Together with my wife, her sister, and our (small) dog, I spent the last two weeks of August 2015 in Villa Marlix.
The booking/paying was no problem, since the owner responded immidiately to all our questions via email, and the contract arrived within a short time-scale. Since the owner(s) live just beside the Villa in a seperate house (which turned out to be very advantageous, see below), there was no problem in recieving the keys and an introduction to all machinery after arriving.
The house itself is very nice, with a big garden, a terrace, a jacuzzi and a small pool.The interior is excellently designed (2 separate bedrooms with 4 beds in total), and particularly the bath and the kitchen are perfectly equipped. (Indeed, I never found a kitchen in a holiday home that had more devices and tools). The Wifi worked without problems, and there is the possibility to phone abroad (landline) for free.
The beach (Les Sablettes) is 3.8 kms (10 minutes) away and very nice. (Hint: to find a parking lot without a longer search, one has to be at the beach before 10 am). One intermediate-size supermarket is located just on the route to the beach (7 minutes away), and two big-size supermarkets are 12 minutes (close to the motorway) away. There are also a couple of restaurants within 15 minutes reach.
The owners are *very* friendly and helpful. If one wants to be alone, they leave you alone, but if you want to have an apperitive or have some problems, they are of immidiate help. We had two very nice evenings with the owners (they speak fluently English, and also Italian), and they helped me a lot when I had an issue with my own car (finding a car to rent, helping me in the conversation with the workshop, and giving me a lift to the rent-station and the workshop).
Overall, we had perfect holidays in Villa Marlix, and nothing to complain at all! A stay at Villa Marlix can be 100% recommended!
Mariella, Michel and Rene, many thanks again for your hospitality and help!!!!
