8/10 Good
"Stunning modern villa with clean pool and beautiful view. Location is difficult to find as there are two complexes (A & B) with the same name, however they are not signposted clearly at each property or easy to locate on a map. The local manager was not responsive enough and did not provide clear address details so we could find the property and had to contact them. Beware the large sliding door to the pool is very heavy and difficult to close from the outside. We pushed it closed to avoid the many wasps and bees coming inside from the garden and got locked out. There is a local supermarket across the road which is very convenient. Overall good value and great for a short stay."
