Hot tub would not heat - water too cold to use.Small ant problem - main house upstairs bathrooms (lessened after we told the housekeeper).
Lightbulbs not working (for some outdoor and indoor lighting).
Suggestion for chefs: The chefs prepare amazing food, but perhaps making less/ buying less makes more sense (store bought cakes and lots of breads).

The close access to the beach, location, en suite rooms, great pool, Elena was wonderful, overall a great trip.Overall I was happy with working with Villanovo. I thought the response time could have been quicker but towards the end when working with Amaya the response time was very quick. The deposit amounts/balance amounts document was very confusing (as per the many emails I sent and I spent way too much time trying to figure out the way it was presented since the numbers weren't matching up. Other than that I thought the process was pretty good. Everyone was willing to offer help when they were available to do so and I would recommend Villanovo to friends and colleagues.
Kitchen could have been better stocked (ie. tupperware, saran wrap, foil, basic condiments and seasonings like salt and pepper, spices, olive oil, etc. It doesn't cost much but was annoying and a hassle to have to go out and buy things like that.The key situation was outdated but realize the owners can't now implement an electronic key system.
I had asked Villanovo about fishing on the beach and was told that there was no fishing on the beach as per the owner's reply. As soon as we got there we saw people fishing and that was quite upsetting as my husband really wanted to fish and was very disappointed since he would have brought a pole. Also, it would have been nice when we asked about fishing that at that point the owner could have suggested that he could go fishing with a fishing company as our neighbors next door did (the other villa rented by a group of male friends).
Lighting in the bathrooms was terrible - would have been nice to have a vanity mirror with lighting for putting makeup on.
