Several issues made it difficult for us to enjoy our time here, so much so that we left two days early. It's fair for guests know these in advance, especially since they are not described on VRBO and are contrary to the description of a “high standard” accommodation with “all the comforts of modern living.”
• The drive to the property includes a section that is unlit, narrow, on gravel, with a drop on one side, i.e., not a regular "country road” given the drop.
• Outside of a few motion-activated lights (i.e., turn on as you walk by, do not stay on), the lights in the pool area were on a timer that required us to hold a device and push its button every 5 min. to turn them back on.)
• Outside of two motion-activated lights on the lawn area around it, the Jacuzzi area itself had no lights, including no lights inside the Jacuzzi and no decorative lights on the wall. The VRBO photos of this aren't accurate, e.g., one of them shows the Jacuzzi in an open area, while it does have a roof.
• We were quoted an additional 40 euro a day to heat the Jacuzzi. The water was mildly warm the first night, after 5 hours of waiting, and not warm at all the second night.
• The AC turned on but its cooling system did not work.
• There were no screens in the doors, and many wasps around the house.
• The internet was spotty and there was almost no reception in the balcony. We were quoted a limit of 10 gigs for our stay (not a problem for us, but stating it in case it would be for you.)
This meant that we were restricted from going to dinner in neighboring towns (we felt it was was an unsafe drive once the sun set), we were not able to enjoy the pool area or Jacuzzi in the evenings, which was the biggest draw for us to begin with (having to press a button every 5 minutes for lights was not viable, and without lights the area was just not inviting), and we slept poorly (let wasps in along with the fresh air, or close doors but sleep in a hot room).
Sarah was very nice and responsive, but outside of making the internet work (it didn't when we arrived), she couldn't be helpful, e.g., Jacuzzi couldn't be warmer, those were the only lights. Her husband showed irritation and frustration when talking to us (spoke fast and loud, made rude comments), making it hard for us to voice our concerns.
Given these issues and considering the accommodations (tiny bathroom, one bedroom inside the other) despite the pretty setting we would have never paid above peak for this property.
