About this apartment rental

Spectacular, elegant, spacious, very bright, comfortable apartment close to the sea and the historic center of Vieste, with breathtaking views that range from the emerald sea of the harbor to, below the house, the enchanting beach of Marina Piccola.
The result of a recently completed complete renovation, located on the third floor of a building with a lift (which cannot be found in Vieste in the historic center and with this view), the accommodation, of around 100 m2, is air-conditioned and consists of two bedrooms , one with a double bed and the other with two single beds, two bathrooms in fine ceramic, equipped with showers, and finally a living area with atrium, desk corner, open kitchen, dining room and living room also equipped with a sofa double bed.
The apartment also has an extraordinary balcony which, with its 14 meters in length, gives light to all the rooms and one of the two bathrooms. And, as if it were the side deck of a ship magically moored in Marina Piccola, it overlooks the changing colors of the scenic sea of Vieste. The balcony, with its 25 m2, also allows for pleasant living at any time of the day or evening. Equipped with table, chairs and deckchairs, it is an extraordinary place for an aperitif or dinner, as well as for sunbathing in the morning or for reading and entertaining in the afternoon and evening.
But unforgettable is the view that, even from inside the house, is always in your eyes: it includes the ancient outline of the town made up of cubic white houses crowded on the sloping hill, on which the spire of the Cathedral and the cyclopean walls of the Castle stand out . Dense cluster of medieval buildings that end, overlooking the sea, with the bastion of the Church of Punta San Francesco. While on the left from the nearby rock of Sant'Eufemia, the profile of the large lighthouse lantern stands out.
Right below the house it is possible to dive into the transparent waters of the Marina Piccola beach. While the large beaches of Vieste are easily reachable on foot with a short walk of a quarter of an hour, especially that of San Lorenzo, but Pizzomunno also requires only a few more steps. By car, obviously, even the most distant beaches can be reached in a few minutes.
The port, and therefore the embarkation point for the Caves or the Tremiti Islands or even the pier for renting dinghies, are located behind the accommodation, not even 100 meters away. There are also some, very few free parking spaces available on the seafront, which is very rare in Vieste, but above all, which is equally rare in the centre. In any case, 50 meters from the house there is an affiliated car park, uncovered but guarded, and large paid car parks are always easily accessible, especially near the port. Finally, bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets and even the pedestrian area are within walking distance, but the particular position of the apartment, away from the seafront, protects from the evening noise.
Finally, the stylistic code of the furnishings tries to rediscover, a hundred years later, the life balance of a cultured, liberal and Central European bourgeoisie of the first decades of the last century, combining fine furniture of the period, mostly art deco, together with contemporary examples of cabinetmaking that recall ancient inlay techniques, such as the precious Piedmontese dining table or the small Provençal desk with olive root flap. Furniture carefully restored and combined with interesting modern design elements such as the kitchen lacquered with an aubergine color gloss or furnishing lamps or the very modern waterfall taps or, again, the handles made, to design, with lost wax castings in brass . The sense of comfort and well-being that the house inspires in its guests is completed by the large quantity of carpets and paintings in every room: in particular, original paintings and fakes coexist happily.

First let me say that this property is exactly as depicted in the photos/description. The view is outstanding, the location is perfect -- a five-minute walk from the center of Vieste. I would book this property again and would recommend it to others. BUT. You need to know several things: First, the owner lives out of town and sends the surly/unhelpful Vassily to "welcome" you. He has zero interest in helping you figure out how to park, zero interest in telling you about Vieste. His excuse was that he didn't speak English. Well, I speak Italian, and he wasn't interested in speaking to me in Italian either. He wanted to let us in and get out. Second, you need to accept the "nickle and dime" aspect of paying extra for towels and internet. This is very clearly stated in the description, but it is still hard to swallow. You pay 10 euros per person for the kind of towels I used in junior high gym class. You pay 13 euros for four days of internet. There is NOTHING, I repeat nothing, in the apartment for your use. No dish soap, no paper towels, you are provided exactly one dishwasher pellet, no soap in the showers. Each bathroom gets one roll of toilet paper. Third, the upkeep is not the best. We discovered someone else's clothing in one of the closets. Three of the four light bulbs in the second bathroom were burned out. Fourth, there is noise from the scooter repair shop downstairs and the construction going on on the floor above. But the view! Made the rest of it tolerable.

As all other reviewers have said, there is a great view from this spacious apartment. It is, however, a no frills rental. Few of the so-called "amenities" (which I read as included in the rental) were actually free; some (like parking) weren't even guaranteed. Unlike all the other VRBO owners we rented from on this trip in Southern Italy -- all of whom were unfailingly welcoming and generous -- this owner was purely transactional. I felt like I was being nickled and dimed for the most basic "amenities" -- like towels, heat, and wifi. Caveat emptor and read the fine print.

The apartment is beautiful, comfortable with views to die for! Luigi was easy to communicate with and very friendly. My only recommendation is to provide some basic things for using the kitchen (a sponge and a few extra dishwasher soaps and dish towels). Otherwise, the kitchen is well equipped for cooking. Really - everything about this place is excellent and we had a great time in Vieste and the surrounding area. Thank you, Luigi!

The location was the jewel! Nice to be able to walk easily into town. Parking was an issue. With those issues it was still a great place to stay.

Schmuckstück mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
Schmuckstück mit kleinen Schönheitsfehlern
Schließen uns den positiven Vorbewertungen insgesamt an. Allerdings fanden wir folgende Punkte nicht so toll: Betten im Einzelzimmer quietschen bei jeder Bewegung - alte Möbel sind schön aber das Quietschen sollte beseitigt werden. Der Balkon konnte selbst morgens Anfang Oktober nicht genutzt werden, weil es zu heiss war - ein Sonnenschutz wie andere Wohnungen ihn vorweisen wäre wünschenswert. Die Gesamtsumme für Miete und bes. der Kaution schon 6 Monate vorher einzuziehen, fanden wir unverhältnismäßig - das kann man kundenfreundlicher gestalten wie andere Vermieter es auch tun. Wer über diese Punkte hinwegsieht, dem sei die Wohnung ans Herz gelegt.
