Spacious Villa, Great Location, Some Drawbacks
We recently stayed at Villa Barbara and appreciated the spacious layout, private pool, and well-equipped kitchen. The furniture was comfortable, and sun loungers added to the relaxation factor. The property was good value for money, with ample room and excellent WiFi, making remote work easy.
However, there were a few drawbacks. Upon arrival, we found some hairs in the bed, and a few light bulbs were out, though these were promptly replaced. The pool area was nice, but the enclosed courtyard felt bare, lacking decorative touches like plants to soften the space. We were also disappointed to find the bath unusable as the water was turned off—a detail that wasn't clear to us in the listing.
While the villa is in a lovely area with convenient parking, nearby restaurants, and stunning beaches within walking distance, the noise from lorries delivering gas and water to the hotel opposite was a persistent disturbance from early morning until late afternoon.
All in all, this villa provides good amenities, a convenient location, and comfort, though there are a few areas that could be improved for an even better experience.
