Professor Bono's lovely house is superbly located on a virtually private road, next to the beach in the greater township of Tre Fontane, perfectly positioned for expeditions to ( the amazing, unique) Selinunte, Campobello, the beach town of Mazara del Vallo and Marsala.
With all the positives: spacious, lovely back-yard, well equipped kitchen, with some appliances rarely found in rentals; fine bathroom, good beds...there were petty annoyances which detracted...It could be, that it was early in the season and perhaps the rental had not been sufficiently prepared...Nevertheless, here is the list;
The towels were old and dingy, should be replaced...there was no hand soap and only half a roll of toilet paper, the promised oil was non-existent as was the promised shampoo...It must be said that we carry our own shampoo and oil, not expecting that they be provided but if one advertises them, they should be present.
More exasperating was the trash situ...That part of Sicily mandates separation of trash, requiring upwards of five containers...There was two.
And no garbage bags,,,My wife put out the organic on the schedule in our own plastic bag...It wasn't picked up, but was tossed around by some local animal, requiring a cleanup, which we did.
Lastly, the picture shows the upper, outdoor terrace (a wonderful touch) furnished with furniture and a bottle of wine...There was no furniture, just an empty space...we never went up.
Lots of small stuff, easily correctable...Fix them and the place goes back to 5 stars, which is its potential.
