Villa Juli Guesthouse

Villa Juli was such a little paradise! The decor of our room (Place Pigalle) was beautiful, with terra cotta tile floors and super cool floral wall paper. HUGE bathroom with very stylish finishes, and a double shower. There is a well-equipped communal kitchen for the three units, and dining tables on a beautiful terrace overlooking the hillside with distant views of the ocean. We actually ended up cooking dinner in every night, which made the trip even more relaxing. (The minibar had bottles of tasty rose for drinking.) The owners were so cool and friendly and served us very nice breakfasts every morning. The most special part was that I actually left my wedding rings in our room by accident, and we weren't able to drive back when I realized I did. Lisa was kind enough to ship me my rings back to the U.S. right away. So kind of her. If you appreciate both modern amenities and high style, but also want to relax and enjoy the simple bounty of life around Speracedes, this is a perfect place for you.

We had the Abbey Road room, nicely decorated in a Beatles theme. No closet, but a nice dresser, wall hooks, robes, lots of mirrors, a very nice bathroom (with heated floors!) and shower, easy login WiFi. The owners, Lisa and Niclas, speak perfect English (and Swedish) and were very helpful with sightseeing suggestions and directions. Common areas feature cocktail tables and chairs where you can sit after a hard day of sightseeing and unwind with a glass of wine. A complete guest kitchen is present, featuring a full size refrigerator and stove, glasses and utensils, and a washing machine! Parking was under construction, so we had to park up the hill, and they would shuttle us up to pick up the car. Construction will be completed soon. The motion detector/video camera, part of the security system, in the corner of the room was a little creepy, and while we are certain that we would not be filmed, we put a hat over the lens anyway!
