I’ve never stayed in a place where the reviews were so off from reality. If I could sum this place up in one word, it would be spooky. It’s really really old. It’s not beautiful antiques, it’s old spooky furniture and paintings everywhere that look like they haven’t been moved in two hundred years. I get that it’s Italy and that things are always older there, but I’m literally writing this from another VRBO in a far more remote location of Italy that doesn’t feel nearly as old and non functioning as this place did. This is a three bedroom apartment with several tiny little spooky rooms that either serve no purpose, or that have a cot thrown in them and then are counted as a bedroom. The manager was not the super friendly guy in the reviews and only showed up the last day to collect the very unusual cash payment that you have to pay him directly. I’ve stayed on lake Como before and paid the tourist tax in cash so that’s to be expected. 32 euros for a family of four for four nights. I had to pay 232 euros for four nights in cash on top of the price of the VRBO. I’ve stayed all over Italy and the world and never had to pay a large cash payment like that. Take that into account when you look at the price that VRBO is charging you because it’s on top of that. I could go on and on about the issues with this apartment but I will just add this last thing. I have absolutely never been to a rented house or apartment with less necessities provided. No soap, no paper towels, no water, very few towels, no soap for washer, no milk for coffee. Most places in this price range at least provide something to get you started. Imagine showing up fairly late after a long day of traveling and realizing you have nothing at all in the apartment. The place I’m staying now for example had wine, bread, soap, milk and many other things that one may need, and it cost two hundred less a night! I don’t expect all of that but at least leave the basics. I hate to leave such a bad review but if someone had done that for me, I wouldn’t have spent so much staying in such a disappointing apartment.
