Villa Isis holiday reviews (7)

23rd September 2010 by PDB, Rochdale (STAYED IN SEPTEMBER 2010)

“Sept 2010, just come back from our second stay - it really is home from home, but with sunshine. The villa is in a residential area and was again spotless and fully functional; close to all the amenities but just far enough away to give peace and quiet. The grounds and pool (cleaned twice a week) are not huge, but they are secluded and perfectly adequate. There is also a barbeque and outside dining area for those lovely summer evenings. The staff were so friendly, it was a pleasure to chat with them again.
The villa is just a few minutes walk from a Hiperdino which did fresh bread throughout the day; prices were good (a bit cheaper than last year) and choice was excellent. Also close was the lovely clean beach should you fancy leaving the pool at any time and there were plenty of bars and restuarants if needed.
We would recommend this holiday villa to anyone and everyone. Perfect.”

“We had an early break here March 11th for a week.
The kitchen is well appointed and the owners have thought of everything! (The selection of knives was better than I have at home).
The leather suite in the lounge was very comfortable and the bedrooms were all well equipped with plenty of storage space.
The supply of pool towels (as well as bathroom towels) is an added bonus to leave plenty of suitcase space for clothes!!
All the maintenance staff we had contact with were friendly, helpful and very efficient.
As our flight back to the uk was a late flight we were sorted out with another villa in which to relax which made a big difference to our last day.
Everything in the villa was of a high quality which really made for a superb holiday.
All in all a wonderful villa. We will definitely be back!”

Owner's response: Our normal service, thank you for re-booking.

“Excellent Villa, excellent facilities. Great location, 2 mins from the supermarket, 5 mins from the beach. Perfect position for some fabulous bars and restuarants. Not really much you could do to improve this other than installing air con.
we had a wonderful 2 weeks in 2009 and are going back again this year.
you can't really say more than that.”

“We had booked this villa, how ever on arrival we were rebooked into an upgraded villa because some decorating needed doing. During our stay at the upgraded villa we had the opportunity to look at Isis and spoke with the people who were in charge of maintenance. The decorating was not drastic (some small black marks on the wall) however it was nice that the owners thought the quality was not of a higher enough standard so moved us to an upgrade. they really look after their propertys and would not hestitate to book again .

“Stayed here for New Year 2009/10. Excellent location, close to beach, shops and restaurants. Our washing machine broke and was fixed the next day by a nice friendly English chap. Villas clean, spacious and with everything you would need for a self catering holiday. Will defo use again. Great value for money.”

“I booked Villa Ashley from 1st to the 15th November for myself and my wife.

The people
To book, I spoke to the owner Paul Swift and felt the information given was detailed and given freely, it made me feel confident. The people on site, the maintenance man Adrian, the pool man Mike, and the ladies who changed the towels, tea towels and sheets and who gave the bathrooms and floors a wash, were all friendly and helpful (and good to chat with). The paperwork when it came was detailed with a map and very helpful.

The Villa
Villa Ashley is a very well appointed three bedroom villa with a 7 ish metre heated pool close to body temperature. It was not directly overlooked but because it can be hired with villa Laura next door for big families that wall is a little lower than some, but still with a private area. It had a BBQ, oven, grill and rings, a microwave, a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, kettle, filter coffee maker and toaster. Supporting this were all the crockery, cutlery, glasses, pots, pans you could possibly need, including a new solid bottle opener. The lounge was equipped with TV, freesat, DVD, and video player and for music a Sony microsystem with tuner (radio), CD and cassette. There was also a simply operated safe in the villa. All bedrooms had ample hanging and shelf space with beds for 7 people. We were extremely grateful for the welcome pack from our lateish arrival, but as the local supermarket is a five minute walk away and stays open until 22.00, seven days a week it was not essential.

None of this was the best feature though, we have hired villas before and found them adequate but the sofa sagged or the bed had slats broken and the equipment was lacking. The furniture here was good quality, solid and well made, the bed even had an orthopaedic mattress and everything worked. For those like me of an environmental persuasion, most of the bulbs were energy saving and the water was heated by the sun. The Villa was close to the front but in a quiet local road, well located, with all of Costa Teguise within a short walk.

If you want to look at issues, the kitchen only had 1 socket, which was loose with use (pointed out by everyone in the villa information pack) and for the lack of two sticky signs pointing out the locks on the patio doors, the handle was loose. The departure time was a little early at 10.00 but assuming nobody was following us in, this was in our case, fortunately flexible. The fridge also froze some of our veg.

Thank you Paul and team, we had a lovely holiday and will bring much less next time. All in all extremely good value and recommended by us.”

“Villa Isis, best villa I have stayed in for years. Jacuzzi is perfect for the night time around the pool. Kids loved it. Location of villa could not be better. The Sunday booking and availability was a big advantage. One big problem only had the one week, will make it two next year.”
