We booked the apartment with high expectations due to Francescos description on Air Bnb. When we arrived to the apartment, we shortly found out that the description on the website was mostly wrong and out dated which led to a few difficulties during our stay.
We booked this, pretty pricy apartment, partly because we are both in chefs business and expected to be able to cook unlimited at home.
With the expectations of having a "fully equipped kitchen", you can imagine the disappointment of not having an oven,
or as the description proudly tell, a bbq. When we asked for this, Francesco kindly told us that the bbq just broke down.
Another reason we booked the place, was because of the beautiful patio shown on the pictures. When we arrive, we got told that these patios (there is two) only belongs to the corner apartments and we were not aloud to use them, even though the description told us that everybody is free to use to whole garden.
Bikes were promised availability, and when we asked for them, we got the answer that there was bikes at the apartments - even though our neighbours had gotten them delivered and therefor were keepers of the locks and keys, which kind of made them unavailable for the other three apartments.
We wrote to Francesco/Peter repeatedly without getting an answer for about 4 days, even though we had concrete complains and questions. The only time we actual got a respond was when they required payments for our extra guests arriving in the end of our stay.
And hear, they only responded to delivering extra sheets (of course for extra money) and not for the actual complains.
We did come to have a beautiful stay in Sicily, the apartment is really nice, clean and modern. There is about 10-15 min walk to the cosy Ortigia where we spent a lot of our time.
To get to a beach, a car or vehicle is necessary. Lido di Noto became our favourite beach, but it takes about 30-40 minutes to drive.
We were just extremely disappointed due to the misled description and to their handling of the situation. The money is not worth it, because honestly, you pay for things that aren't there, and we feel cheated.
