Villa I Due Pini

The place didn’t feel clean when we arrived, with dust and debris around, and there wasn’t even a dish towel. We had to leave the wet dishes to dry on their own. We were also expected to take out the garbage ourselves, which I didn’t expect from a hospitality place. Sheets weren’t changed weekly unless we paid an extra €10 per person, which seemed excessive. The shower was nearly impossible to use because the water swung from freezing to boiling within seconds. The drying rack was unstable and felt like it could fall with even a little weight. The air conditioner leaked and dripped, making the room uncomfortable and potentially slippery. Overall, management seemed poor and there was almost no attention to guest comfort.

Avoid this place at all costs. The apartment was much smaller than the photos suggested, and there was a strong smell throughout, like disinfectant for garbage containers. I had booked for myself and my young son. The host wasn’t cooperative and said she hadn’t aired it out, but even after hours with the windows open, the smell wouldn’t go away. I found it dangerous for a child, and really for anyone. We had to leave that same day, and she refused to refund us. It felt like a real scam, and I regret not reading the many negative reviews on this page first. The cleanliness was poor too. Stay away!

The place itself is nice, with outdoor areas and a barbecue, though it’s a bit far from the sea. But there were plenty of problems. We booked one day on Booking.com for €45.00, then were asked for another €28.00 for a cleaning fee we hadn’t requested, even though those fees are usually included. So be careful. The bathroom is small and has no bidet, and the tap water is salty. The bedroom and bathroom have no windows. The TV in the kitchen is tiny. We found the small towels dirty and had to call management to get them changed. What a joke.

This was a bad experience, and I’ll never come back. The place isn’t suitable for more than two people, for families, or for stays longer than four or five days. It’s about 700 meters from the beach and far from the village on foot. There are almost no comforts: no washing machine or bidet, no proper kitchen, and the stovetops didn’t work properly. The apartments have salty, non-drinking water, but the managers gave no warning when we booked or with signs on site. There was no privacy either, with glass doors facing a public parking lot and no proper screens. Dust came in through the windows, and in the bedroom the sputter was directed at the head. I booked in February for July and asked for details about “the apartment,” but they left out that it was only suitable for a few days. The people managing it were completely inadequate and showed little patience when I asked about all the missing items, always making it seem like a burden. Not serious at all.
