The bathroom walls are dirty, the floors are full of lime scale, as are the toilets.

As noted in many reviews, the rooms seriously deserve some maintenance and could be more thoroughly cleaned.

Room was very large, bathroom floors were black stones but had lots of limescale stains all over (should be cleaned better).

Beds1113Split
Two things that really spoiled the stay is: mattress (guys, you should really think about getting new ones), my back hurt all the time; the standard room is not in the main building and looks more like a summer house which is probably fine in summer but not in winter.
Booking network, December 2025, rated 7/10 by this guest
The beds were were so incredibly hard that I can only imagine that sleeping on a bed of nails would have been more comfortable.
Booking network, April 2026, rated 7/10 by this guest
Excellent for location and cleanliness, not for the room, it smells of mold as soon as you enter, bed with a depression and sockets only at the head of the bed so to be able to charge the phone you either have an extension cord or it has to be suspended

Value914Weak spot
I recommend the property to take a tour of some hotel in Rome and not to realize that for such a price you have a much higher quality of breakfast rooms.

The room was in the ground floor and you can smell mold.

It could have scored higher on the cleanliness, maybe it was just a little run down and moldy because of the rain.

The bathroom pipes were smelly like bad kelp, and the shower had no divide between its floor and the regular floor, so when we showered it would flood into the bathroom and the bedroom.

It would have been even nicer had the swimming pool been open (we were there too early in the season for that).
Booking network, May 2025, rated 7/10 by this guest
However, there were also several downsides: The pool was out of order – dirty, clearly unused for a long time, and this wasn’t communicated in advance.

A physical hazard5 of 204 reviews
The bedside tables are made of glass and one was broken when we went into the room, the large mirror in the walk in wardrobe was not mounted to anything so when I leaned on it, it came down on me!
