The villa is lovely and a short walk to a nice quite beach. There is pizza place up the road which is great but for anything else you will need a car. We did not come across any other English speaking people when in this area which was good for my husbands Italian. Our 4 year old slept in the living room on a fold out bed which was fine as the second bedroom has a ladder up to it and is very small. This didn't bother us as the outside space is fabulous. A big table under a veranda with over head fans. There is also an outside toilet and shower which is great after a day at the beach. There is a bbq but we didn't use this and another table and chairs further down the garden. Costa Rei is a 10 min drive alway with all you need for restaurants, shopping and of course more beaches. We had great weather except for a couple of windy days and also did some great boat trips and went river kayaking which I would highly recommend.
