Nigel Hubble - Villa Owner

"Here we are again, our 6th visit. Just so wonderful never want to go home. We didn’t even want to leave the Villa to eat. Just sat here most of the time. In the pool, relaxing on the lanai. In the evenings sitting on the dock and thinking of absent friends. Thank you Susann so much."

Malc & Jen Reynolds, Northampton, UK - September/October 2011

"Wonderful Villa very relaxing. Bit unlucky with the weather so didn’t get to use the pool as much as we would of liked (lots of rain). So much space here, we are wondering how we will cope when we get back to our house in England. Many thanks for letting us use your villa we would recommend to anyone. PS some more t-towels would be good as dishwasher was broken. OOPS! Just found them on last day !!"

Weather was fabulous, only 1 day of rain the entire time and oh so warm and sunny. Loved every second of our vacation here. Wish we had discovered Villa Tropicana sooner."
