Overall I was very disappointed by my experience here. After having to jump through various hoops to be approved by Ciro to stay here such as providing ages of each person joining me, their occupations as well as having to verify IDs, I felt this was going to be a very comfortable and sophisticated home. However I was very disappointed to find that the house was the opposite: the beds downstairs were probably equivalent to what you could find in a prison, there was no fan or AC (which during the hot months of Italian summer is important) and the whole place was unclean with dirt under the tables and other areas throughout the house.

Generally when you stay at an Airbnb the host will leave a note welcoming you, perhaps some food and definitely some water and towels to make you comfortable. Ciro left no water, no food and only 3 towels (we had 5 people which he new). We booked to arrive on a Sunday and at Ciro's request had pushed back our check in to 6pm so we could accommodate other guests who were leaving that day. Since on a Sunday everything is closed in Italy (it being a Catholic country) Ciro should have supported us and provided us with some sort of welcome basket to make the stay a little bit more comfortable, I mean no water at all!?!? Furthermore when we tried to ring him to communicate our disappointment and understand if there were things we might have been missing he was unavailable for the entire evening.

Overall what was meant to be a relaxing and enjoyable stay turned out to be the complete opposite and I am definitely going to look into how I can be compensated for this trip.
