Villa San Giorgio

I get the feeling the owners have just bought this house & are just starting to rent it out. It seems they have upgraded some parts of the apar**ent but others are old i.e. the kitchen doors look new, but the carcasses are very old. The lounge felt like it was missing a tv. There was a sofa for 2 facing a wall, with your back to the views of the hills, which felt odd. Personally, when I book an apar**ent for 4 people I expect 4 people to comfortably be able to sit in the lounge at the same time. Same with the kitchen - only 2 people could sit and eat at once. We stayed for 4 nights, but were the only people who stayed more than 1 night. People would arrive late at night and then leave straight away in the morning, so I guess it is being used as somewhere to stop on travels south. Other people kept turning up, taking photos & leaving The check in is all online & you never see the owners & no one came to talk to us. The internet didn't work in our apar**ent & the owner basically just said he didn't know & that was the end of it. The kitchen facilities are very poor e.g. no bread knife, there was a kettle, but the plug didn't fit into the wall, there was no corkscrew. The owners provided an adaptor ( they have 2 different plugs in Italy) & a knife but no corkscrew. There was nowhere in the bathroom to put anything. AC in one bedroom, but none in the other. The pool was nice. Sarzana was a lovely town. I wouldn't recommend due to there not being space for 4.
