Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros:
-The villa itself is beautifully transformed into a hotel.
-The dining area is pleasant with stunning mountain views.
-The surrounding city and scenery are incredibly beautiful, offering picturesque mountain vistas.
-The management staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming.
Cons:
-Basic amenities are lacking; there was no tea or coffee provided with the kettle, and only two towels were available.
-The room was smaller than expected with minimal furnishings—a fridge and a non-functional phone, both empty and inoperative.
-Cleanliness was an issue, with the room and facilities not well-maintained.
-The breakfast options were limited to eggs, a small selection of fruits, a dish of jam, and low-quality coffee.
-Despite the villa's charming location, the high altitude led to challenging weather conditions during our stay, which included cold, rain, storms, and fog.
-The pricing per night is high, which set up an expectation of a more luxurious experience that was not met.
Conclusion:
While the villa offers some enchanting views and commendable staff hospitality, the lack of basic amenities and overall maintenance does not justify the high cost. Potential guests should weigh the aesthetic and service positives against the practical drawbacks and high price. Given my experience, I would likely explore other options before considering a return visit.
