Lovely farmhouse but.....
Not a great start to the stay as despite sending messages to the host that we were on our way with an eta we were given no contact details of where to collect the keys to the property. Eventually after a 2 hour wait outside the property and an over an hour phone call to vrbo (which cost a load) who did book us hotel rooms as a last resort as they couldnt contact anyone either we got a phone call from the host when we were on our way to the hotel that the house manager was now at the property to let us in. I am not sure if the communication issue was caused by being in a low signal area but was very frustrating. The property itself is in a very quiet village with friendly neighbours and within easy reach of all lager towns and attractions but would recommend having a car. The house is very large and with plenty of utensils, books, cds, towels etc and a lovely large pool in well maintained gardens.However as highlighted else where there is a serious dust issue in the ground floor bedroom where the walls are made of sandstone that are very crumbly and the dust is made worse when using the air con (av cost 2€ per night to cover the 3 bedrooms) or the fan. We had to clear dust daily from the bedside table but this did not distract us too much from having a lovely relaxing break.

Lovely property
The villa was unique, we loved the quirky stairs, doorways etc.. We used Ubers while there and weren’t too far from many places. Bedrooms spacious, air conditioning a blessing. Cons: no information on rubbish collection etc. we had to ask the neighbours.. an information booklet would be handy Toaster wouldn’t work properly and had to be held down, couldn’t leave anything on counters as dust from wall covers the areas. Not a necessity but we have stayed in many villas and usually their is some condiments like salt available.. Would we stay there again, yes we would

Not to be missed
Not sure where to start! This holiday accommodation is by far the best I have experienced. The house has so much character and charm. The garden offers a wonderful pool area that allows you to relax in total comfort and seclusion. The kitchen is very well equipped and provides you with the choice to self cater when required. We would strongly advise that you utilise the air conditioning available in the bedrooms. Set it to the lowest temperature and shut all the doors windows to the room. We failed to do this on arrival and it took us 2 days to get the temperature down. August can be ridiculously hot ! Provisions can be acquired from Lora’s supermarket which is a straightforward 5 minute walk away. Don’t be put off by the shop’s narrow frontage. There is an excellent choice of fresh products and all those essential items. We were certainly able to get everything we wanted. Stock items changed daily and the price and quality offered great value. We stayed in the village of Munxar for 18 nights. We did not hire a car and we came away totally happy about our trip. Travel by public bus was very easy and inexpensive. Many popular tourist attractions can be visited by bus. Fares are low and the buses are modern and comfortable. It would be remiss of me not to mention the restaurant based in the village market square. Paulo’s was open from Wednesday to Sunday each week. It offers the best Pizza I have ever tasted. It also offered other meal options that proved to be great. Finally, I must mention Noel andToni. The former is the owner who provided excellent communication at all times. Toni is the local property manager, he was very helpful and always on hand if needed. When we arrived at the property the local supermarket was closed because it was a public holiday. Toni provided us with water and took us to Victoria ( the capital) so that we could find somewhere to get a meal. He also made taxi arrangements for our return to the UK. He is a very nice guy who certainly went the extra mile! The house was very clean with cleaners, pool cleaners and gardeners all visiting each week. I cannot fault this property and the holiday in any way.

There is still magic in the world.
Magical. I really don’t know where to begin. Noel is the loveliest man. We arrived and when the door opened, our jaw’s dropped. Noel’s home is spectacular. I have stayed in many places which are sort of ok, but decor is tired, facilities aren’t great but you still have a lovely time. Noel’s home is absolutely beautiful. Decor is classy, bathrooms are so modern, hot water, amazing kitchen - even down to the green dishes ( I want some), breathtaking architecture, air-con in every bedroom and I haven’t even started on the garden. Warm pool, bougenvillia, jasmin and butterflies - the outside is resplendent with greenery and beauty. We were left to our devices and we met Mario, the gardener who is possibly the nicest man I’ve met. We took a photo of him as I want to draw his lovely face. Great restaurants, lovely people and the most relaxed time. We wouldn’t actually change a thing and we thank you so much Noel for a perfect holiday xxxx
