Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service

Disappointing

Breakfast servers stingy even with the minimal “buffet” offerings; they are also condescending and rude (for example, staff starting arguing with me that a clearly rotten peach they gave me was not rotten- all I wanted was a different peach. We left hungry each morning as it was literally easier to go somewhere else to get more food than to get staff to give sufficient helpings). Water on the premises is not potable. Hot water inadequate for more than a 5 minute shower. Toilet inadequately maintained (made nausea-inducing, very loud screeching noise for about 30 seconds after each flush). Room dirty (cockroaches, etc). Frequent electricity brownouts during our stay.

Heerlijk genieten midden in de natuur.

Zeer goede ontvangst door de manager/eigenaar. Dierenliefhebbers op en top! Fijne check-in gehad op de locatie en er werd meegelopen naar onze kamer. Die was voorzien van zeer comfortabele bedden, we hebben enorm goed geslapen. De accommodatie is erg landelijk gelegen, overal is de natuur om je heen. Direct naast de deur ligt een mooie wandelroute en op 15 minuten met de auto ben je in de stad. In de winter kunnen de kamers wel wat koud aan doen, maar er staan fijne kachels klaar om alles goed warm te houden. Ontbijten is ook een feest in een gezellige ruimte met open haard en heerlijke banken! Wij hebben genoten!

C'est notre 3ème séjour à la villa Dei Papiri. Dès notre arrivée le charme s'opère. Végétation luxuriante, très belle prestation avec en prime, cette année, une soirée musicale avec un apéritif dînatoire dans la salle "musée" du petit déjeuner. Personnel à l'écoute, très sympathique. Hébergement incontournable pour un séjour à Syracuse !

Country hotel with wonderful garden

We had a mixed experience; the garden, the people, the space in our room were all wonderful. We loved sitting out in the morning and evening in this delightful space. We thought breakfast was expensive (7 euros) and should have been included. Getting to it along badly signed and poor tracks is not simple. It is also a fault of sat navs which confuse poor tracks for proper roads. The bed in our large room was very firm and uncomfortable for me.

La location è molto carina. La stanza assegnataci non era chissà, odorava di muffa e l'acqua calda si faceva desiderare. Il box doccia faceva acqua da tutte le parti e i suoi accessori erano al quanto vetusti. Per finire la colazione era al quanto scarsa.

Bellissimo paesaggio, ma pochi servizi

Il posto è molto bello esteticamente, ma senza ristorante, piscina, televisione funzionante, sei obbligato ad andare in città, che dista comunque 7-8 km ed è disperso nelle campagne. Consigliato per we romantico e "statico" nella struttura.

Pésima atención de la gerencia, poco profesional.

Tuvimos un grave problema porque no funcionó el wifi durante toda nuestra estancia. El acceso a Internet es una condición imprescindible para elegir un hotel en un viaje al extranjero. Esto nos causó graves problemas. Cuando pedimos una solución o una compensación la gerente nos contestó, con desprecio, que la avería con el wifi no era su problema. Solo desayunamos una vez por 7,5 euros por persona porque no quedaba café !!! ni otros productos, a pesar de que llegamos una hora antes del fin del servicio. El desayuno lo pagamos en metálico pero no nos dieron ningún ticket ni justificante del pago.
