Reviews of Villa Donna Paola

  • Emma from Ireland – 9 May 2025 (10/10)

    The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The interior decor was stunning. The outdoor area and pool were fabulous. The view of the old town from the terrace and bedrooms was amazing.

    What could be improved: The dishwasher didn't really work for us.

  • James from United Kingdom – 4 October 2024 (10/10)

    The villa pool and patio were amazing, from the chairs, beds and outside dining and the quite well established garden.

    The villa was beautifully appointed with interesting art and decarations.

    It was a perfect location for the old town and beach.

    The hosts were very attentive and helpful.

    What could be improved: The mosquitos were very active. The provision of mosquito coils would have been a very thoughtful inclusion to the property facilities.

  • George from United States – 25 June 2024 (10/10)

    We loved the outdoor living and the pool.

    What could be improved: The stairs leading up to the house.

  • Joanne from United Kingdom – 24 May 2024 (10/10)

    the villa was amazing – the bedrooms and lounge area with several tables to eat at were fantastic
    The dressing gowns were welcomed
    and the location was absolutely ideal
    Everything was very clean and tidy

    What could be improved: The glasses are a mis-match and not enough wine glasses

  • Paul from United Kingdom – 15 May 2023 (9/10)

    Location

    What could be improved: No hot water for first hour on arrival.

  • Sharon from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (7/10)

    Location

    What could be improved: Garden messy … basic … old and tired. Tiles in pool were constantly lifting. We collected about 8/10 tiles that fell off. Master bedroom shower tiny

  • Viviane from Germany – 4 September 2023 (10/10)

    Das Haus ist unglaublich gepflegt und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Eine wirklich besondere Unterkunft. Der Pool ist groß genug um echte Bahnen zu ziehen und hat seinen Namen mehr als verdient. Alles war extrem sauber und wertig.
    Die Services wie das Übernehmen des ersten Einkaufs und der zugehörige Shuttle Service waren großartig. Die Lage zur Altstadt geht wohl auch kaum besser.
