Felt like Italy
Loved the place. It felt like we were in Italy. The restaurant for dinner is however extremely expensive. But we really enjoyed the stay.

Not what is advertised
Had no coffee in my room and reception not after hour staff or manager was available to arrange. The gym was so dirty that you didn’t want to use equipment, dust, spider webs etc. Treadmill doesn’t work either. Room was nice.

The staff were exceptional. The hotel is a little difficult to find but worth the effort. The gardens , pool area and choice of eating locations provide a relaxing feeling. The constant 'music' spoiled the atmosphere slightly.

Disappointing experience
The experience wasnt so good, on arrival no one was at the reception. The first room that I was given, the WC was dirty and stink with water on the floor.
I had to ask for other room which was given. But this is concerning special on this COVID period. If they dont make sure the rooms are clean and safe for covid, this will affect customers experience.
PS: This was not the first time I stay at this hotel, the other times the experience was good.

nights on business
Second time I’ve stayed at La Villa Vita. Despite Covid restrictions, the staff were friendly and accommodating. My room was clean and comfortable, and the AC worked perfectly in the hot humid conditions that are common in this part of the world.
Perhaps the only small criticism I have is that there was no desk in the room. The wifi worked great though.
The breakfast (free on my booking) was very good.
