Guest Reviews
Location
Breakfast
Guests particularly enjoy the experience when weather permits breakfast on the terrace, offering a pleasant ambiance complemented by beautiful views. Friendly and attentive staff further enhance the dining experience, making sure guests' needs are met and maintaining a well-organized buffet. However, some reviews mention minor critiques, such as occasional delays in replenishment and a somewhat industrial feel to some items.

The breakfast at Villa Sylva & Spa is generally seen as delicious, extensive and a highlight of the stay with many guests noting it met or exceeded their expectations.
Dinner
Rooms
However, some rooms are noted to be smaller and less soundproofed than expected with occasional complaints about outdated furnishings and minor maintenance issues. There have been mentions of insufficient air conditioning, basic room decor and limited storage space. Noise from the street or nearby areas can be a disturbance in certain rooms and some ground-floor rooms lack privacy. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the overall sentiment remains positive due to the hotel's beautiful structure, sea views and spacious, well-kept rooms.
Beds
Several guests commented on the comfort of the mattresses, although mentions of firmness varied—with some finding the mattresses too firm, while others noted them as not very hard or too soft. Despite these differing preferences, the overall comfort seems unaffected for most guests.
However, a recurring point of concern among reviewers is the tendency of the beds to creak loudly with movement, which could be a potential disturbance. Additionally, there were isolated reports of cleanliness issues concerning bed linens and some discomfort with the firmness of the pillows and beds.
On the plus side, rooms with garden views and sea views add to the charm and comfort of the bedding experience. Overall, despite minor issues, Villa Sylva & Spa generally impresses with its well-being and comfort, making it a solid choice for travelers prioritizing a restful stay.
Cleanliness
However, there are some criticisms. Several reviews mention issues such as average cleanliness, unclean rooms and specific problems with housekeeping. Instances of unclean bathrooms, unpleasant odors and cleanliness oversight such as dust and remnants from previous guests have been noted. There were also reports of pests like ants and roaches and complaints about stagnant water on the spa floor.
Despite these points of criticism, the hotel generally maintains a positive reputation for cleanliness with many guests citing the clean and modern feel of the property, as well as the well-kept facilities and common areas.
Staff

Spa
Guests appreciate the modern equipment and the overall serene and zen ambiance of the spa. Many found it to be a relaxing retreat and a delightful addition to their stay. The private booking option and the possibility of privatizing the Jacuzzi are also mentioned positively, offering a more exclusive experience.
However, there are some mixed opinions regarding the additional cost of accessing the spa with some guests finding it a bit overpriced or convoluted with pricing information. A few reviews mentioned the limited availability of massage services and the non-inclusiveness of spa use in the room price, which detracted slightly from the experience.
Despite these minor critiques, the majority of guests consider the spa to be well worth the visit, praising it for its clean and well-maintained facilities, albeit small in size. With its splendid views and a tranquil environment, the spa continues to be recommended for those seeking relaxation and wellness during their stay at Villa Sylva & Spa.

Parking
There are two primary types of parking: secure private parking within the facility and free parking in the vicinity. Some guests appreciated the spacious private parking areas with secure gates, making it ideal for both cars and motorcycles. The convenience of parking directly at the hotel or right in front of the house was a recurring positive note with many mentioning how easy and straightforward it was.
However, there are some points to be aware of. Parking at the hotel often comes with a fee of around 8 to 10 euros per day, which some guests felt was not well communicated in advance and might be considered a downside. Despite the security and convenience, the paid parking was seen as somewhat expensive by a few visitors. There were also mentions of limited parking availability at peak times and the need for clearer signage and better information regarding parking options and costs.
Overall, while the parking at Villa Sylva & Spa is generally praised for its convenience and security, prospective guests might want to clarify the costs and availability ahead of their stay to avoid any surprises.

Business
Accessible
However, there were numerous mentions of how the hotel's accessibility could be improved. Issues such as small shower cabins, inaccessible bathrooms and doors and rooms situated on higher floors presented difficulties.

In summary, while there are some accessible features and a convenient proximity to the city center, the hotel needs to improve its facilities to better accommodate guests with disabilities.
