This is the wierd one. I'm not sure if it's just our villa, but there are no ceiling lights in the villa and all the lights are either bedside lights or lights on stands. Nothing particularly unusual about that, nor about the fact that the power sockets don't have switches you just plug in and go. Where it does got unusual is that some of the power sockets are connected to what we would deem a normal light switch and are supposed to have lights attached to them. This would work fine if they always did, but they don't.
We spent the first 3 days thinking that some of the sockets were on timers because sometimes they would work and other times they wouldn't. What we now realise is that they were attached to the light switch and if somebody walked into the room and turned the switch up or down, then the socket would go off or on depending on its previous state. As most of the appliances we've bought are for charging batteries for cameras or PC's it isn't obvious when the power gets turned off, so you think you're battery is charging when in fact its just sitting there connected to the wall. Anyway, we've got that one figured out, so we'll see if its the same at our next villa.
Appliance wise, we've got an odd toaster that doesn't pop, you have racks that you pull out of the toaster and the timer is literally a timer, you can hear it winding down. We don't have a microwave, but we do have an electric meat slicer - they're neat and of course a coffee machine.
