We felt it needed a paint inside and a freshen up and perhaps a new headboard for the bed in the main bedroom. We also found the air conditioner fan going very late at night right outside our bedroom window from the other villa very annoying. Not well designed Just a few changes would make this holiday villa perfect ##### Meggy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle C. 31 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely duplex We had a lovely peaceful time.

Water leaked in profusely under the door when it rained and it would have fallen apart if hubby hadn't done a quick repair job; light fell down from fitting & others were flickering; the kettle fell apart and it just generally needed a spruce up. ##### Rosie This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Bigg123 12 Nov 2015 #### Great location!
