Great holiday house. Really liked the Pool and nice people
I stayed at Borgo del Silencio for five days. While the location itself is undeniably beautiful and peaceful, the overall experience was disappointing due to several issues that need attention. First and foremost, cleanliness was a major concern. The rooms were not properly cleaned, and we encountered numerous spiders throughout the stay. Shockingly, we even found a wood scorpion in one of the apartments, which was very unsettling. It’s clear that better pest control and more thorough cleaning are urgently needed. Basic amenities were also lacking. There were no trash bags provided, and the coffee machine available only worked with specific pods they were selling on-site—there was no regular coffee maker. Additionally, no pool towels were supplied, which made using the pool less convenient. The condition of the buildings was another issue. Many walls in the houses were cracked, clearly showing signs of neglect and a lack of proper renovation over time. Overall, the setting has great potential, but the property falls short in terms of cleanliness, amenities, and maintenance. With some serious improvements, it could be a wonderful place to stay—but as it stands, I would not recommend it.
Disappointed.☹️ We recently spent five nights at Borgo del Silencio. While the location is charming and the natural surroundings are peaceful, our experience was unfortunately marred by several issues that need improvement. Cleanliness was our biggest concern. The rooms had spiders throughout, and one of the apartments even had a wood scorpion. This made us feel quite uncomfortable during the stay. Cleaning clearly wasn’t thorough, and it gave the impression that upkeep is not a priority. Basic necessities were also missing: no trash bags were provided, and the coffee machine only worked with specific pods sold on the property—there was no standard coffee option available. We also weren’t given any pool towels, which was inconvenient given the amenities advertised. The buildings themselves are showing signs of serious wear. Cracked walls and aging interiors suggest that proper renovation hasn’t been done in a long time. Borgo del Silencio could be a truly special place if these issues were addressed. For now, though, the lack of attention to detail made our stay less enjoyable than it could have been.
