Exceptional
Property was nice but the additional "cleaning fee" was like a scam from unethical hosts
Liked: We liked the property and location, the interior and generally the outside garden. The apartment is equipped with the essentials (glasses, plates, cups etc.).
Disliked: The pillows were way too flat on the bed (for my liking) and no strong fans/AC so be aware if you're going in the peak of summer. The most disappointing part of this experience was being *charged* completely without my awareness 15% of the room rate for a "cleaning" fee based an already 85-90% clean kitchen. I wrote to the owners/managers why this charge occurred on my credit card bill and was then told her that the kitchen was clean. We cleaned it quite thoroughly and the owner told me to be aware of my tone because the cleaning fee fine print was on a sign somewhere in the kitchen. Still unsure if this is legal - but I didn't waste more of my time fighting this. Here's the most important part: I was going to receive a picture from the owner for the "dirty" kitchen... and after following up - she sent no picture and blatently blamed her cleaner for being a 'liar' (very questionable ethics since this cleaning woman is keeping the standard for all future guests). More importantly, she had mentioned "no other guests have had an issue with this charge" which raises major red flags for other people NOT calling out a random charge and makes me wonder how many times this has occurred to the financial benefit of the hosts. Eventually, I got a reversal of the charge. Due to the owner being unethical and dishonest, I would never stay here again or leave my credit card details with these people.
Please install a air conditioning which create a good comfort for the place
Liked: Location and the villa
Disliked: There was no air condition and the weather was extremely hot we couldn’t be comfortable
Great stay in a charming villa
Liked: Very interesting set-up! The building with the gardens are amazing. Spacious, very clean and nicely decorated apartment with great terrace. New and comfortable bathroom. New and well-equipped shared kitchen-room and other convenient shared rooms. Very nice and quiet location with possibility to reserve parking place in the hotel 50m away from the villa.
Liked: Nice villa, clean and confortable room. A bit outside the city but walkable
Disliked: The toilets outside of the room, making it a bit tiresome when you have to use them during the night
Liked: The tidiness, the kettle, the flushing
Stellar!
Liked: This was one of the most beautiful and luxurious places where we have ever stayed! Our room with huge terrace was gorgeous, both modern and functional, and tastefully designed with antique furniture. The bed was large and very comfortable. We slept with the double doors wide open, and woke up with a view of the mountains. Since the weather was good, we spent much time on the terrace, which was our extended living room. The fancy espresso maker in the room did not have decaf capsules, so after mentioning this to our hosts, they graciously provided a different espresso maker in the shared kitchen. That kitchen has everything you could wish for. The bathroom attached to our room was new and gorgeous, with a bathtub as well as a shower.
