Isola Bella Luxury View

Die Lage ist ein Traum und die Aussicht auf die Isola Traumhaft

Der untere Nachbar und seine Ehefrau, ein unverschämter Mensch, der unsere Familie auf das übelste Beschimpft und beleidigt ( u.a.als Nazi) hat. Es wurden auch Schläge angedroht. Es wurden auch unsere Kinder beleidigt, die verstehen noch kein Englisch oder Italienisch.

The location was stunning. The check in experience was painless. The jacuzzi is in a great spot. The air con was cold and no issues with neighbours. Yes there are some stairs but the trade-off is worth it. I feel sorry for the suckers who pay 2k a night for a “deluxe room” at the four seasons. So close to beach. Plenty of nice lidos and beach clubs nearby. La Plage lidos were the best and the staff were all super friendly except their beach restaurant service was atrocious, so maybe plan to eat elsewhere if you spend a day on the beach. And the best pizza/pasta dine in or take away is just downstairs the one that has a seperate gelato section, we went 2 nights in a row it was that good.

The smallish double beds but standard for Italy. We gave up trying to find a driver who would pick us up or drop us off at the top entrance - the taxi drivers want to extract as much cash off tourists for the least amount of effort. We literally got told to “stop talking” when attempting to show drivers the video of where to go. Not a fault of the property, was actually quite amusing. Sicilian hospitality can be very warm or cold. Just take the stairs and get some exercise ! Also the coastal bus was surprisingly easy to use when we couldn’t find a cab to get to the train station.

The property was very comfortable and clean. The host was excellent meeting us on arrival, showing us to our appt and resolved an issue with the WiFi very quickly. The appt kitchen has everything (apart from a microwave) that you need to do any cooking, although we choose to eat out! The views from the appt are beautiful, with the sea just in front of you.

There are quite a few steps down to the road or up to the car park, which if you have mobility issues that would be a problem.

Die Aussicht

Die Ausstattung ist runtergekommen (Dusche schimmelt, Lampen kaputt, WC-Spülung läuft, Kühlschrank tropft, Betten unbequem), Küche schlecht ausgestattet und schmutzig (Tassen mit Teerändern, Backofen nicht geputzt)
