I recently had the displeasure of staying at Poderi in the countryside of Italy, and I must say that the experience was highly disappointing. The pictures on the hotel's website were a far cry from the reality of the room.
Upon arrival, I was initially charmed with the exterior that gave off the promise of a tranquil and picturesque stay in the Italian countryside. However, the room I was given did not match the idyllic image that the hotel's website had painted.
The room was small, no character, outdated, and lacked any semblance of charm that I had expected. The furniture appeared to be from a bygone era and desperately needed an upgrade. The bed was uncomfortable, with a lumpy mattress and scratchy bedding. It was just a ROOM and that's it.
The bathroom was another disappointment. It was cramped, and the fixtures were in dire need of repair. The shower was barely functional, with inconsistent water pressure and temperature. It was a challenge to take a comfortable shower after a long day of exploring the countryside. The shower was a death trap. With the slippery green glass like tile that transitions to a shower water pan you could easily fall or slip with just a little bit of soap.
If you plan on the WIFI good luck, it was nonexistent in my room until I went outside.
Furthermore, the view from my room was eh ok. I had a view of a dilapidated outbuilding and a parking lot.
