Appartamenti Villa Chiara

  : Everything that I rated earlier as excellent!!
  : 1- A small concern is that the lighter to ignite the stove was out of fuel. Not being a smoker, I do not carry a lighter with me. It was inconvenient due to the fact I had picked up items to make my own coffee and eggs but could not use the stove. I had to ask several neighbours if they had a lighter to lend. 2- A bigger concern was that I did not receive the email from Booking.com before I left my previous accommodation in the morning. I travelled for 9 hours to try and find the location this accommodation was at. I went back and forth between Imperia and San Bartolomeo twice trying to find the addresses written in the instructions on the original confirmation of the BnB. The instructions that were sent to me the morning of my arrival were clearer but I was not able to read it until I had arrived at a place that had wifi. Very confusing and frustrating. I hope there is a way for Booking.com to make that info very very clear in the future. Maybe sending the instruction two days prior to arrival could work better for travellers that do not have consistent wifi access to receive emails. Thanks.

  : The appartment was very complete! You can cook a decent mail. The view is magnificent, in apartment 1 (of 3) we had two terrasses, two bathrooms. Its big and nice.
  : The view comes with a price, the walk down is quite long. We could not find a washingmachine in our appartement. We found quite a lot of Scutigeromorpha (a sort of centipede) in our apartment, we did not got stung by them but they look awful!

  : The people at the office managing the property were very helpful and kind. Views from the shared part of the terrace (not apartment no.3's part) were great.
  : Terrace is shared between the 3 apartments in the villa. Since the sound / light isolation is almost nonexistent, how your neighbors use the terrace affects your experience immensely. We were lucky with the first two families as they were not noisy, didn't barbecue on the terrace and had children themselves that needed to go to bed earlier. Our last neighbors were a group of young men, who started barbecuing around 10:30 PM, stayed up until 2-3 AM, listened to music on the terrace during this time, and kept the lights on all night. The second bed in apartment number 3 is in the kitchen / entrance, where there are no shades / isolation. This makes it unusable in the summer as this side also sees the sunrise. The apartment is located on a hill, 100 meters above the sea level. Roads are not pedestrian friendly. Walking to the beach or the restaurants in the evening is an adventure. The reception where the keys can be picked up is far from the property.
