House needs some loving
Absolute hands-down best parts of the hillside villa were the view and the pool. We spent more time at the dining table with the huge window open, on the deck and in the pool than anywhere else. We loved that part of it.
Expectations are important so don’t expect a luxury house. It looks like it needs a lot of TLC. The outside paint has rust in areas. The only filtered water in the entire house was from the kitchen faucet with a brita filter at the end. The ice maker and the water dispenser in the refrigerator door were both broken. The high-end stereo equipment was not usable because a component had broken. The treadmill, located on a bedroom balcony broke a couple of days before we got there. A bedroom toilet had been leaking for so long that it was dripping onto the washing machine on 1st floor and a large piece of paint was peeling from the ceiling. The tiles surrounding the pool are coming off- in one place you could see the webbing. Where the tiles were not peeling, there was either rusted areas or bleached tiles.the most dangerous issue were the pool ladders. I do not understand how anyone could not know these were a hazard. One person was on the ladder when it came out of the deck and broke in half. He could have been very badly hurt. Brenda, manager extraordinaire, had a new one installed the next day. Pool is not fenced in on all 4 sides. nor is there a pool alarm or any safety measure for kids.
But my group would still go back- the view is priceless.
