    PRIVATE POOL AND OUTDOOR SPACE

    Villa White Sands sits within an approximately 700 sq m private gated plot.

    The pool and gardens are professionally maintained throughout the season.

    POOL HEATING

    Optional pool heating is available at EUR 25 per day for the duration of the stay.

    Pool heating is generally not required during the hottest summer months.

    AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING

Perfect for a relaxing / family holiday.

As the title says, the villa is perfect for a relaxing or family holiday. We were three friends looking for a break from lockdown and the villa was just what we were looking for. Lovely pool, nice rooms and bathrooms, plenty of sunbeds and the best hammock ever😂 The host, Guatam, was superb from start to finish. Instructions, directions, arrivals, keys etc were all done professionally and accurately - no fuss, no masses of paperwork no mistrust, everything was exactly as I like it - easy. If with family or wanting to go out every night drinking and eating I would recommend a car but Guatam also out is in touch with a very good taxi driver. There is a small shop within 5 mins walk but only for essentials really. It suited our needs and would definitely use it again. I’m happy to answer any questions or give feedback on places we visited if of use to you. Finally a big thank you to Guatam for his help and organisation.
