Great villa, amazing property. However, the villa is listed within walking distance from the main attraction area where all the restaurants and bars are, but it is more like a 15-20 min walk down a few hills and main roads with traffic. Also the beach club that is advertised with the infinity pool is not attached to the villa it is also a 21 min walk.
