Villa Amalia July 2008

If you're considering renting Villa Amalia then my advice would be to not waste any time and just do it! You will not be disappointed, we've rented villas in different countries for many years now and this was by far the best. The pictures on the website are an accurate portrait of the villa and its surroundings
and the details of the facilities and accommodation are also spot on. The villa is cleaned and the towels changed twice a week and there were plenty of towels provided for all of us.
We were holidaying as two families with teenage children and there was plenty of space /bedrooms/bathrooms etc for all of us. The snooker table, darts and playstation 2 were very popular, particularly when the weather was a little too hot but the outright favourite facility was the table tennis table - perfectly positioned in the shade under the balcony. The swimming pool is a perfect size for games of volleyball, swimming a few lengths or just sitting in to cool off - it is also very clean and well maintained by the pool man. The steps adjacent to the pool lead down to a rocky area on the cliff edge where the more adventurous can swim in the sea (look out for the jetskiers though!) and any fishermen among you may even be able to catch supper. The uninterrupted views on all levels of the villa are spectacular, particularly the view from the roof top terrace. You can see right across Coral Bay and watch the boats as they come in and out of the bay during the day.
The main beach which offers all kinds of water sports (jet skis, banana boat, pedallos etc) as well as sunbeds is only a 10 minute walk from the villa and the prices for the activities are reasonable. The restaurants, bars and shops are only a 10-15 minute walk in the opposite direction of the beach - close enough to enjoy but far enough away not to disturb the peace of the villa. There are many different restaurants and bars to choose from, so you will find something to suit all tastes.
Amalia is a lovely hostess who is more than happy to recommend restaurants, give advice on how to get to the nearest supermarket (there is a large well stocked supermarket just a 10 minute drive away), recommend places of interest to visit and is always just a phone call away if you have any problems whilst in the villa. We would like to say thank you to Amalia for allowing us to stay in her beautiful villa and we would very much like to stay there again.
