The 1 star review given by the previous reviewer is accurate but should not be taken too literally. Yes, there were ants in the kitchen but the problem was addressed and corrected in a day or two. And yes the bathrooms were small but we have stayed in 5 star hotels and visited luxury homes and the bathrooms are always small. Spacious bathrooms are very much an American thing as are ice trays. We have NEVER had ice trays or even access to ice anyplace in Europe, Europeans even drink warm beer!! The villa was clean, comfortable for 6 adults, the furniture fairly typical Ikea quality for a rental unit and the view IS fantastic. The parking is far from perfect especially for hauling luggage and groceries but parking is almost always a problem in these areas. The road leading to the villa is VERY steep and VERY winding and no problem if you're riding a donkey but probably not manageable for an inexperienced/ timid/or elderly driver and you don't just dash into town to pick up a bottle of wine on a whim in this road. As the saying goes "don't expect it to be like home unless it is home."
Liked best:
The view, the space the pool
Liked least:
The access road and parking

Thank you for the time taken to write this very fair review and for addressing the negative comments of the previous renter. We do stress that the road is steep, but as you so rightly say, so are most of the roads around here - it's the price you pay for that amazing view!And EVERYBODY agrees - the view IS STUNNING! Even delivery lorries make it up though, so it is do-able and after the first day is really not problem, as you say.
