Our stay at 603-Ostuni Villa Marchesini could have been great but unfortunately, I could not recommend it to others. Whilst the villa presents well on the AIRBNB website (and other websites) the experience of staying there did not meet our expectations set by the website and was extremely overpriced for the quality. We paid over €1,100 per day and appropriately expected something that was at least 3 to 4 star in quality not the 1 to 2 star experience we received. The property is advertised as a “Villa” with comfort, 9 bedrooms and six bathrooms accommodating 19 people. It would be more correctly not advertised as a Villa. A Villa sets an expectation of a house with at least a decent kitchen and multiple accessible bedrooms. In the publicity regarding “House 2” it creates the picture that it has a 2 bedroom house with a kitchen. It neglects to mention that to access the 2nd bedroom you need to exit the building and re-enter at the rear the second and separate bedroom - not ideal if you are in one bedroom and your young children are in the other. IE. Really House 2 is a 1 bedroom unit with kitchen and a separate 1 bedroom unit that happens to be under one roof – definitely not to be called a House. There are another 2 separate units and 2 small Trulli. Importantly, only 1 of the units in the whole property has a kitchen and that kitchen is very small. So small in fact that kitchen utensils, pots and pans are found in the loungeroom. The kettle did not work nor did the coffee machine with most of the cartridges supplied. There is no table inside the house that would accommodate more than 8 people at a squeeze. To dine with 19 people you would need to be outside at one of the outdoor dining areas. What does not get mentioned in the publicity is that in the absence of servants it is not practical to carry plates, cutlery etc for 19 people 60 metres from the small kitchen to the large table by the pool for each meal. Neither is it mentioned that the units and surrounding area are infested with thousands of mosquitoes. At the daily rate of over €1,100 it would be appropriate that the property is sprayed for mosquitoes at that time of year. At least the units (not the un-airconditioned Trulli) had mosquito screens however the publicity does not show that the screens are in poor repair with holes and that they derail so easily that I believe we needed to fix them back in place at least 40 times per day. This constant repair process and some of the children getting strong reactions to otherwise unnecessary mosquito bites disturbed our quiet enjoyment of the property. Whilst it was true that 19 people can sleep there it should also be made clear that the beds are appropriate for 5 couples and 7 children. The beds...
