Well the view is awesome and the location is unbeatable. But our experience beyond that was soured very quickly and we ended up having to leave shortly after arriving.
We put our stuff down and marveled at the view out of the window. Every time we washed our hands in the bathroom we noticed a small leak on the ground but decided to ignore that… we went to dinner and came back and I decided to take a shower. The host let us know that the shower is dangerously hot so to be careful. I turned on the shower and waited truly a few seconds to get in so I could get a sense of the temperature. The shower head then fell off and water spurted all around the bathroom from the spout without a shower head. At the same exact time, the power went out. No light and no power in the outlets to charge our phones which we’re running low.
I texted the host a few times and he did not respond. I then called him and told him that the bathroom was half flooded and all of the power was out. He seemed unsurprised that there was a flood in the bathroom (I suspect from the leaky sink situation from before). We were sitting in the dark and starting to feel desperate. At this point it was 11 pm and the host said he wouldn’t come then but would come in the morning. He instructed us on how to restart the power. My husband went into a dark cellar and tried to restart the power but that didn’t work. We tried in the apartment with the power box also and it didn’t work.
At this point we knew we needed to leave and the first part of our Florence honeymoon had turned stressful and desperate-feeling. We ended up getting a hotel around midnight.
