A villa listing is a sales document, and like any sales document it is built as much on omission as on claim. Once you know what is missing, you can read one in about ninety seconds.
The photographs
Count the exterior shots taken from the same corner. One hero angle, repeated, usually means the other angles are less flattering -- a road, a neighbour, a retaining wall. Ask for a short video walk from the gate to the pool. What the owner films casually tells you more than what the agency shot on a drone at golden hour.
The words
"Moments from the sea" is a distance measured in optimism, not metres.
Trust nouns, distrust adverbs. "Five bedrooms" is a fact; "effortlessly stylish" is a mood. And always ask the two questions the listing will not answer: how loud is it at night, and what is the walk back up the hill after dinner.
