  : Preliminary remark:We are providing this assessment in the hope of bringing about improvements for future guests and to adequately inform them of the current status of flats 8A and 8B.To state this right away: It is irrelevant whether the defects could have been partially remedied during our stay. We do not want to spend the holiday with workmen and constant enquiries. It is the task of a host to provide the flat in such a way that it has no defects from the beginning. Moreover, most defects cannot be remedied in the short term. Moreover, many defects have already been pointed out by other guests and have not been remedied so far.What needs improvement is:- Mould in shower- Shower without water pressure- No shutters on the outside, therefore no darkening and simultaneous ventilation possible; as there is no air conditioning, rooms cannot cool down adequately- Partly no fly screens against mosquitoes- Apartments 8A and 8B insufficiently separated (only thin sliding door without sound insulation) and therefore in themselves only to be rented together; access from one unit to the other only possible via the balcony of the other flat- Room to the front facing the sun in flat 8A extremely warm, as there are no shutters- Dishwasher not working properly in flat 8A- No microwave, no oven- Poor kitchen equipment (old, partly incomplete)- Plug of kettle needs adapter for socket; however, adapter not available in flat- Toaster provided old, cable patched and inserts for removing toast get hot (risk of injury)- Existing grill toaster very weak, toasting takes a long time- Unclear competences between hosts Laura and Guiseppe- No mobile phone reception (with O2 network)- Internet failure (once, at night); in order to inform the host, we had to drive over 2 km to the next town due to lack of mobile phone reception; unacceptable in emergency situations.

  : The hosts were extremely kind and full of useful advices. The whole property and the surroundings are nicely fitted and taken care of.
  : There are many rules to follow printed all over the place, which might interfere with the vacation mode. There is no famous breathtaking scenaries surrounding the house. The price could be a bit lower, especially since no breakfast is included.

  : Staff is great and friendly. Great pool facility and very nice garden. Parking is enough for all guests. Room is nice and the kitchen has all utilities required. Really nice balcony too! Although no mobile network available, the internet is really fast!
  : The bathroom could use a refurbish in the future. This is however the only slight negative factor.
