Response from the owner Il gruppetto di ventenni e la SIGNORA Manuela si sono sicuramente infastiditi perché gli ho forse chiesto di effettuare il ceck-out alle 09:00 come accettato al momento della prenotazione?Si sono trovati così male che mi avevano chiesto di lasciare le stanze più tardi per dormire di più. In genere sono molto flessibile con l'orario di uscita , ma non è stato possibile perché dovevo fare le PULIZIE per l'arrivo in giornata di un altro gruppo di persone. Pulizia che è stata fatta con cura pure prima dell'arrivo della SIGNORA Manuela. Infatti hanno trovato tutto pulitissimo, tanto che durante la loro permanenza non hanno segnalato nessuna anomalia di questo genere, se avessero avuto qualche problema e me lo avessero comunicato sarei intervenuta tempestivamente porgendo le mie scuse. Inoltre, tengo a precisare che le pantegane si trovano in città ma non in campagna. posso sicuramente dire che lei e il suo gruppo hanno messo a soqquadro l'intera abitazione, lasciando il disastro più totale, come le docce completamente intasate dalla sabbia nonostante la possibilità di lavarla via utilizzando il rubinetto posto in giardino. prima della prenotazione i gentilissimi signori erano stati informati sull'ubicazione della casa che si trova a 800 metri dalla miniera di salgemma meta di turisti poiché è famosa per la sua cattedrale di sale che è andata più volta in onda in tv in trasmissioni come Lineablu. La Villa non è così isolata se poi sentiva il vicino fare dei lavori nel suo terreno, certamente non potevo impedirlo. I gentilissimi signori sapevano che il vicinato si trova nel raggio di circa 200 metri ed anche i miei genitori abitano li ,tanto che si sentivano urlare e sbattere porte e cancelli. I gentilissimi signori erano stati avvisati che per gli spostamenti necessitava avere l'auto e visto che avevano deciso di viaggiare in autobus avevo loro fornito in anticipo un numero di telefono per noleggiarne una. Ma non hanno ascoltato il mio consiglio. Cara Manuela il giorno che inizierai a lavorare forse saprai apprezzare i sacrifici ed il lavoro degli altri.

“Spacious rooms in a tranquil location yet close to Agrigento sites”
We arrived to a very warm welcome from the owner, Laura. The villa is located off the beaten track and, although the unmade road is a little bumpy, this was no problem for us at all. The road leads … More
