Villa Rossella 1 Two-bedroom Ap Achilea

Really friendly.

The garden and pool were stunning, but the apartment let us down. We were there with our one-year-old, and the steep stairs up to the bedrooms would have made us choose somewhere else if we’d known beforehand. The second bedroom was actually more like a passageway, which was awkward with several people. Cleanliness also fell short. At this price, finding mold in the bathroom or fridge just isn’t acceptable.

There are plenty of places to swim nearby, whether you go on foot, by bike, or by car. For food, Dario is a very good pizzeria, and there’s also a fairly new McDonald's close by. The harbor takes about 10 minutes to reach on foot, while the old town is around 20 minutes away at an easy pace. The apartments are in a peaceful spot, and there’s a bike storage area in the garden, though it’s accessible at night, so I wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving an e-bike there. There is secure parking nearby. Breakfast and light snacks are easy to sort out with the two stovetops, microwave, kettle, and dishes. A bakery is about five minutes away in any direction, and Maxi Konzum, Lidl, Plodine, and DM can be reached on foot or more easily by car. Highly recommended.

We left very disappointed. The listing didn't reflect what we found: the second bedroom is a pass-through, the bathroom has a terrible smell, and things are generally worn. The kitchen is tiny and there's no coffee maker. To get to the pool you have to go around the house, and the small balcony furniture doesn't really allow you to eat outside. You can't give less than one star.
