The showers, toilets and internal decoration is in need of immediate maintenance. The TV needs replaced You Tube very poor, no news channels etc it needs a decent Chromecast connection. Bedrooms need upgraded and painted. The Villa is 2KM from the beach but up really steep hills. The electricity continually tripped at the mains when the oven and any other electric item was switched on at the same time, we could go to the fuse box but this could be a major issue for the elderly especially in the dark. Annie was fantastic and helpful even let us arrive early. At the cost of 5500 Euros for 7 nights I would stay somewhere else. ##### Charles F. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel S. 23 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Short stay in Adeje The property was spacious, clean and functional. Heated pool was a real bonus. Quiet location. The property manager (Annie) was really helpful in meeting us, providing local restaurant and bar recommendations, and in arranging a taxi to the airport. Would recommend. ##### Daniel S.
