Maranjo--The maid service is every other day. There is a gate for the community AND a gate for the villa, as well as security shutters for all windows and doors. I have felt extremely secure. There is no caretaker on property, although the owner lives somewhere close and there is a local French phone here at the villa, that you can call him if need be. There is one villa off to the left, very close, but there has been no one there since we have been here. I understand that villa has a very low occupancy rate. Someone who has stayed here before said they didn't even know that villa was there ,the first time they stayed here because the vegetation hit it so thoroughly. Now the vegetation isn't as thick, because it hasn't rained. Other than someone with binoculars on Happy Bay or on a boat going past, it is impossible for anyone to see you, whatever your state of dress or Undress. It is VERY quiet here. You do not hear anything most of the time, other than an occasional barking dog, and an occasional sounds from a villa that are constructing quite a ways away, or a far away plane coming in to Grand Case airport. The predominant sound is a little waterfall in the back which trickles into a fish pond, where there are koy (??) that you can feed if you like. It is very peaceful.
