Disappointing , this property is not as advertised.
On the plus side the house is nice and as described other than the bathroom is a little worn, the toilet is cracked in several places and the shower doors do not close properly and are stained at the bottom.
it is a very steep walk down to the town and we ended up driving as taxis were in short supply.
However we were informed the day before our holiday that there was a colony of feral cats living on the property and were asked to feed them at 6pm daily
There were 11 cats including 3 kittens. We refused and were subjected to a barrage of messages from the owner who could not understand why this was an issue.
She said she would get someone else to feed them but that did not stop them as they clearly live on the property
under the house of the owner which is above the rental house by the pool and they also come onto your terrace, which is totally unacceptable to someone like myself who is allergic to cats and suffers from asthma, which the owner could not accept.
We had to keep the terrace doors closed to stop them entering the house. There was vomit on the stairs on 2 occasions and they use the somewhat neglected garden as a toilet.
You have to pass this area to access the pool which again was blatantly misrepresented, the owner says there are ' some ' steps up to the pool when in fact there are 55 steep stairs, in addition there are 22 to access the house, this should be mentioned in the description.
We went up to the pool one day to find the maintenance man painting the pool railings, which like the front gate are rusty and shabby but this work should have been done when the property was empty.
The pool shower only dribbles and does not spray and as the owner says only works ' intermittently '
The pool is good but the surroundings are dirty and dusty, debris collected on the bottom due to overhanging trees and whilst you can clear the top it is hard to keep it clean and the pool man only comes once a week which is inadequate.
The owners attitude in this was unbelievable in its arrogance and when we complained she replied saying that she imagined we did not want to water the garden either.
She is more than happy to take your money and then expect you to maintain the gardens and feed the cats for her...
We would never have stayed here if she had been honest in her description , it was too late to cancel which she would have been aware of, why not just be honest ? it seems money is her sole driver not her guests.
