Review July 2020
Beautiful garden with abundance of Lemon, Grapefruit and Orange trees providing plenty of fruit for fresh juice every morning. Property was very clean and tidy but suffered from a number of issues that spoiled the holiday experience. The swimming pool is beautiful however only two sun loungers provided for a party of five and no parasol or shaded area provided. As a result we had to go out and buy our own parasols for shade. The barbecue is located at the pool, unfortunately it suffers from an number of practical issues, there is no garden furniture provided so nowhere to sit and eat in shade. Also is approximately 100 metres from the house so have to carry food, cutlery etc quite a distance. Would be a real benefit to have cutlery and a fridge in the "Summer Kitchen" It's so impractical that we only used to once during our two week stay. House suffered from numerous power cuts whilst cooking, especially if the oven and the hob were in use at the same time. This meant fumbling around with a torch trying to locate the fuse box. Also had issues with water supply which turned out to be an issue with water pump. On arrival there was no hot water available. Numerous issues with the lock on the front gate. Overall I feel most of these issues are quite easy to put right with some forethought around the practical aspects of using the facilites. Not a location to rent with small children due to the high wall near the pool, no visibility of pool from the house and the unsecured water feature at the entrance.
