The highlight of our trip ended up being an overpriced disappointment overall. Mind you, the place has great potential and the village of Gratteri is stunning as ever. But for 200€ a night one would (and should) expect a top notch accomodation. The first thing we encountered was a cigarette filter in the pool, which completely grossed out my girlfriend. The sleeping area had seemingly not been cleaned out after the last guests, as there was a half eaten chocolate bar in the fridge, as well as an open package of baby wipes next to the bed (sexy). My girlfriend lost her earring under the bed and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a month, not to mention the classy spider webs around the ceiling. I do not tend to be picky about stuff like this, as I'm currently travelling around in an inexpensive camper van, but I had really high expectations for this place, and sadly it did not live up to it's previous good reputation. Note that there is no AC or fan in the room, which can make it hard to get a good night's sleep due to high temperatures and humidity during the summer months. On the other hand I would like to thank the people working there for their great service, and give an extra praise to the chef that delivered a completely amazing meal in the evening for a fair price. However, this does not justify the poor overall impression I'm left with after my visit.
