I had a wonderful time staying at this villa. The view was absolutely stunning, and the spacious room was perfect for our group of ten. The staff was incredibly helpful, arranging activities like sailing and swimming for us. However, it was a bit inconvenient to have to book a car to explore more of the area. Overall, I would highly recommend this place for a fun and enjoyable getaway.
