Great villa, excellent location.

Just returned and overall had a wonderful time. Location of the villa exceptional. Walk across the road to the beach amazing and 5 minute stroll to the harbour with fantastic bars and restaurants. Outside seating spaces great. A lot of shade if you want it. Be aware, pool not heated and end of October was cold. The sea was warmer! Bring water shoes as beach is stony. Issues: Roof terrace was big selling point. There was no furniture making it unusable. Showers need descaling as water went everywhere. The pressure was good, showers could have been pleasant. We did not always have hot water. No DVD player and TV did not work. Not a problem for us but if the weather had been bad or we had small children this could have been a problem. Biggest issue was lack of information. We arrived late and did not expect to be met. No one appeared during our stay. We had no contact number to get in touch. No instruction manual for the villa. Nothing about the hot water, how to work anything or how the villa should be left on departure. We got cold at night and only on the last day I found spare bedding. If we had an emergency then we had no idea who to contact. Contact with the hosts was poor. I had to chase key arrival instructions. They arrived on the way to the airport. Very stressful. These instructions stated sockets were British 3 pin, had already packed our European mosquito repellents and no way of using them. Contacted hosts about adaptors and still awaiting response.

This villa has been fantastic for our stay in Latchi. It was spotlessly clean. Great size for the 5 of us. The location was perfect. Only a short walk over the beach which we did every day and a short stroll to where the restaurants and shops are. The pool was lovely and warm. Cleaned twice during our stay. Due to the lateness of our flights we were able to check out later on the last day which made our stay that much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our stay. The villa lovely. Had a problem with the pool which was sorted straight away. The location is great, a short walk to the harbour which we did most days for coffee and the views. The restaurants we went to all very good. Went on a sunset boat trip to the blue lagoon which was excellent which included food and wine. We will definitely be visiting again in the same villa. Thank you Rita & Alex

On the upside the villa is within walking distance to shops, supermarkets, some very good restaurants and a comprehensive water sports centre. The sandy beach is opposite the villa, although getting into the water is difficult due to boulders and stones beneath the waves. Previous reviews have mentioned the noisy road. This is true and can make conversation difficult in the garden. However, we did not find it a problem indoors or at night. However, turning to the villa itself, in our opinion this does not warrant the "luxury" title. It is in dire need of some money invested in it. For example, the pool liner is very old and worn and, as a consequence, has a dark green build up all around the waterline which is very off-putting (algae or not, it looks unhealthy). The garden is mostly laid to gravel with stone slabs and boulders. Watering hoses criss-cross the gravel which sit too proud and can cause a serious trip hazard to young children. The usable area in the garden is just a small area of artificial grass under the sun loungers which gets hotter than the tiles in the sun and also has several red ant nests within it. The pool has large 60-foot trees either side of it which means actual hours of sunshine within the garden are limited. There is insufficient seating in the living room if the villa is fully occupied. When we visited (end of September) it got quite cold at night but the beds were only covered by a single sheet - the agent looked for blankets and couldn't find any and only got some to us the day before we left. The 20cm gap in the shower surround (mentioned in other reviews) still remains and still causes flooding in the downstairs bathroom meaning towels have to be used to mop it up otherwise it too becomes a trip hazard. There are bits out of the kitchen floor tiles although the kitchen itself is well equipped. The Welcome Pack is non-existent. For those who are relying on it for essentials you will receive two bottles of water filled from the tap (Catherine told us she did this) and a handful of tea bags and little Nescafe sachets that you get in hotel rooms. We had a problem from the first night with the noise from the Water Pump which is on the roof. The Management Company's answer was to turn off its circuit breaker at night! Doubt it will get actually fixed. All in all, Latchi is nice but would not stay here again. Nicer Villas are available. Unless the owners start giving back a bit to their customers.

We’ve stayed in Latsi many times so we know the area well. This is the first we have stayed in this villa, or on the strip of villas opposite the beach. We had a great time and highly recommend the area and the villa. The villa is spacious, well equipped and great value. It is in a fab location close the beach and lovely bars and restaurants. The road by the villa can be a bit noisy but it didn’t bother us and it didn’t spoil our time when pit by the pool. Communication with the owners prior to our arrival was very prompt and informative. And Kathryn was very helpful when we arrived. Definitely a villa that is worth staying in.

Superb villa in a fabulous location opposite Latsi beach. Excellent swimming pool and outside facilities. Bars/restaurants and shops all close by. Highly recommended and would like to stay again. Rita and Alex are to be praised for their excellent communication and support during our stay.

This villa is in an excellent location but near to a busy road which was noisy during the day. We arrived on 4th May late afternoon. There was no welcome pack as described in the listing. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was extremely uncomfortable with springs digging into your body. We were told by Kathryn to put a duvet on the mattress. The en-suite shower cubicle doors in the downstairs en suite would not close (by at least 20cm) so that water leaked onto the bathroom floor. This was reported to the management company immediately who acknowledged the problem and assured us that the maintenance man was aware and would deal with the issue. Despite chasing them to fix this, after our 10 day stay no one had been. It was clear that the whole cubicle and shower tray ( which was cracked) needed replacement. One of the pool upright lights was broken and standing at an angle with screws on the floor, the cover for the electrical internal pool lights was broken and the wires were covered by a stone at the pool side. The garden irrigation system was uncovered leaving hoses standing proud and a trip hazard which was dangerous. One of our party was visually impaired and this was a real concern. It would be very dangerous for children playing in the garden. The umbrella in the garden was broken and would not open. The villa next door was being completely renovated with workmen hammering and banging from 8 am almost every day and there are a number of villas on the same road which are also being renovated. Overall we were extremely disappointed with the villa which is described as a luxury villa. It is in dire need of an update and repair. The management company were woefully inadequate in dealing with the repair issues that we raised at our very first meeting. I hope for the sake of customers who have booked this villa in the future that Alex and Rita and their management company take heed of these concerns.
