Torre delle Stelle holiday villa: Torre Delle Stelle

Villa Evie is very much how it appears on the website. The villa was immaculate when we arrived with beds made up as requested. The views from the villa are amazing and sitting in the evening looking out over the bay was a joy. The pool was a particular feature and was one of the better pools we have experienced as it has both a deep and shallow end thereby catering for the needs on younger children and teenagers.

The lady who manages the villa for the owner was very pleasant and helpful and sorted out our only one problem with the pool very quickly and efficiently. She didn't give us guidance on rubbish collection which we had to enquire about (very minor grumble!).

The villa was generally well stocked in terms of crockery and bedding but I would perhaps suggest that a couple of large pans which could cook pasta and sauce for 8 people were included in the inventory.

I would also suggest that a change of bedding was given after the first week in the summer. One small grievance was the lack of fan in one of the 4 bedrooms which could easily be rectified.

The weather was hot and sunny and the holiday was really relaxing and I would recommend it for families and groups of friends. The pool is not enclosed so could be an issue for small children. The villa is situated up a steep mountain road which was a challenge to begin with but was great fun for the kids and we got used to it quickly giving another aspect of the holiday. It was situated away from the crowd which was great.

Beaches are busy in the summer and parking can be an issue but we found the beach at Solanas easier to park at. The local restaurants were accommodating and we particularly liked Acquarium in Torre del Stelle.

I would recommend this villa a great time was had by all.
