Vakantie en citytrip naar Gibellina

We stayed 4 nights at B&B Villa Carlotta Resort in June. The room and the grounds were nicely clean and tidy. Due to the high outside temperature, we were very happy with a large cool room in the basement with a private terrace. The room was quiet. The pool was lovely with a spacious garden around it with seating and sun loungers. The breakfast buffet was very tasty. The staff were very friendly.

The staff was amazing and very helpful. They moved our room after our first night because the people in the room above us were so loud we could hear everything. The rooms are nice but have some drawbacks: in order to have your windows open to get fresh air at night, the room is flooded with all the uplighting surrounding the hotel. The windows have wooden shutters inside which means in order to block out the light, you must close the windows and then close the wooden shutters. Either turn off the floodlights at night or provide some curtains. The walls are also very thin and you can hear everything in the room next to you. We couldn’t get any of the TV apps to work so only had access to Italian TV. Did a fun (but very long) cooking class. The pool area is interesting but not inviting. It’s in a corner in the main area of the courtyard and faces 2 walls so there is no view. Also not very private. There is no lobby bar or any soft seating to relax anywhere. There is also not a set restaurant at the hotel - you have to do a cooking class or a private chef cooking for you (which would be nice but it’s in the cooking class/breakfast room so you have to experience it while a class is going on beside you). It’s a very pretty hotel but not really designed for the best experience for guests.

Le quartier est éloigné de tout.

Duur voor de service die je krijgt. Je hebt de hele tijd het gevoel dat je in het zak gezet wordt. Een taxi van het hotel naar het dorp is 16 euro per familie. Maw zijn er 3 families in de taxi is het 48 euro. Indien je alleen bent is het 16 euro. Hetzelfde voor de fietsen waar wij 25 euro betaalden en het koppel dat een dag later het kwam vragen aan de balie 30 euro… We zaten in een Deluxe kamer, bij aankomst waren er 3 bedden in de kamer. Ze hebben een veldbed erbij gezet om er 4 te hebben op een kleine oppervlakte. Verder wel een propere kamer in een mooie setting. Zeer vriendelijk personeel in het restaurant, voornamelijk de dame aan de koffie.

Persoonlijke aandacht voert de boventoon met gastvrijheid en advisering over bezoek aan culturele bezienswaardigheden. Grote kamer met groot balkon
