Villa Romantica

It's beautiful and peaceful here. Just bear in mind there's only one bedroom.

We had to get our own bedding, pillows, and disinfectant because the place was so poorly cleaned. The sofa was horribly dirty, and the loft had a bad smell. They advertise sleeping space for five, but five people can't sleep there like that. The listing isn't what it seems. The old jacuzzi was cold, and there were very few kitchen utensils, all very poor quality.

I've stayed in both houses they manage under that name. The bigger one is perfect for a getaway, but the smaller place was a huge disappointment. Its jacuzzi is broken and won't heat up. We checked older reviews and found the same problem had apparently been going on for years, yet they keep offering the house. The cleaning is poor, and the facilities don't justify the price.

There are ants on the kitchen counter, cobwebs around the house, and cigarette burns on sheets, even though we don't smoke. The cleaning isn't thorough. It's also very dark and has no windows, like a converted barn. The water heater is so small you can't shower and wash your hair, and although we were told the shower was new, part of its edge is broken. We couldn't use the jacuzzi because it wouldn't heat up. We told the company at 9:00 AM, but they didn't come until 7:30 PM. Other reviews suggest they've known about the issue for years. If you're booking for the jacuzzi, don't pay extra: hotels offer one on the terrace for the same price or less. The barbecue is at the front of the house, while the other facilities are on the opposite side.
