Great villa, lovely owners, shame about extra charges
This is a very lovely villa and the owners are very helpful and welcoming. However, there is a but. When you stay at a villa, you really don't want to be worried about how much electricity you use and whether you will be charged extra. On the first day, the meter reading was recorded (however you don't get access to the metre during the stay to know how much basic running electricity there is-pool is heated, or how much you are using). I know this was in the contract, but you assume, a reasonable allowance will be included in the contract. We were charged 28 euros extra at check out. We really hadn't used an excessive amount. There was only four of us (all adults), we only used A/C at night upstairs, we left a day early. Therefore, I hate to think what extra charge there would be for a family with children who stay for the full week. It was also a week during temperatures of 37 degrees and so you would hope the rental price for a premium week acknowledges that electricity may be higher as the rental price certainly is. The AC unit is also on the landing so you have to keep bedroom doors open to cool all rooms (not great for privacy). The extra charges just leaves a little bit of a sour taste when you leave and have to pay more. I think possibly the owners need to allow a little more electricity within the high price they charge as we really didn't use an excessive amount for four. Sadly, it would put me off returning especially if we had a larger group.
