I travel quite a bit, both for work and leisure, and I try to stay open-minded when exploring new accommodations. That said, I found Villa Boscardi to be a bit overpriced for what it offers.
The location is somewhat convenient to the airport, which is helpful if you have an early flight or are arriving late. However, it’s much farther from the port (which is important if you’re catching a ferry or cruise), and the surrounding area is strictly residential. You’ll definitely need reliable, pre-arranged transportation — public transit options are minimal to nonexistent, and this isn’t a walkable area with shops or eateries nearby.
The property itself is more of a large home than a full-service hotel or inn. The housekeeper was very kind and welcoming, which I appreciated. But from a value standpoint, the nightly rate felt high relative to the amenities provided. For the price point, I was expecting either more convenience, more comfort, or a more well-rounded experience.
Bottom line: If proximity to the airport is your top priority and you have your own transportation arranged, it may serve your needs. But if you’re looking for a more centrally located, walkable option or better value for your money you may want to explore other choices.
