Villaggio Club Dei Pini

The spot is handy, with the beach, shops, and restaurants nearby, plus a pool. But the air conditioning didn’t work, and neither did the stove because its extension cord was broken. We reported both problems and got no response.

The grounds are really green, and shops, pizzerias, and restaurants are close by. The beach is around 500 meters away. We stayed for a week and liked having air conditioning, a big pool, and a terrace with loungers and a barbecue area. The property itself feels dated. The kitchen gear and furniture need replacing, and the bedroom furniture looks like it’s from the 1990s.

The beach is very close, and there are good restaurants and shops within walking distance. A great resort with a pool.

The pool and terrace were okay, but the apartment was damaged in places, old, and questionable in terms of cleanliness. We’d paid extra for a six-person house because the website said it was renovated. When we raised this, they ignored us and acted like they didn’t understand. Nights were extremely noisy, so it wouldn’t suit light sleepers. For the price, even outside peak season, I wouldn’t recommend it. The service was awful. We were allowed in early, which earned the one star, but then had to find the house ourselves with no directions or map. In 30-degree heat with a toddler, that was miserable. At check-in, they forgot the beach pass, high chair, towels, and other things, and didn’t explain the trash or gas. We assumed the extras we’d booked online would be there, but apparently the tool hadn’t worked. We went back to explain everything again and had to pay, mostly in cash because they wouldn’t take cards. Such a shame.
