not terribly recent, but we stayed at magic villa 1 in the summer of 2008. it was great. very clean. wonderfully appointed. easy to deal with as far as payment and arrangements to get into. we would certainly stay in that villa or any of their other properties again. the website is tacky in my opinion, but the pictures were true to life (not like some i have heard about...pics were from years ago and when arrived house was worn down.)
