  • No pets allowed — The villa does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No on-site staff — While hosts are reachable, this is a self-catering property without a traditional front desk or daily housekeeping.
  • One-bedroom layout — While there is a two-bedroom house option listed, the villa is primarily a one-bedroom, which may be limiting for larger groups.
