"Another day in Paradise"
"Another day in Paradise" - this is what we said in the morning as we had coffee and croissants looking out at the palm and cypress trees, the lush oleander flowers and the distant pine covered hills. This is truly a luxury villa, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for rest, relaxation and swimming in awesomely beautiful surroundings. The pool is big and wonderful, surrounded by lavender that you can smell as you swim, and there's a great table-tennis room for the energetic. The architecture and interior of the villa are gorgeous, and the entire property is so luxurious that you feel like you've stepped into a Hollywood movie.
I don't even like to say so, but a review must include the cons as well, so I should mention them. The main one is wifi, which was there but completely unreliable, so everyone had to use 4G mobile data all the time. While the air conditioning was fine in the bedrooms, the rest of the house had no air conditioning. I think that a 'luxury villa' should be air-conditioned throughout the whole house, because it's very hot there. We were given a couple of fans, but this is not really effective in a heatwave. The other problem was the absence of an oven. There was a microwave oven with a grill, but this offers limited possibilities for cooking. I think a fully fitted kitchen should have a proper oven.
But these things aside, this villa is a dream, the interior decor is lovely, the beds very comfortable, and the pool, gardens and panoramic views really stunning. I often feel ready to go home at the end of a holiday, but I can say in all honesty that none of us wanted to leave the Villa Aramis. So thank you, Etoiles du Sud, for a truly unforgettable holiday.
