Sangiuliano 114

I booked a room for my parents in October 2023 because the reviews were very good. It's a shame that when they arrived at the place, which is not marked in any way except for a name written in marker on the doorbell, the property offered them a room on the third floor without a lift which for those with walking difficulties, or heavy luggage, is practically unattainable. Furthermore, on the walls, numerous conspicuous worms about 3/4 cm long which the cleaning lady, the only one present at the reception and with a cigarette in her mouth the whole time, promptly removed before my mother could take photographs. Parking at 10 euros per day does not exist, but only the blue paid lines on the road. When it was pointed out that walking three floors, for two elderly people with two suitcases weighing 20 kg each, was impossible to do, the owner (called on the phone by the smoking waitress) replied that that was the room and peace like that, without least worry about at least trying to propose other solutions. All seasoned with a rare rudeness, especially in Sicily. Dirty stairs and be careful only to reiterate that the reservation did not include refunds. In fact, my parents refused to stay there, even though they had already paid for the entire stay for a total of 490 euros and found excellent accommodation elsewhere. There wasn't even the foresight to contact them afterwards, at least for an apology. A holiday start to be cancelled, as structures of this type should be cancelled. Don't go there!

Owner really kind and hospitable. Available for all types of indications. If necessary, make a taxi reservation for the airport at the municipal rate (22 euros) on your behalf.
