We loved
- the villa and its situation
- the rooms/beds which were very comfortable
- the decoration and all amenities
We loved less the fact
- that the house was not really clean when we arrived (fridge, doors, loo, etc.)
- that the cook, despite being a true sweetheart, was not very qualified and was totally unable to cook a full meal for 9 people 3 times a day, in fact note even one meal a day!
- that the housekeepers, despite being asked not to do so, kept changing towels and sheets too often
- that the whole staff is very little concerned about saving nature and environment
We also think that the sharing of tasks should be reviewed, the staff shouldn't wash the dishes with soap under running hot water before putting them in the dishwasher and wipe them again afterwards (!), the cook shouldn't have to clean the kitchen, pots and so on, the 2 other ladies would have plenty of time to do so! A laundress is certainly not necessary, especially if sheets and towels wouldn't be changed so often. Who does this at home?
Their working hours should be reviewed. Impossible to have a cooked breakfast before the arrival of the cook at 9, and then she does the pots/stove from the night before! Impossible to have a proper dinner cooked, served and the kitchen cleaned with someone very slow working from 5 to 8 pm. Cooking, eating and cleaning cannot be achieved in 3 hours! We ended up cooking, cleaning, etc., ourselves and gave the afternoon off to the staff many days!
Impossible to have 3 meals between 9 am and 8 pm, including preparation , eating and cleaning!
