PODERE SAN FRANCESCO

Stay at this old nunnery. We stayed in a room that was right next to the charch tower with a great view of the city. lots of one ways to get there.

Calm place in the countryside, kind staff.

Terrible experience. Two nights spent in room 3, located in the smaller building. Access to the building is via a dirt road that's difficult for cars and trolleys; the entire area is unlit, so at night you'll need your smartphone flashlight to get back. The room is located below ground level, almost a basement, with all the resulting humidity problems that are obvious. There's a tiny bathroom with no window or ventilation, with intermittent hot water. The electrical system needs updating, as the circuit breaker trips as soon as you turn on the hairdryer, likely due to an electrical overload. The entire area also features numerous cobwebs and spiders of various types, all compounded by a foul odor caused by poor housekeeping. The outdoor garden is disorganized, if you can call it that, given that there are a few tables and chairs (all different from each other, so much so that they look like they were found somewhere) placed haphazardly. That said, the condition of the property may be my subjective assessment, as you may or may not like it. However, regarding cleanliness (I certainly can't comment on room 3 or the other rooms), my assessment is definitely objective and unacceptable. Even if the room would have cost €50 instead of €80, it should have been clean. A word of advice for anyone who stumbles upon this place: don't pay in advance by bank transfer; go there, check the room, and then pay.
