Lovely apt in Pinzolo Val Rendena 7

Our apartment (number 7) was on the top floor at the back of the complex away from the main road, with a beautiful view of the village and mountains. There was no one else staying in the complex (we stayed mid-Oct) which meant no noise from other apartments and no difficulty parking in the underground basement. The lift directly from the carpark to our apartment was very handy. The apartment is in close walking distance to a large, modern CO-OP supermarket. The property is managed by someone other than the host. While she speaks very limited English, she tried very hard to communicate with us via Google translate and WhatsApp.

This apartment could have easily been a "10/10" for us except for some issues. There was no welcome book with instructions in either Italian or some other language. We struggled to use major appliances, particularly the washing machine and microwave oven. The apartment manager tried to help us through WhatsApp but without success due to the language barrier. We messaged the owner, Dante about our concerns and have had no reply, even though he was in good communication prior to our arrival. Having to specify an exact arrival and departure time was not ideal. The kitchen, although adequate, had very limited bench space. We would have liked an electric kettle.

It was secure. View of mountains, Parking garage, Wifi included, large balcony, Host was very nice and understood my concerns, Washing machine, dishwasher, Lots of dinnerware and kitchen supplies. Living area - roomy. Top floor. Bathroom 1 was spacious with shower and counter. Bedroom 2 nice closet with shelves. Netflix. All windows could open to the back porch. Blackout shades in both bedrooms. Skylights are auto operational from the wall switches in the bedrooms. Quick response for issues like cleanliness. Greeter was very nice and was responsive to cleaning issues.

1 month rental. Walls were paper thin, no soundproofing from adjacent apartments. Owned by the same host, I heard baby crying, dog screaming especially when left unattended every day, TV on until 1:30 a.m. next to my bedroom wall! Heard people talking loudly until early hours from the apartment below. One really small square table in the living area was Lucite and placed in the center of the room where it was easy to trip over because it was see-through. No other table in that area to place a drink or snack. The market is within site of the balcony, but you have to drive there since it is a distance to walk with groceries. The pass-through town road of Pinzolo is being built to alter the traffic flow through town and that will also bring more noise to the apartment rear. Location is not the best as it is noisy with traffic coming into and out of town which is on the border of Giustino and Pinzolo. Lots of neighboring dogs barking at all hours of the night and day. Dogs are allowed into the apartments; Lighting in Bathroom 1 was totally insufficient. Only 1 TV in a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment. The kitchen is a very small area. The water heater sticks out and you can easily hit your head on the corner of that cabinet. Dangerous! The refrigerator is very tall, and you can just about reach the freezer door. The closet in Bedroom 1 - doors do not totally open - bed is in the way. The hanging rod is not reachable to hang clothes since it is about 2.5 meters high and no selves to lay clothing. Poor choice of furniture. Bathroom 2 has a small sink and only a tub with a hand-held shower. Cleanliness was an issue since pebbles are brought in from the street on your shoes. I swept the floor on my 1st full day from previous occupants. Shower door bottom was black with mold. Asked for extra set of sheets (renting a month) so I can wash bedding while making up clean sheets - drying sheets on racks can take from 1-2 days. Not provided. I would not rent again.

Location was amazing.

Nothing was open hard time finding food. Bed was a little to hard for me.

Super comfortable apartment
