Where does one start? The area around the b&b is a dump. The b&b is situated within a gated community. (See pictures) Within the gates, there's a bar and a food store. The bar is also a dump. They did not serve Aperol, gin and tonic, white wine and they threatened to serve a white Martini in a plastic cup... The food store is much like the bar. 

The beach adjacent to the compound is small and it's packed with loud Italians! There is a lido (avoid it) which charges 17 euros for 2 sunbeds and an umbrella - talk about a rip- off!

The b&b resembles an Ikea showroom. The room we were given was fairly small, there was no fridge and no place to sit down and relax. Nill privacy. Our room was full of long black hairs, on the bed, on the curtains... Whereas we both have short hair... Quite repelling.

The breakfast. It was a non-event. No decent cappuccino, but microwaved milk and coffee. No fresh danish, but a roll that was microwaved and came straight from the local supermarket. Everything else was straight out of a supermarket-wrapped package, such as pre-toasted toast and tasteless preserve. The breakfast area is not a place to relax and settle down, which one would expect at a b&b, where breakfast is one of the defining features in the concept?!

No wifi anywhere, except at the local restaurant opposite the compound 'Parco Venere'. 

We had to leave early due to family circumstances and this was handled well by our hosts. Apart from that, we were so happy to make our escape!

Our conclusion is that this is a quintessentially Italian concept which no foreigner could warm to. Beware!
