Campi Elisi

“Too many keys”

The place was well equipped and I had booked it specifically for the washing machine. The bedside lamp didn’t work, so I had to swap it for the one on the opposite side. There was no remote for the bedroom air‑con or the TV. The patio doors opened onto a small terrace that included the washing machine, but no windows let in air, so the bedroom stayed warm. There were tiny steps everywhere, which would have been fine if I hadn’t had a shaky knee. The light switches for the living room were on the far side of the main wall next to the bathroom, so you’d walk into darkness and then have to walk to the other end of the room to turn them on—a trip hazard. The fridge‑freezer was huge, but I accidentally turned it off at the switches next to the coffee machine, so the fridge went cold. The balcony was lovely to sit on but it faced the main street and was very noisy. According to the directions, a supermarket is an 8‑minute walk away—if you’re Usain Bolt, maybe, but it had everything you needed. Beware: every taxi, no matter the distance or time of day, charged me £20 euros… even for a 5‑minute walk from the shop it was the same price 😳😳😳😳. In all the other places I’ve stayed in Italy, taxis were meter‑based, so I’m not sure if this is a Sicily thing 🤣. Another major drawback was the keys: one for the front door, one to call and operate the lift, one for the hallway door, and one for the room door… a bit excessive and a real hassle if you’re carrying anything 😳. Plus, the tiled floors let the upstairs neighbour play music well past 11 pm, which was disturbing. The lady who met me and helped me was fantastic, especially when my train was over 2 hours late and I didn’t arrive until almost midnight. She was brilliant throughout the stay 👍

“Ottima soluzione per spettacoli al teatro greco”

The place was spotless and right next to the theater, and I didn't have any complaints.

The room was very clean and tidy. Ylenia was super helpful and gave clear instructions; we’ll definitely come back.

“Così così”

The room was clean, the owner was kind and helpful, and the location is great. However, it’s not a B&B but just a guesthouse: breakfast isn’t included and there’s no open kitchen area. There’s no reception, so I never spoke to the owner in person, only by phone, and I was given instructions to access the room. I never received an invoice despite repeated requests, and payment is accepted only by bank transfer or cash. Even though there was a mini fridge in the room, there was no water bottle. The amount of shampoo and shower gel provided for two people for one night was totally insufficient: 4 sachets barely covered one person. Finding the B&B could be difficult despite the directions because there’s no sign outside the gate or on the intercom. Luckily I found it without trouble.
