Vila Torre Mani | Vila moderna à beira-mar

Positive: It was very spacious and the property has a lot of bathrooms. Negative: We stayed at this property for five nights as three families with children. The house is very spacious, with four proper bedrooms and one smaller internal room without windows. The smaller room is suitable for children, so it worked well for our group. The garden is beautiful, and there is also a balcony and an upper terrace with a large dining table. Unfortunately, the outdoor areas were not inviting to use. The chairs and cushions around the large dining table were extremely dirty, so we did not feel comfortable sitting there. The balcony furniture, although simple plastic designer chairs, was in much better condition. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean, but the overall cleanliness of the house did not meet our expectations. I understand that a countryside house will naturally have a few spiders, and that did not bother us. However, the dining chairs inside the house were covered with spider webs, and the outdoor chair cushions were heavily stained and looked as though they had not been cleaned for a very long time. Overall, the property did not give the impression of being well maintained. One thing that surprised us was that there was no housekeeping service and no change of bed linen or towels during our five-night stay. Although this was mentioned in the booking details, I overlooked it when making the reservation. We have been renting similar holiday homes for the past seven years, and this was the first time we had no cleaning service at all during a stay of this length. The biggest issue occurred when the water supply was cut off at around 9:00 p.m. one evening and was not restored until approximately 3:00 p.m. the following day. As we were three families with children, many of us could not shower that evening, and even using the toilets became difficult. We were disappointed by the lack of communication and initiative from the housekeeper .

Recommended Positive: Amazing views all around the area, one of the most beautiful places in Europe. The accommodation is really nice too and sparkling clean.
