kitchen utensils were also very poor, very little available and what was there was broken or unusable, there is a green knife in the drawer, which is the only serrated knife in the place that looks like its been used to fill holes with polyfiller !!. we also went to use a pan from the cupboard to cook some pasta and it was filthy with cooked on food that looked as though it had been there some time, we had to soak it for an hour and then give a good scrub before we could use it. Worst of all was the fact there is NO SMOKE ALARM... Also the fire blanket for the kitchen was wrapped up in the cupboard above the cooker, not ideal in the event of a pan fire !!.. With a little investment, care and attention this could be, as i'm sure it once was, a fabulous villa, but as it is we will certainly not return.
