La Villetta appartamenti per vacanze

We wouldn’t choose this apartment for another summer holiday. This was our fifth year in Finale Ligure, and we’ve found better places there for less. The price felt far too high for what we got. It was worn and not clean. Several chairs were coming apart, some lights didn’t work, and parts of the washing machine were held together with tape. The internet was down, so we went to a nearby beach bar to check email. The apartment also came with almost none of the basics: we had to buy things like toilet paper and detergent, and bring our own towels and sheets. There’s no free parking close by. The car can be left at the hotel, but that’s a 15-minute uphill walk from the apartment, which wasn’t practical when we wanted to drive out on excursions. Communication with the host was patchy. We waited days for an answer about the internet, and on our last day the reply was that they would take a look. Paying was confusing too. We said we’d pay by credit card and did so right away, but then the host said she couldn’t check the payment until Monday and that we couldn’t leave like that. It seemed strange after we’d stayed for two weeks, with plenty of time to arrange payment.
