Small village, family atmosphere
5 / 5 ★
Small village of 49 villas.<br /> Ability to know everyone,<br /> just like being in a family.<br /> No regrets in coming here.<br /> Big, spacious villas with lots<br /> of storage.

4 / 5 ★
We signed the conditions knowing what they were. License to occupy. Raid out 30% of purchase price, but repayments could take over 12 months.

Good social atmosphere
4 / 5 ★
Maintenance and upkeep of the village could be improved. Being a small village enables a very good social atmosphere.
