Good base in the region!
We had a good time during our holidays in Villasimius. The town offers a good base to explore the wonderful clear water beaches nearby. There are so many!
We visited in June and many were shallow for quite few meters, ideal for toddlers/young children.
The flat was clean upon arrival. Location wise, I thought it would be a bit more central, but the town centre of Villasimius is actually quite small. You can walk to the centre, a good 10min walk.
Waste wise, you do have to bring your own compost and non-recyclable waste to the recycling centre (a few min away from the flat by car) which is manageable but to note that there is no kerbside collection.
The flat has a nice terrace with mountain/countryside view, as seen in the listing description. There were however a few things that were not as per the flat description on Vrbo: there was no wifi in the flat and it wasn’t a smartTV (common definition of smartTV is ability to browse netflix or amazonTv etc). There was satellite though. This was something that Harald the flat owner acknowledged and helped us solve with providing us an internet connection that we could hotspot on. Parking wise, we did have a spot to park our car on, but I don’t think it is a private car space (as mentioned in the listing), it felt more of a first come first served, but as we were travelling right before the high season it’s been ok. It’s also a shame (but nothing you can do really!) about the view from the living room being on a nearby building in ruins.
Upon arrival, we were also notified that the fridge was out of order, it was quickly replaced the next day.
At the end of our first week which had very hot weather, we had some issues with the electricity, the mains switching off when the AC was on in addition to either the dishwasher or oven. Again, the flat owner was very responsive and got in touch with the electricity provider to increase the electrical capacity of the flat.
We were the first renters of the season so I believe it should be a bit smoother for the upcoming bookings!
