Affittacamere L'Orchidea

It was clean

The wifi did not work so good

loved the room. We had a balcony which made for a wonderful evening. The operator is friendly. The city Ventimiglia is a secret gem for a vacation spot, a beautiful beach, a row of fantastic restaurants along the water front. Several streets have been set aside as pedestrian malls lined with cafes and restaurants.

The check out time is early at 10 AM, and they are not kidding! We were running a few minutes behind on a Sunday morning and they would not give us any extra time.

It had everything we needed for a quick overnight stay. Central location.

Large bathroom, bed was comfortable. Okay for one night, just to put your head down. Pietro was nice and his communication was good/ responsive even though he didn’t speak very much English. He lives in the building which was good, but had no issues during my stay. There is a small lift which is great! Place is secure - locked front entry and room locks well - best to leave key in overnight.

The sensor light in the entry was a little annoying at times. Of an evening I wanted to turn it off but I don’t think I could. The place was very small if you were to sleep 3 people (there was one double bed and one single bed in the place). The fridge was small and unplugged which wasn’t ideal, given i got in around 8pm (due to train strikes). There was no kitchen, which wasn’t clear. Also the area where the place is situated seemed a little sketchy at first, which wasn’t ideal for a solo female traveller. It was odd that the room was more of a boarding style place, with the apartment being broken up by each bedroom and it being its own separate place. There is a lot of larger furniture in the room which just takes up space - can’t be used so it might be best to free up space.

Convenient location close to ameneities and the shore

Does this town ever sleep?

We booked accommodation here last minute due to an Italian train strike preventing us from going any further into Italy. The accommodation was better than we expected. Very clean and comfortable. Great communication with the host despite us speaking English and him speaking Italian.

It was extremely clean and very good facilities.

There was a light on the balcony that went on and off all night long.

Location was good and the room was clean. Bed was comfy and we had our own private bathroom.

We booked a room for 3 and when we got there they only let 2 of us in and we had to pay an extra 30€ for the third person. I had booked the quadruple room for the 3 of us and didn’t even get the room I booked.

The host has been very friendly and helpful.
