Beautiful villa but beware the noise police!
Lovely villa in a beautiful location, close to nearby towns & beaches. The property itself cannot be faulted and the listing is accurate. The only negative that we were impacted by is the local 'quiet hours' that we were blissfully unaware of before arrival. Apparently, 15:00-17:30 is a time of the day when the locals want quietness...this was communicated only by finding an unsigned note stuck to the gate on the first morning there. Subsequently, 2 children playing together in the private pool must have irritated the neighbors enough to then receive a 'noise complaint' email from the villa management company. This local law was nowhere to be seen on the booking page or in the subsequent information sent re travel advice, etc. Left a bit of a sour taste that taking advantage of the beautiful pool at the best time of the day so to not bake alive in the midday sun was done under this restriction. A simple sound meter app revealed that the kids were playing at no louder than 60-70 dB so next door neighbors must have very sensitive hearing!! Final issue is that the off street parking/car port couldn't be accessed as the gate was shut tight and 2 large potted trees are placed immediately behind it to prevent opening. Thus, the car baked in the sun on the street outside and needed to be run on full AC each day before venturing of in it. Parking is tight enough as the village can get busy-ish on weekends/festival days. Overall, minor niggles that wouldn't stop me booking again.
