The location of La Villette described as near the sea is misleading. In fact, the sea at that spot is bordered by stones, which makes access difficult and pointless. The beaches are all 15–20 minutes away by car. Furthermore, the presentation of the house is deceptive. It was clearly stated that the bathroom was not in the bedroom. The bedroom, very small, was on the first floor, reached by a very steep and very narrow staircase. We thought the bathroom would be on the same floor. Alas, it was located on the ground floor in a corner under the staircase and so small that we could not take a shower. As for using it at night, it was a real ordeal. Considering the location of this house, far from the beaches, and the discomfort of the rooms, which is not specified on the website (which only shows the flattering aspects), staying at La Villette was a mistake we regret. The way it is presented is misleading.

The answer from the host:
We are deeply disappointed to read these words, especially after the commitment, helpfulness, and advice we tried to offer before and during your stay, as well as our insistence on renting a car, all to make your experience as pleasant as possible.
The description of the location and the house is accurate and reflects the listing, accompanied by real photos and precise details. The beach below the house, as indicated, is natural and rocky, appreciated by those who love tranquility, but there is also a beautiful sandy beach just a 5-minute walk away, while other sandy beaches are, as mentioned, just a few minutes' drive away. Everything can be checked on our website or via Google Maps.
We sincerely regret that the house and the surroundings did not meet your expectations, but we believe we have always communicated with transparency and fairness.
Enjoy your life.
Gian Domenico.
