Villa Nausica

Very Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : excellent location, very spacious and also very peaceful and the view from the pool was fabulous
  : the hot water system was terrible. you had to put the water heater on for showers/hot water and it wasnt sufficient for 8 people. we had to stagger our showers otherwise we would run out of hot water. it would take about two hours every evening for us all to get a hot shower.also we had birds nest in the courtyard which although they were sweet they messed the floor. also for a villa for eight people we had one key, should really have had at least two keys

  : The property was in the most perfect location, with the most stunning views. If you come to stay here then I would highly recommend getting up to watch a sunriseyou will not be disappointed!
  : The pool wasnt heated and was too cold to use most of the time due to the time of year. This was my fault really as I didnt check it was beforehand but I will be sure to always check this for future trips.Re the villa itself, it was a little tired and run down unfortunately. The hot water system was annoying and outdated (no hot water at all, unless you put it on and wait for 15 mins and you have to do that every time you wish to use it, i.e. you cant put it on and then come back after lunch for a shower as it would be off and cold again). The kettle was broken and would leak. The layout of the property isnt very child friendly (we had to hire stair gates to ensure safety).And the whole of the downstairs smelt of damp; it was so bad in two of the bedrooms that we were wary to have our children sleep in there. This well could have been due to us being some of the first visitors of the year but it really should have been aired out or something. The smell made my pregnant sister feel sick.On the lower level (between the bedrooms), there is a courtyard, which had a birds nest and lots of bird mess on the floor upon our arrival. The birds were gorgeous but were very loud and would swoop in when you opened the door. We informed the agent right away and they came to remove the nest the following day. Unfortunately though, nothing was done to clean the mess left behind.The property was of average cleanliness upon arrival, on the whole, and definitely could have been cleaner.Irrespective of the above, we did have an amazing time and I am sure that if you visited later in the year (during the peak season), some of these issues would not be apparent.I would stay again for the location and view alone!
