Amazing Sea- and Mountainviews. Tropical Garden with Privatepool

Enjoyable stay.

The property was nice and clean, our hosts were friendly and approachable and the view from the property is fantastic. Everything you could need is in the property and you can park right outside.You’ll need to be a confident driver. Villa Angelus is at the bottom of the steepest hill, I’ve seen anywhere and once through the gates, the short drive to the property could be described as a challenge, but it really is worth it for the views over the coast.It’s not the quietest of properties. Road noise from below is pronounced and there seem to be lots of howling/barking dogs and cockerels around us. Also there is a family living directly below the property with young children, which we were unaware of when we booked. Also their property is directly by the pool, which was lovely but didn’t feel very private, so we didn’t use itThe biggest negative was down to nature, we were invaded by an army of black millipedes throughout our stay and whilst that’s no one’s fault was a bit unpleasant as they were all over the place.Overall a good holiday but one or two things that made it good rather than excellent.

Lovely stay at the villa.

Ankie and Claude made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived even though it was very late due to a delayed flight. The check in was simple and everything was explained in detail. The view from the balcony was beautiful, especially at sunset. The facilities were great and covered all of our needs. The pool area was also great with plenty of room for sunbathing and was a real sun trap. If I was to be really picky we weren’t expecting there to be people in the apartment below overlooking the pool, however it was their daughter staying there with her 2 lovely (and quiet) children and we rarely saw or heard any of them and it certainly didn’t detract from the experience. The cockerels at 2 neighbouring properties were quite noisy early in the morning and a yappy dog next door on occasions, but neither really bothered us and certainly didn’t detract from what was a great week in a beautiful setting. I also must mention their lovely and quite strong wine that we were treated to, served with home made nibbles with their friends and other guests. Most definitely Five stars with only a couple of very minor negatives thank you for your kind hospitality.

Reviewing this villa was difficult, as we found its qualities either rated as a poor 1 star, or an outstanding 5 stars, with little in between. Starting with the five stars, the villa is beautiful and in an amazing location. Time and effort have clearly gone into how the villa is furnished, and little extras such as the maid every few days through to bathrobes hanging in the bathroom, really added to the experience of staying here. Staying as a couple we had plenty of space and found the villa to be well equipped. The balcony gives a lovely place to sit, and the view down to the coast really is incredible. The pool and gardens are beautiful, and are a secluded haven to enjoy the sun. So now for the areas that really let the villa down. If you’re looking for seclusion and privacy, this is not the villa for you. Having enquired directly to the owner about privacy at the villa we were informed that the villa only comprises the top level of the house, and that there is another apartment downstairs; something the photos on the website do not make clear! We were advised that it would only be their daughter staying there, and that she would rarely be at the villa. However this turned out not to be the case, on our second day the daughter’s husband also arrived. Being on annual leave, he was around the villa for most of our stay. Their apartment has a large patio door that looks directly over the villa’s swimming pool. We felt like we were being continually watched, and that we had no privacy at the pool. We had a number of other minor problems during our stay. For the first couple of days there were gardeners around the pool, using heavy machinery. We complained about this on the second day, and they were at least asked to move away from the pool area. We also had problems with the internet, which proved to be intermittent, and the dishwasher didn’t work at all. We kept finding centipedes in the house, and later discovered an infestation of them between the patio doors. We mentioned a number of these problems to the owners, however we felt like we were complaining on a daily basis. This wasn’t the best villa we’ve ever stayed in and I think we would be unlikely to return. Although the owners apologised, and did offer to extend our stay at the villa, we had bookings for the second week of our trip and having discovered problems such as the centipedes, were quite content to be leaving. We tried not to make the problems a big deal, but we did feel let down
