My stay at Ca' Del Pomo Grana was a complete disappointment. I tried reaching out the day before arrival via message and phone, but received no response. Upon arriving on-site, there was no signboard and no doorbell to be found. I called the number listed again, but nobody answered. With a young child in tow, I had no choice but to scramble for an alternative solution on my own. To make matters worse, they charged me for the entire stay despite me never actually checking in. The lack of basic communication, clear signage, and professionalism made this experience extremely stressful and frustrating. I cannot recommend this property to anyone—avoid it at all costs.
