When I stay at a Relais & Chateaux property, there is a certain expectation I have of the hotel – a unique property in a lovely location, with amenities and décor equal to the high price tag one pays to stay a night at these properties. The Villa Fiordaliso had all these, although the modern design and furniture in our large room was slightly jarring when compared to the rest of the lush Italianate antique-heavy hotel. ||Unfortunately, for this hotel/villa, one can also add the persistent street noise that continues throughout the night of large trucks and whining scooters from its location next to a busy highway. This is annoying, but tolerable. ||However, on the weekends, there is an outdoor techno-music disco/nightclub that is located on the property at the Torre San Marco which blasts loud music with a heavy bass beat until VERY late night (think 3 am) into the early morning. ||When I voiced my complaint, the management pointed out the fine print in the email sent to my travel agent (which I never saw – so boo on my travel agent) noting the possible late night noise from their nightclub and/or events (weddings, birthdays, etc). As these events are very likely during the summer months because the location really is incredibly lovely, be aware that the nightclub will also be in operation and that sleep may be impacted. ||So buyer beware…read the fine print of your emails and avoid this lovely villa if you want sleep. |
