Villa Es Bufedo by Slow Villas

Situated in a quiet residential area in quiet tiny berg of Cala Pi. Cala Pi has 245 residents and we were there in late October only 20 days before the season ends. There were mostly vacationing families. The place is dominated by large homes most German-owned as summer residences. We wanted a home next to the sea. A big drawback is that it is managed by Slow Villas (a property manager) not one point of contact or there owner. From the start of the booking communication was very very slow taking days to answer our questions, which in the end were usually not addressed and with poor English. Ten you had to ask again Their name describes their communication perfectly...SLOW Villas. Their email Instructions were confusing. They require 270 euros in cash upon arrival and wouldn’t answer what this was for. We din't feel comfortable carrying this much cash. All they had to say is that it can be charged. Again you ask but get no answers. Before arriving at their office to pick up the key we tried to make alternate arrangements in case flight was late. Even this was handles so slowly and with little regard to the need we were presenting. They, provide no information al all no even if it's the A or B unit. They don't answer the phones during office hours no weekends hours, we tried several times. Issues with the property: the advertised "impressive view of the sea from the primary bedroom" was not so impressive as half of the shutters are broken and cannot be raised. Big disappointment! No plug next to bed so no light to read. Plaster need repairs, showers had mold and are very outdated, bed was not great.Curtains in the TV room are dirty and lacking, meaning they don't keep bugs out. This same door does not lock. Anyone can come into the house. In a villa this expensive it as a huge disappointment.. Also a few items should be provided idea: such as sugar, coffee, oil. Didn't answer that question so we could go prepared.

The house was kind a humid, there were one two lamps in the bedroom out of order.

Keys had to be collected from the villas office which added time and cost to our journey. Perhaps could have been left in the key box instead. Despite being next to the sea there were a lot of mosquitoes.
