We had a wonderful stay at Villa Mamma Mia. There were a few issues to begin with that Colum and Gayle sorted out for us such as a beach sun umbrella that was well past it's sell by date (Colum got us a proper metal one that should last several seasons - much larger and heavier material so more shade), a hammock that was rotten and ripped first go (and no my husband isn't that heavy!) and a broken mosquito net in the main bedroom (sorted during our first week.)

Colum and Gayle also got us extra mugs. plates and even a teapot that I (tongue in cheek) asked for. They were brilliant and do a great job of managing the property. The only item Colum couldn't get for us, despite trying several places, was a safe. Given that we were advised to take cash this was a bit of a concern but we just spread our money around in various places. This is something that I felt the villa really needed because although all the windows have metal shutters you are very vulnerable if you keep the key in the box by the front door.

The shallow end of the swimming pool 0.6m covers about a third of its length so if you are looking for a pool to keep fit and do lengths in, this isn't the one for you. However it is great for cooling off, reading a book under the umbrella while sitting in the shallow end, or even playing a game of volley ball - put the weak players at the shallow end and the good ones at the deep end and it makes for a great game! It's also plenty big enough to have people lounging on several air-beds at the same time.

Upstairs the terrace of the main bedroom is a delight - enough room for several chairs and sun loungers. The outside light is very dim there so you can't unfortunately play card games after dusk. We could do this on the downstairs patio (and see our food to eat it) once the lights were changed for stronger ones. Downstairs there is also a really comfy hammock on the patio and the other hammocks under the trees are great for relaxing siestas in the shade. There are plenty of areas in the garden for relaxing but in some areas you feel a bit exposed (Plants are being grown to give more privacy.) There will be less privacy if the villa next door is completed and no plants or hedging are put up along that wall.

The villa is very well designed and although there is no microwave the cooking facilities are adequate. The bedrooms and living areas are really comfy.

A wonderful place to stay, relax - secluded but not remote.

We would definitely go again.
