Villa ROTGER

Sixty foot trees run along one side of this property means no sun till midday, pool deep and always cold. Water drainage ditch alongside garden. Mosquitos rampant. Never been bitten like this anywhere I have travelled. Spoiled the holiday as impossible to sit out at pool or on verandah without being eaten alive...and that despite citronella candles, gallons of repellant and anti mosquito coils!

We didn't think to open the lounge shutters until about 3 days in! the lounge is a bit dark with them all closed. but as soon as you open them .... bingo. it wasn't rocket science ! the fridge was a bit wobbly but it really didn't matter, I should have put a prop under it.

We expected to be met at the villa as when we asked if we could change the entry time an answer said yes this could be done at no extra cost making us assume a personal handover---we waited for an hour before finally being fortunate enough to contact booking.com who told us it was key entry and self help and gave us the entry code No shower gel or soap scanty loo paper kitchen sinks blocked before we used them---but were fixed quickly

* The water pump was broken, causing a noise constantly. This disturbed sleep in the twin bedroom. An engineer came, and was unable to fix. Water was turned off in 2 bathrooms until plumber could come the next day. The next day the plumber 'fixed" the issue, but at 11pm it started to malfunction again. We reported this again and another.engineer paid a visit. We ended up moving the beds into the lounge for 3 of the 5 nights we stayed and one night we were able to use the bedroom, we were without use of 2 bathrooms. Management company said they would discuss a refund with the manager/owner, but as yet they are still to reply! * Beds creaks with every turn and needs replacing. Very hard matress. * Wardrobes smell musty,. maybe this is as we stayed at the start of the season and they needed airing out. *Please note 2 of the 3 bathrooms are external. You need to go outside the kitchen to access the shower room. We didn't have use of these due to the water pump issue * Parking is tight on the driveway for a larger car, but there was parking for free at the end of tenancy drive on the road. We always found a space.

The mosquitos! We were plagued the whole time, inside and out, despite there being nets on most of the windows. We were disappointed there were no basics provided such as hand soap and washing up liquid/dishwasher tablets, or extra loo rolls, and it would have been nice to have some mosquito spray! The beds were comfy, but three of the frames were really creaky.
