Calliano is characterised by a large number of castles and fortresses and was the scene of several battles back in history. We enjoyed the mighty castle complex of Castel Beseno and also another mighty castle, called Castel Pietra. The medieval castle complex of Pietra is located at the edge of the village of Calliano in the Vallagarina valley. Close to Calliano is the village of Volano, there’s the small St. Roch Church (San Rocco), a real art monument.
And the location of the apartment directly between the vineyards is absolutely unique … it´s amazing.
However, we have a fundamental comment on the presentation of photos of the apartment (from our point of view they are misleading and confusing) and the size of the beds. The Host offers two apartments (“Fra i castelli della Vallagarina 1”, “Fra i castelli della Vallagarina 2”) but the photos are shared and mixed, simply, they are misleading and confusing. Only upon arrival will you find that you will not relax in a pleasant space under the roof outside the apartment (this is an advantage only for the second apartment offered with Airbnb, but you will not know it before arrival).
So when it rains, you can't use the outdoor seating at all, everything is wet. Also, the front door cannot be tilted for ventilation, although in all other apartments it is possible and certainly pleasant. It would therefore be appropriate to differentiate the price of both apartments, as they have different quality.
We are persuaded that the both Accommodations the Host list on the Airbnb Platform are not accurately described in the Listing description.
Absolutely crucial is the fact that both beds (in the “Fra i castelli della Vallagarina 2”) are short and sufficient only for a figure approx. 170 cm high. In general, both beds are not standard lengths and are not suitable for an adult.
We would like to say that owners of the building and all the apartments are very friendly and very nice people. It was very nice to talk to them. However, given these findings, we did not try to discuss these facts with the owners, because from our point of view it was unrealistic to ensure immediate change.
Despite all these feelings, we will be happy to return here, because this place and the location right between the vineyards is amazing.
We would be happy to meet the owners again …
