2/10 Terrible

Beautiful vista - unclean, more than basic
We spent two weeks traveling around South Sicily and loved waking up to the beach and sleeping to the sound of waves. However, our stay at this property was disappointing. We were the first guests of the season, and the house was not clean—dirty dishes, dusty floors, and sand under rugs. The bathroom and kitchen were extremely basic (see photos). We cleaned ourselves just to feel comfortable.The property is right on the beach, but access is unsafe: a broken wall and a 1.5m drop make it dangerous for kids or anyone with mobility issues.Before arrival, the host tried to switch us to a more expensive house (100 more) via WhatsApp, which goes against VRBO policy. We declined. Upon arrival, we were met by someone who only spoke Italian, with no clear instructions or working Wi-Fi. I couldn’t work remotely for a week, and even after it was fixed, the signal only worked slowly in the garden.On departure, we were told to remove all rubbish—inc. from septic toilet. We complied, and the bin man collected everything. Still, the host falsely claimed we left trash and charged 100. The photo he shared wasn’t our rubbish. It felt like a setup to extract more money. VRBO has offered no support despite evidence. This host is dishonest and should not be trusted.
