Just had a fabulous week at the villa lulu The fact that you are picked up at the airport (and dropped off at the end of the week) with you hire car waiting at the villa takes any possible stress away. The villa itself is spacious and comfortable and Oasis de Nazaret is the perfect place for those looking for a quiet away from it all holiday. There are two great restaurants within easy walking distance and the service in the Barstro is just wonderful. We shall be back!

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't on our side and hadn't been for a few weeks. The villa is in need of attention in many areas - mattresses should be renewed, I found the mattress in the master had a plastic protective cover which meant that the bedding became clammy overnight, upon removing the cover I found the mattress 'stained'. Duvets only just covered the surface of the beds. The curtains were covered in mould at the base due to the condensation on the windows. The heating was inadequate (none in the bathrooms). Clothes hung in the wardrobe felt damp to the touch. The showers were tiny and only had a base and a shower curtain, so water went everywhere as the curtain stuck to you, so had to be mopped up after every use. The hot water ran brown...so bath was not an option...it was also not pleasant to wash up in. Beware - Hot water gets extremely hot. The electrics tripped out if you had more than one appliance on in the kitchen. The grill in the cooker did not work and it looked like a fire had taken place in the oven at some stage. The dvd player worked intermittently. SKY box was only tuned into news channels...unless you can understand spanish. The bbq is falling apart and very rusty. The pool area was very nice. I imagine in the summer, the damp issues etc are not a problem.

We stayed at this villa in october 2012 and were very happy to stay at this villa. Our two little children loved the swimming pool and we were very glad with the astroturf garden since one of our boys had broken his arm a couple of weeks earlier and we didn't want him to break it again. The house is clean and spacious enough for our family of 4. You could easily stay here with 6 people as there are 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms. We were picked up by Mark, the other manager of the house at the airport and the car we hired from them was ready at the house. On request he brought some extra toys for the children which they liked very much. When the car showed a an alarm signal in the dashboard, Mark came within 10 minutes to the villa to fix it.

What we liked most:

- the astroturf garden with swimming pool

- the view

- the privacy

- the swift response from Mark and excellent service

What could be better:

- the house is really without any foodstuff or provisions; no salt and pepper, no olive oil, no detergents etc. Don't expect any left overs...

- the car hire was not a new car but a rather used one that drove OK but did give the signal problem mentioned earlier, it was a very cheap deal though

- the twin bed could be a bit broader (a think it was 140 cm)

- the swimming pool was a bit cloudy the first time, when we mentioned it Mark said he put on the filter but we didn't really notice it

- the window locks seemed not very secure

- there we a number of light bulbs that didn't word, Mark fixed immediately when we mentioned it the second day

We also met Peter as he drove us the airport on the last day. He didn't say much at the beginning but we had a nice conversation in the car. I can not imagine he would attack children as mentioned here above.

We would definetely come back here!

the villa is scruffy it has fleas in the bed linen cockroaches living in the shower rooms it has one fan you get hot water for a couple of days then the gas runs out, the manager is an aggresive abusive man if you complain he shouts he attacked my son and shouted at my 3yr old daughter i would tell anyone never to go to villa lulu casa christophe and casa cobra as its the worst experience my family and i have ever had
