Sadly, much as we wanted to enjoy this vacation, we had a horrible stay in this seemingly idyllic location on the beach in Sicily in December 2022. The house is pretty and the location is to die for so we had high hopes for a great vacation. Unfortunately, the amount of problems in the house were not tenable to us and we actually suffered quite a bit from staying there and were forced to check out after only 2 nights (we had originally booked 5).
First, the house was freezing. To be fair, the host warned us there was no central heat in advance but assured us of a fireplace and 2 room AC units. Neither of which were actually operational: the fireplace chimney was blocked and the home's power was shorting nonstop (even when only one appliance was on).
Most shocking were the tiny creatures (worms? Leeches?) that crawled our of the tub's jacuzzi openings while our kids were taking a bath. They were very much alive and wiggly.
Never coming back-- and the experience soured us on airbnb.
