We rented this villa in Juli 2022 with our 3 teenaged sons. It is a well-equipped house with a nice pool, although too small for 10 people. Initially we enjoyed our holiday until we got robbed. Two MacBook Air, an iPad, an ereader, a rucksack and a wallet with ID and some cash was stolen. In value more then the rent! Horrible experience! But although the owner immediately arranged for a neighbor to come over, the owner concluded, all the way from the United Kingdom, that there were no traces of burglary, without speaking to us, only to the neighbor. We did lock all the doors but did not close the shutters at the back door. And that was, according to him, the invitation for the burglars. However, those shutters can’t be locked! And when closed, they can be easily opened with a screwdriver or even simply by hand. After that opening the locked door is a piece of cake as it is a flimsy door without any security pins or solid locks, whatsoever.
The owner was no help with the police although he is half Italian and speaks the language.
Afterwards we got a bill for repairs to a door that was, according to the owner, not damaged!
We think that the owner is responsible for offering proper security and a flimsy door and shutters that can be easily opened. Moreover if the shutters are such an important part of the security the owners should have put up a white sign as they have all over the house indicating proper use of things.
The fact that we were robbed was shocking but the reaction of the owners was appalling!
