Bruno is an excellent person very caring and ready to help in every thing, when it was no bus to return he didn’t hesitate to come to the train station to pick me up. He gave me a very nice welcome and he help me during my check out taking me to the bus stop. The only problem is distance between main cities, so you will need a car because the transportation is very limited. Also he will need to ask the cleaning lady to do a deep cleaning specially removing the spider and cobwebs.

Uncomfortable place

The room was dark and not very clean. There was a bad smell, so the window had to be open. The window did not have a mosqito net or curtain. The shared bathroom had to be reached through the breakfast area. The breakfast was very limited (see foto). More breakfast would be extra charge. The water was tap water. The owner was very rude and the refrigerator where the breakfast was stored was really dirty. Compared to the hotel albergo restaurante poli in the same city it was so bad value for money.

Il nostro soggiorno durato una sola notte è stato uno dei piu brutti che abbiamo mai fatto. Inizamo dal fatto che abbiamo prenotato una camere con bagno privato, e nella mattinata mi è stato conferito che la camera mi sarebbe stata cambiata e mi è stata data una camera dove per andare in bagno bisognava uscire dalla stessa e andare giù per nn paralre del cattivo odore che avevano le lenzuola. Un soggiprno di 1 notte da dimenticare.

Poche pretese, buona posizione, buon prezzo

Sono stata in questo B&B solo 2 notti e durante il giorno siamo sempre stati fuori, per cui abbiamo vissuto la camera il giusto. In ogni modo posso dire che la strada per arrivare al b&b è terribile, una strada sterrata e stretta con una grande pendenza, per questo consiglio di lasciare la macchina in piazza, inoltre il portone di accesso non è molto visibile (sarebbe opportuna una targhetta?). Il signor Bruno è stato molto accogliente e cordiale con noi, ci ha consigliato posti da visitare e ci ha raccontato la storia della casa. Avevamo il bagno esterno alla camera ma comunque ad uso esclusivo e sullo stesso piano. La porta di ingresso è sempre stata socchiusa, mai chiusa a chiave, e la porta di camera (anch'essa senza chiave) si chiudeva con un semplice chiavistello. Anche il bagno non aveva una chiave, ma essendo di uso solo nostro non abbiamo avuto problemi. La pulizia lasciava un po' a desiderare ma nel complesso è stato un buon soggiorno, ideale per chi ha poche pretese e si accontenta di avere un letto e una colazione (appunto, bed and breakfast) a un prezzo contenuto. Inoltre accetta anche gli animali domestici! Letti e mobilio datato ma buono, presente wifi ma con poca rete dalla camera.

Rustik oplevelse

Meget rar og hjælpsom vært, vi fik en opgradering af værelset uden ekstra omkostning. Vi havde vores hund med og den blev taget rigtig godt imod. Meget flotte og landlige omgivelser. Meget stejl tilkørselsvej, ned til lokationen. Morgenmaden var ok, god kaffe og scramblet æg, vi blev også tilbudt stegt bacon men sagde nej, da vi havde en lang dag foran os. Sengetøjet og håndklæderne var ok rene, men der kunne virkelig godt trænge til at blive gjort godt rent. Toiletbrættet var beskidt da vi ankom, der var mange myrer og skidt derfra på gulvet. Der var spindelvæv ikke kun i krogene men også dørindgangene. Så det var en blandet oplevelse. Kunne have været en super god oplevelse i et hyggeligt hus fra 1600 tallet, men manglen på rengøringen trækker desværre meget ned i den samlede bedømmelse.

Forfærdelig vært

Jeg havde et meget ubehageligt ophold. Jeg betalte ca. 32 euro for et gammelt værelse med fælles bad. Morgenmaden bestod af 1-2 æg der var scrambelt, 2 skiver toastbrød, syltetøj og en lille pakke smør. 1 nektarin, et lille bæger youghurt samt te og mælk. Da jeg bad om en nektarin og en youghurt mere, kom han med det og sagde at han ville få mig blacklistet på B&B's i hele Italien. Han vidste at jeg var ude på en længere rejse på egen hånd. De andre gæster var tjekket ud på det tidspunkt.
