The property was centrally located minutes walk for the station and easy walking distance from many of the local attractions.
I received an email a few days before my arrival asking me to confirm my arrival time. This was in Italian, but Google translate helped me to reply.
When we arrived an elderly gentleman was there to greet us, his English was poor, we struggled to read the WiFi password and then he left us to it.
We later discovered the WiFi password is the bedside cabinet.
The room was freezing.
It was in the shaded part of the building so it was so cold. The heater they left didn’t work.
I phoned and was told someone would be ther in 30 minutes.
No one came. I phoned, no one answered.
I was so cold that we left to go outside as it was much warmer in the sunshine.
We decided to buy an electric fan heater as the cold was unbearable.
When we arrived back, they explained that the central heating system was set to come on at specific times and could not be adjusted.
It went off at 9pm.
This is an old stone building, with very high ceilings.
This wasn’t adequate for this time of year, Summer certainly.
This is a tradition Italian building and breakfast was in the same style. We loved our stay, it was convenient, clean, welcoming but the coldness of the room was unbearable.
If we didn’t buy the heater we would have paid for another hotel
It’s different from my modern preference but the change was still nice.
But it is unbearably cold.
