  : The views from the villa are beautiful. You can see the coastline, surrounding countryside and mountains all around. It is in a quiet location and very peaceful. The villa itself is spacious, has a really good pool and garden with barbecue. It is surrounded by fig trees which produced lovely, ripe figs to pick. There is ample parking on the drive under the shade of the trees.
  : The location of the villa is difficult to find. Even though the hosts sent location co-ordinates, there are no less than three villas all called Villa Can Canavaret in the area. It took me three attempts to find the right one. Although the villa is in a lovely, quiet location this means the roads to it are very narrow with tight corners. All of the air conditioning rattled loudly and were so noisy they couldn't be used at night, which made for a very uncomfortable night in the heat. This wasn't reported at the time as it isn't an easy fix. The units are very old and need replacing. We were there for one week from Saturday to Saturday and from Tuesday onwards there was no hot water, so it was cold showers only. This wasn't reported at the time as each of us weren't aware of the other not having hot water and so assumed we were just unlucky and needed to wait while the hot water refilled. The general cleanliness of the villa was good, however the inside of the dishwasher was very rusty and unhygienic and there was mould around the sides of the bath/shower. The internet connection was very weak and unreliable and for a lot of our stay there was none at all. Minor deficiencies include: Not enough cooking utensils, especially saucepans and chopping knives, and some utensils were rusty. It is essential to clean up every scrap of food so as not to attract ants, but there were no cloths or anything to clean the surfaces with and the broom had no handle which meant crawling around on your hands and knees to sweep the floors. Some outdoor anti-mosquito devices would have been welcome (we can't use chemical sprays on skin). It wasn't enjoyable sitting outside being bitten all over, which was a shame as the outdoor area is really nice.
