Luxury B&B Villa Tauro

Lovely lady to welcome us Lovely breakfast Lovely pool Room super

Didn’t like the fact it was on top of a hill for walking home Air con was on a timer which I didn’t appreciate as I suffer from hot flushes

Nice room, large bathroom. Good breakfast.

The owners seemed a bit offhand and not particularly welcoming. We assumed they had a busy season and were a bit fed up with guests.

+ Jean-Paul and Amber sind sehr nette Gastgeber bei denen man sich Willkommen fühlt + Obwohl wir später angereist sich (es wurde früher auch so kommuniziert) - hat Amber sehr gute und genaue Anweisungen per Telefon gegeben wie wir in unser Zimmer kommen können + Das Zimmer und das Badezimmer an sich haben eine sehr gute Größe / viele Anlagemöglichkeiten + gut funktionierende Klimaanlage + TV (welches wir gar nicht genutzt haben) + sehr leckeres hausgemachtes Frühstück was persönlich von Amber am eignen Tisch vor dem Zimmer serviert wird / Kaffeemaschine + Tabs im Zimmer + Duschgel / Shampoo von Zara - sehr schöner Duft + Auto konnte direkt vor der Tür am Straßenrand geparkt werden - jeden Tag ohne Probleme + ein kleines Geschäft ist zu Fuß erreichbar / für weiteres wird ein Auto benötigt + Abends wird die Anlage sehr schön beleuchtet + Kostenlose Zugang zum Jacuzzi + Minibar im Gemeinschaftsrecht (Wasser / Bier / Wein, Softgetränke, und vieles mehr für "normales" Geld - auf Vertrauensbasis (Strich-Zettel pro Zimmer)

- Leider kein eigner Kühlschrak im Zimmer - Man ist auf ein Auto angewiesen, da in der näheren Umgebung leider nichts vorhanden ist - beim Frühstück muss man aufpassen dass die vorbeifliegenden Vögel es nicht "klauen" ;-)

We liked the views, the plants and the pool.

The owner, who lives at the property with his wife and dogs lacked hospitality, was prejudiced, patronising and cold. No warm welcome or goodbye, no interest in us and no attentiveness. He was constantly there and at times watching from his balcony. So we couldn't relax entirely. Breakfast was not buffet style as per pictures. It was served as a set menu of whatever the owner decides on the day and was simple and limited. When we requested one he made previously he refused. There was a coffee machine with 4 pods but no kettle to make tea (but a few random tea bags were thrown in), no freshly made tea or coffee offered with breakfast. No iron, no hair conditioner and the bath mat was torn. There was dirt in some corners, stains on sideboard and no extractor fan in the bathroom, hence a smell of mustiness but we weren't allowed to open the door when the AC was on. So we had to choose between letting air in or being comfortably cool. The cupboard for clothes was inside the bathroom, so clothes would smell of damp. The front gate is unlocked, the side gate could be opened by putting your hand through so it didn't feel 100% secure. The owner's large intimidating dog was left in the front garden on our departure so my daughter and I were frightened and had to phone them to take it in. Instead of checking how our stay was and wishing us safe trip home, the owner proceeded to coldly question us if we left the keys in and if we had anything outstanding to pay from the CCTV-monitored bar. We didn't feel welcomed or valued as paying customers, as though second class citizens.
