There is no pool fence around the pools and the pond, and there is a drop of about 2m from the raised beach to the sea, so children would need to be supervised. Villa Talia Vashti has a supreme oceanfront location, allowing seclusion and privacy for guests for guests wanting to relax. However, if you want to explore with Mendira beach within walking distance and Candidasa just a couple of minute's drive away, you have an ideal location to explore the island.   Guest access Guests have full and exclusive access to the whole villa - it is your villa alone when you stay there. Other things to note Please note:  The standard villa nightly rate is based on the use of 3 bedrooms and maximum six adults, however there is an option for two extra beds (suitable for children/teenagers only) in an annex from the main bedroom.  This annex can accommodate up to two extra beds, and guests staying here would share the bathroom in the main bedroom. Alternatively an extra bed can also be added to any bedroom upon request. Extra charges apply for extra beds/bedroom. SMOKING IS IN OUTSIDE AREAS ONLY ALL MEALS INCLUDING BREAKFAST ARE AGAINST CHARGE. We operate a groceries system at our villa, which means that you only pay for the actual receipts for groceries and drinks and a 20% villa charge which covers costs without a receipt (such as transport fuel) and maintaining a stock of standard ingredients, with anything left going to the staff, and for that our team will go out and purchase the groceries, prepare, cook, serve the meals and drinks, and then clear up afterwards.
