The carpets were dirty. Someone tried to open the door to our room twice late in the night. That was really disturbing. Sorry, we probably won’t stay here again.

This was an OK place to stay. However, they used a photo that is not the accommodations, featuring a lovely Italian style villa. If you have never been there and assume a place cannot put fake photos on the Hotels.com website..... you would be mistaken here. This place look nothing like the photo.

The power plug was hanging out of the wall, the carpet was ripped & a trip hazard, there was a tablet under the sink. The stairs to get up to the room was dangerous, carrying a suit case. The stairs were 14 steps straight up, very hard to get two suitcases up the stairs without hurting your self. Road noise also.
