Sad to see a holiday center in ruins...In the 80s we were there on family vacation. It's a shame to leave it like this...

Beautiful bucolic walk in the countryside, a place in decay!!! Far from its former glory, it's sad to see such negligence

Large poorly maintained park, too bad. For the terrace we would have liked a parasol, impossible to hold in direct sunlight. We did not get the accommodation we had booked. Kitchen utensils not as described. No electric kettle. In short, we were disappointed

The only positive point: the place, the castle offers a quiet place however promise not kept and does not correspond to the announcement on booking. Negative points : We had reserved gîte 7 on booking and we had gîte 1. Perhaps the accommodations are all alike but we are not supposed to know it so I do not find it normal not to have had the gîte booked on the site because it does not correspond to an upgrade. In the description on the site which, moreover, was really poor in detail, there were noted two bathrooms, Wifi, according to the photos, towels and sheets were included. However, when we arrived, surprised to find that sheets and towels were not included and paid for, that there was only one bathroom, and no Wifi. In addition, we learned, once we left, of the presence of a swimming pool and a tennis court. Why didn't anyone tell us about it at the reception?? As for the gîte, what a disappointment, the cleaning had not been done at all! When we entered, there was dirt on the floor with hair in all the rooms, ants everywhere in the kitchen and even in the fridge in which there was still blood from meat that had dried, the dishes were not very clean, greasy hob, bathroom drain didn't work properly, chewing gum was stuck on the upstairs windows and we found urine on the toilet seat!!! !! One of the managers came by and we told him about it. All he found to answer us was "yet the cleaning is done by an outside company". Well, in our accommodation it was not done, and the manager didn't even apologize for that. So we had to clean ourselves which is a bit shameful and disappointing. No compensation has been offered to us and when I see the price I have to pay, I see that in fact no compensation will be offered to us or has been made. I will certainly not return, it is a shame because there is potential. I will end by saying that we have had no apologies or compensation from a manager or otherwise. We even had the impression of a lack of interest in what we had brought up. Having an affordable price does not justify all the negative points.

Awfull! The day of our arrival they told us that bedlinen was not provided and they didnt offer any (even for a price). As a result we had to buy new bedlinen on which we had to sleep unwashed! Because they were not able to tell us this simple info in advance we (including little children) had to sleep our first night on bedlinen that reeked of chemicals! And the 2nd day started with the search for a laundromat. But that was only the beginning: the place they gave us was in the abandoned part of the parc. It didn't look anything like the pictures we saw when we booked! The weeds outside were not tended and full of garbage! The inside of the place was more or less ok, if you ignored the mouse or rat excrements in the bath, the unusable pans, the dirty marks on the bathroom floor and the lack of bedlinen. The day after our arrival we complained in the reception but they told us they couldnt do anything! Later we discovered that just outside our "house" roof shingles were falling down! Were our son played before! That was enough! We left and had to find another place short notice, which was not cheap mid august!

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
