Absolutely beautiful villa! We had the most amazing stay at Mandavilla. The pictures don’t do it justice. Super clean, amazing balcony with fantastic views, awesome pool and deck area. Emily has provided everything you could possibly need from insulated coolers to beach chairs for your use. We are already planning a return trip!
