Panorama stupendo

Eravamo in quattro, ma mancava qualche utenza per la cucina

Location and clean and comfortable

amazing location, exceeded all expectations. would stay again anytime

The real benefit of this flat is its location. It sits on the 1st floor of a block with a balcony overlooking the bay at Marina del Cantone. The beach below is pebbly and there is a bar and a restaurant directly below. Davide, the property manager was very pleasant and spent time to explain about the flat. We had to ask him to return for reasons we mention in the 'didn't like' section, but he did so very voluntarily, which was very welcome. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows.

It is obvious that the flat needs a major refurbishment. It is very tired in its decor - cracked plaster pillars on the balcony, and the furnishings and kitchen equipment are very basic. When we arrived, Davide pointed out that the oven as not working, which for a self catered apartment is pretty useless. After he left, we realised that a) the gas hob didn't work and b) there was no hot water. The latter really caused us an issue as we had travelled from afar and wanted to shower before going out to dinner. We spoke to Davide who returned immediately and established that the owners had turned the gas and the boiler off without letting him know - pretty poor show on the owners part. The hot water took about 2 hours to warm up. In the master bedroom, there were 3 hangers which my wife used so i lived out of my suitacse. The main bedroom light wasn't working:the balcony table was dirty;the shutter in the spare bedroom was broken. There is no TV. Finally the common parts were stacked with old furniture and it reeked of cigarettes - i appreciate that this is beyond the owners' control. Bearing in mind the cost of the flat (expensive!), i would never stay here again, unless it was confirmed that the flat had undergone some serious investment. As a holiday property owner in Italy, i would never allow my property to be let in this state. I hope the owners take heed and invest some cash in the property.
