Nos encontramos con varias cosas que hacen que nuestra valoraciĂłn no sea positiva.
Piero nos solicitĂł mas dinero por la limpieza de sabanas y toallas, cuando segĂșn la descripciĂłn del apartamento no aparecĂa este concepto. Anteriormente le habĂa enviado un mensaje preguntando si habĂa algĂșn gasto adicional ante el que no hubo respuesta. La informaciĂłn sobre el pago extra nos la dio el dia antes de viajar, con lo cual nos quedamos sin opciĂłn de mirar alternativas.
A pesar de que Piero nos dijo que no habĂa problema con el ruido del Pub de al lado, las noches de Viernes a Domingo hubo actuaciĂłn en directo. Esta bien si quieres oir mĂșsica mientras cenas, pero no si lo que quieres es dormir.
Lo peor. El apartamento decĂa tener dos baños, pero solo tenĂa 1. Parece que la confusiĂłn vino de que se consideraba una ducha en la terraza como un baño.
Tampoco habĂa microondas (a pesar de que la descripciĂłn lo indicaba), aunque en nuestro caso Piero ofreciĂł uno que rehusamos dado que no tenĂamos previsto realizar comidas en el apartamento.
Por Ășltimo el apartamento estĂĄ en el Ășltimo piso y no hay ascensor. Lo cierto es que es un apartamento con una decoraciĂłn sencilla, pero de buen gusto y con muy buenas vistas, lo cual hacĂa que la estancia fuera agradable. Pero estarĂa bien que la descripciĂłn del apartamento avisara sobre la falta de ascensor.
Los colchones no eran tampoco confortables.
En resumen. Piero es un buen anfitriĂłn y el recibimiento fue cordial y eficiente y nos dio mucha informaciĂłn para facilitar nuestra estancia. Sin embargo la valoraciĂłn general ha de ser negativa, basicamente por no cumplir las descripciĂłn anunciada, especialmente el nĂșmero de baños.

De werkelijkheid is totaal anders dan de titel doet vermoeden. Het huis is verre van luxe, sterker nog het is een vies en warm appartement op de tweede verdieping. We zijn daarom de volgende dag vertrokken en de rest van de vakantie in een heel leuk hotel verbleven in de buurt. Wel dien ik op te merken dat de verhuurder ons een
"gratis" verblijf in een ander huis heeft aangeboden op een ander tijdstip.
Firstly, I am so sorry to read about the fires that are troubling Sicily and Italy at the moment. We really enjoyed our visit to your island and hope to return and explore the East in the future.
As to the apartment. The location was great, the Windows opening in all directions was marvellous. My disappointment was in the poor and broken furnishings and the kitchen was not clean. The music from 'Why Not' went on until after 2a.m. but we had to keep all windows open as the air con was not effective.
Sorry to sound so negative. but I hope you will read this and make improvements as your property is really lovely.
