This accommodation does NOT have air conditioning.
The owner admits himself his “air cooling” only cools to 27C (80 F) but actually the room temperature was never below 30 C (85 F) in the middle of the night. Do not stay if you want air conditioning.
My partner was 8 months pregnant and it was too hot; there was little sympathy from the hosts and when we decided to move and requested 2 nights refund for the time we would not stay (we didn’t even ask for a full refund which I feel would be more appropriate as we were misled) Giovanni refused.
We then complained to Airbnb, who obfuscated. Giovanni then started making claims we arrived late and left the apartment in a mess- both lies. When we arrived Giovanni was at work, so we had to go to the nearest town and get something to eat until later. He did ask us to confirm a time only hours earlier that morning, but we were driving already from Venice and did not check the messages. Anyway this was not the main problem, it was the unbearable heat.
Additionally the pool is nice but when we were there it has a thin layer of dirt/grease on the top. This usually happens when the cleaning system is not run continually enough (presumably to save money). So the water was cloudy and not very clean, but this was a minor issue compared to the lack of air conditioning, and the general attitude of the hosts which made us feel like we were an imposition.
This is a beautiful area and the buildings are nicely renovated, but there IS NO PROPER AIR CONDITIONING, Giovanni is arrogant and so unless you want to sleep in the heat and risk feeling like the hosts would rather not have you there, I would choose somewhere else.
Overall it felt like they wanted to get whatever money they could, and save whatever money they could - rather than give guests a good experience.
Finally, we left an untouched half watermelon in the fridge, and I told Giovanni’s wife that they could have it or give it to their gardening staff (we could but drive with it unrefrigerated) Later Giovanni said this was part of the mess we left.
He lies about the features of the apartment and has given a misrepresentation of events to Airbnb. This was a sad episode in or otherwise lovely trip to Italy, where we stayed in multiple places and did have this experience.
Giovanni should not run an guest house. They seemed irritated we were there, and even after all the problems they demanded 4 euros for the local tourist tax. It’s petty and unpleasant.
One final note: the hosts have cameras (CCTV) everywhere. This is understandable for security, but it’s odd I think that the hosts have a group of TVs in their kitchen to watch guests every second of the day. It just all adds up to a feeling that Giovanni would rather nobody was there, and his lack of customer service and contempt for guests, is not what you need when you’ve come to Italy for a holiday. What a sad experience the four of us had.
