WARNING Villa Via Ferrata Domaine Alicia Corsica France

Hi, My wife & I originally booked reservation id #5697491 property # 551832 Villa ' L ' alivu from 09/06/25 to 23/06/25 - 14 nights. Which on arrival at the site Domaine Alicia we were told by Armand Tumeo was unavailable due to the Hot Tub being broken by the previous occupants children. We were escorted to another villa " Via Ferrata " property # 5520655 without any options. This was meant to be an " Upgrade " as it had listed, Air Conditioning, Fire Place, Beach & Mountain views. The mountain view was only visible from the back of the villa. Well all four listed was not available. Air condition was a priority considering the outside temperature 28 / 30c.
The mega problem was the " Ant Infestation " they were everywhere outside & inside Villa Via Ferrata. On the terrace at the table / front door, around the Hot Tub in the pool at the bottom dead & at the water level, gazebo, far side of the pool, car parking, dry washing area.
Inside the villa KITCHEN behind & around the fridge freezer, cupboards & drawers, dish washer, on the floor around the kitchen units kick plates. They were coming from out from the light switch & electrical sockets. Called Armand several times which he responded to immediately, sprayed Heavy toxic chemical on several occasions to eradicate the ants to no avail, they just kept on coming back. Armand tried so desperately hard to help us, he exhausted his options. We also discovered in the utility room some pink packages of " Rodent Poisons " which were actually opened. But his boss host Jean Francois was not interested in our plight. The Hot Tub plug blew up on the Saturday 21/06/25 Whilst I was in it... dangerously close. Which had tripped the fuses in the villa, Armand to the rescue, again.
This needs to be addressed immediately, so no other client has to go through this ordeal. Either the host is removed from the rental platforms or he cleans his villa up to Holidu / VRBO Highest standards. Simply not acceptable for any client member of VRBO having to pay out large sums of there hard earned money to the likes of Jean Francois. This is not the high service that we are accustomed to from VRBO / HOLIDU Simply not acceptable. Apologies does not come anywhere near resolving this issue my wife and I had to endure.
VRBO / HOLIDU NOT WORTH THE HASSLE OR GRIEVE. RECOMMEND DO NOT USE.👀
It would appear either VRBO & HOLIDU HAVE TAKEN UPON THEM SELVES TO RELEASE A REVIEW 04/08/25 OF 2/10 TERRIBLE against Villa 'L alivu Which we did not sanction or consent to or agree too, We requested that this review is REMOVED Immediately, as we were moved to Villa Via Ferrata NOW THAT IS REALLY BAD, TERRIBLE.. Please STAY CLEAR OF VILLA VIA FERRATA..ANTS

Gillies were exceptionally brilliant

Gillies were brilliant to deal with. From the salesman Neil Patterson to the delivery guy's. Delivery was very prompt and speedy in and out in no time at all.
Extremely professional from all staff concerned.
