Condominio Franco

The €50 deposit came as a nasty surprise since it wasn't listed in the description. Without taking photos, I doubt you'd get that money back. There's no one to meet you at the apartment either, so you have to track everything down yourself, including the right keys from a ring of what felt like ten when only two were needed. The beach and sea view from the rooftop is stunning. That's the one good thing. Inside, the apartment is in very poor shape: the kitchen is barely usable, the shower hardly gives any water, and there's a strong sewage smell throughout. Opening the bathroom door makes it worse, and airing the place out doesn't fix it. The huge terrace is expected for a high-rise rooftop apartment, but it had a broken washing machine, a wrecked hot tub, and pigeons nesting and leaving droppings. I've visited Italy several times, but this place really isn't for the faint-hearted. Definitely never again.

At 150 meters from the beach, the apartment has a balcony with a sea view. Inside, it was clean and well equipped, with two bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom. There was parking, and the office staff were very friendly.

If you still have the option to cancel, take it and stay away. There are hidden charges all over the place.
