I'm sure that you've already read enough stories about the horrible dictator running this place, so I'll spare you the gory details. Suffice it to say that this is not just typical Southern Italian manners being misconstrued as malice. This woman is truly mad. It's also impossible to sleep due to the incredibly loud bar outside the rooms, which is open until 3AM every night. Do yourself the favor of spending a few extra euros to avoid the inevitable horrible experience. It's well well worth it
