Villaggio SantAndrea

The pool is the main draw, and the location is okay, fairly close to the beach. But €350 for two nights felt like a lot for what we got. On our first night there was no hot water, and the beds were so hard, with springs that made sleep difficult. Beach access isn't handled by the company, so you have to contact another place yourself, in person, because the website is poor. We had to clean before leaving while still paying a cleaning fee. Towels aren't provided unless you bring your own or pay €4 each. Quiet hours are 8 pm to 8 am, which could be tough with kids. My family and I found ways to enjoy our stay, and the people were very nice. Still, I don't want to come back. At check-in they asked for a €100 security deposit in cash. We didn't have cash, so we got it later and returned the next morning. Reception was packed, and then we were told there was also a €6 registration fee. Maybe there was a misunderstanding because they don't speak English, but it left me wondering why I could pay the rent by card yet had to provide cash up front. As things stand, I can't recommend it. Too much money for too little service.

The property was very clean, including the rooms, kitchen, and bathroom. We liked having direct access to the pool and a separate kids' pool, and the staff were friendly and helpful. A few things could be better: it's about a 10-minute walk to the beach, which felt a bit far with children, and there was no lifeguard at the pool. There were lots of mosquitoes. There was no toilet paper, soap, or shampoo, and no oven, only a stove, though those were minor drawbacks.

The location is beautiful, and the staff were very helpful. We liked the climate, garage, private pool with a bar, and private beach with a bar and restaurant. The beach cost just €5 per day for one umbrella and two seats, and there's a shop nearby. The apartment would have been much nicer with basic supplies like towels, toilet paper, dishwasher tablets, a dish brush, salt, pepper, and sugar. They cost very little but would've been useful. There weren't enough dishes either: no wine glasses in Italy, just three spoons and two cups. The pool bar had no opening hours posted, so it would've been good to know when it was open.

For the price, we expected a clean, nice apartment, but it wasn't. Staff needed six hours to clean it, yet we couldn't stay even one extra hour. Never again.
