Friendly and responsive 

Trip was well planned and with minimum of hassles.

a good family trip

With the exception of the wrong type of vehicle picking us up at the airport, and only one crib in the villa, instead of two, everything went smoothly. The only other thing that was inconvenient was the lack of a shower in the master bedroom. It had a hand held sprayer, but nothing to mount it on which made for a difficult shower. It was great to have breakfast cooked for us, a the chef we had come in to cook was excellent. Thank you!
