In die Jahre gekommenes, schönes Haus mit mittelmäßigem Service
Schönes, stilvolles Haus - aber leider nicht gut erhalten (bspw Toilettenspülung teils defekt, Klopapierhalter fiel ab). Service war, obwohl sehr bemüht und sehr nett, nicht gut - bspw war Frühstück, welches für 8h bestellt war, teils erst 30min später bereit - und wurde mit schlechten Ausreden begründet (bspw „Dienstags ist es schwer, Brot zu kriegen“).
Es war einfach unglaublich!
Wir haten eine unvergessliche Zeit.
Bruno & seine Frau sind super freundliche Menschen.

Amazing
Villa Alceo is amazing. Staying here was like leaving in a different age and being part of a fairy tale. Everything has been meticulously cared for and has been done for the comfort of the guests. Bruno and Julia did a great job taking care of us and really have a desire to make everything perfect. This property is the best place for a week away from the real world or to have the fantasy destination wedding. The renovated attic level is beautiful and has been decorated wonderfully. We had 4 18 year old young ladies with us and they chose the attic level over the beautiful main level suites because it was so different than anything they had ever experience. We will recommend Villa Alceo to our friends and I can't wait to see one of those 4 get married at this incredible place.
