This Villa is beautiful, very clean and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen, and met our needs perfectly. Communication with the owner fabrizio , and his facilities manager maria was excellent, and we had cleaners call mid way through our 7 day stay. The pool is small but sufficient for our needs, just to dip in to cool off. The complex is massively stunning and modern, with plenty of pools, but mostly geared up for all inclusive and we had the option to go all inclusive upon arrival at a cost, or you can pay as you go in one of the restaurants within the complex, you can also purchase drinks from the bars on site, and the bar staff friendly. We chose to remain self catering and managed to get the basics from the small supermarket in santa maria by way of eggs, bread, milk, cheese, crisps and snacks etc... We travelled into santa maria each evening by taxi which costs €4 each way, there are plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from and most accept euros alongside their local currency, eating and drinking in Santa Maria is extremely cheap, on average we spent around £60.00 for food and drink for 4 people, (and we like a drink or two) expect to get pestered by locals looking to be your guide, or take you into their bar/restaurant, but if you're firm and polite they will take no for an answer, and we didn't find this too much of a bother in the end. We will be booking to come back this villa this time next year, the weather is fantastic, and the wind wasn't as bad as we were expecting and is in fact a welcome break from the heat. I would definitely recommend..
