"It's far from the city and the transportation is not very convenient, but everything else is fine"

"The room has a great view and is very spacious. The host is lovely and even has a turtle! It's about a 30-minute bus ride (bus 10) to the city center, but Google Maps doesn't show it, so you'll need to look up the route yourself. The location is quite convenient with several beaches nearby. The Old Town was too crowded, so this place was perfect."

"I will attempt to keep my review brief. I'm a firm believer of, if you have nothing positive to say, then don't post! However, I feel I must share our experience to any families who are considering staying at Villa Samba, to well and truly avoid. My family of 4 recently stayed at Villa Samba for my husbands 50th birthday. The owner Nicola kindly gifted my husband with a kraft of red wine. Within 24hrs we discovered the owners do not like children and teens! The place has a nice pool, which the owner is super-precious about, as he made the point of how much it cost him to build. We did only use the pool once and that was enough, as my husband was spoken to very rudely by owner Nicola, all because my daughter had accidently knocked and turned on the infinity pool switch . We wasn't informed the pool even had such feature, and though it came on automatically. The following morning I was told off for leaving a porch light overnight. There were other abrupt interactions with the owner, which I won't bore you with! The apartment itself was spotless, and that's the only positive thing I have to say about the place. There is no local shop/convenience store nearby, you have to drive or catch a bus. There are a couple of restaurants nearby, which are average. If you are visiting as a couple, you should be ok...providing you do not use the owners €300,000 swimming pool! "
