Apartments Villa Karmen

The access road up the hill is so narrow that even walking there is difficult. Inside, the apartment they described as regular is almost entirely underground, with just one window facing outside. The photos make the space look larger, apparently with a wide-angle lens, and the pool was dirty. The landlord was always around and had a very bad attitude. For what you get, it’s way too expensive. At that price, I’d look for a better option.

The owner’s Dingac wine is really good 👍. We loved the peaceful atmosphere, the amazing views, and the garden by the pool, which makes it feel so relaxing.

We booked the downstairs “room” for two weeks, but only stayed six nights. The darkness, stale smell, and insects made us really uncomfortable. It looked lovely and bright in the photos, but inside it was completely dark and smelled as if it had never been aired out. There was mold all over the window frames, a maggot in a drawer, and mold on both the kettle and sandwich maker, so we couldn’t use them. The tap water smelled strongly of chlorine and something moldy, so we bought bottled water and couldn’t even use it to wash dishes. The landlord said the smell was perfectly normal. The pool was clean on day one, then got dirtier and dirtier after about four days. We didn’t want to swim in it anymore. I wouldn’t recommend staying here or suggest it as a holiday spot.

We ended up paying an extra 200 euros, including cleaning for both the apartment we left and the new one. After what happened, we felt badly mistreated, and the whole thing left a bitter taste. This was a long-awaited holiday, and we didn’t want to spend it arguing, especially with the owners living on site, but their behavior was unacceptable. We were first given a studio underground. It was dirty, smelled musty, and had cobwebs everywhere. Bugs came out of the fireplace. When we tried to remove a caterpillar, we noticed a urine smell and thought it might be a rat or mouse. The owner’s wife said she didn’t see a problem and didn’t know how to help. We asked to move, but she said the other apartments were booked for the next day. That wasn’t true, as there were no other guests for several days. It was already late, and moving out wasn’t realistic with our 8-month-old baby. After we asked several times, the owner agreed to rent us another room, which was fine. His wife called the situation “unusual.” We were very disappointed with our stay and can’t confirm the positive reviews.
