We rented this Villa in May. A couple of OK reviews on the website and, the inside looked fine - spoke to the owner a few times on the phone, agreed a reduced price for a late booking, went to the bank and, deposited the full cost into their account. The name and address of the villa was not given to us until the money was in the bank - Sunseeker Villa - I have photos also that speak a thousand words to the ones on the Villa website.
Arrived at the villa - it is on the edge of Pervolia but, seemed urban due to a local apartment block across the road. Paint peeling off of the villa and, a bush that was badly in need of a trim taking up most of the front patio. First impressions not so good!
Furniture downstairs was ok - master bed very low and, hard - decided to sleep in the twin beds in the other bedroom - the beds were not made up for guests, obviously they had assumed a couple would sleep in the double bed but, every villa we have stayed in prior to this one had all the beds made up.
I had specifically asked the owner if sunbeds could be put on the back patio for some privacy from the communal pool - the answer was yes - from the photos I am attatching to my review it can clearly be seen that the answer ought to have been No. And if it had have been we would not have rented the villa - there are no photos of the back patio on the website and, now we know why!
The back patio was dire to say the least and, the point of going to the sun is to sit and, have morning coffee outside and to make the most of al fresco dining - we were so dissapointed. The villa is part of 5 that share the pool, if all villas had 2 sunbeds around the pool it would be very squashed to say the least.
The fridge/freezer was not turned on when we arrived and, when we switched it on, 14 hours later it was still blowing hot air! We were fortunate we had not bought provisions on our way to the villa as we would have wasted our money. We rang the management company and Karen could not work the fridge either - rang the owner a few times too.
After a heated discussion with the owner it was agreed that we would leave the villa and, he would refund us half the rental cost. We are still waiting for this agreement to be met - no doubt it will be like snow in the desert! It was mentioned that the money would be in our account if we did not write a review of our experiance - we would not agree to this, otherwise what is the point of sites like these - it is not just for the pleasant travel experiances.
Pervolia is a lovely village and, all the ex pats know one another, a lovely atmosphere and for a chit chat. We were fortunate that through the ex pats we found a wonderful penthouse apartment to rent for the rest of our holiday and, it was cheaper!!!!
