Casa Bambina

It was the worse experience out of my 20 years using Booking.com. Property manager did not give us instructions where to get the keys, message said to go to Al Porto #4. It was a 20 min walk from the ferry (instead of couple blocks promised) with flight bags. We reached a locked door, it took extra 10 min to reach an office, Then we were told that we have to go to the office to collect the keys, they gave us an address, another 20 min to walk. When we came to collect the keys, we were told that "no wonder we do not have a right address, sine we booked through Bookings". Then we got the keys, walked back to the property address and found that the key does not work. We found neighbors to open the entrance door, and the second key did not work either. Then we discovered from one of the neighbors that the address was wrong , it is Al Prato #8. 2 hours later completely exhausted we entered the property. DO we care after all if this was a good place or not? In the end of our 2 day stay we had to walk back to return the keys, with 4 people in the office nobody could come and collect the key. The management of this property has only one responsibility- collecting money. I do not recommend anybody to have this experience

Stayed for 3 nights. The staff were helpful and polite, provided excellent instructions to reach the property. The property was clean with enough bed linen, crockery, cutlery & cooking utensils in the cupboards. The property has AC units & 2 TVs which were a blessing in the summer & with youngsters. . The property is very close to the Piazza with so many restaurants & cafes. The walk to the lake is approx 5 min with easy access to the ferry. Would surely stay again!

Minor issues really - it would be nice to have a small provision of Salt, pepper, sugar +/- small bottle of olive oil in the cupboard. (if you are staying for 2-3 days, then it's a headache going around shopping for these). There is no washing machine in the property. Although this should be looked into as there is a spare room off the kitchen which could be used as a larder or to place a washing machine. There is a laundromat next door to the property which wasn't working. The access to the property may not be easy for older people as it is on an elevation with narrow cobblestone steps & alley ways .. Just so you know. On the day of the checkout, the cleaner just opened the door with the duplicate key without knocking on the door first. But overall it was just a wonderful holiday! 🙂

Great location. The owners have put a lot of thought into it and has been recently refurbished.

The air-conditioning was brand new but was unusually louder than normal. It did not bother us but might be an issue for some.

Prime location!

Bit of a tough walk with the bags but to be expected!

Need Instructions for stovetop, towel warmer. Written Directions from train station not good for guests walking with luggage. Should advise to get a taxi or walk on the main road.
