Hotel Valsabbion

We stayed in the penthouse suite. Upon first viewing, it is very spacious with its own pool, and indoor and outdoor lounge area. It even has gym equipment. The penthouse consumes the entire top floor. Lower floors have 4 or 5 apartments. Now the bad part - It is not a place I can recommend staying at for more than two nights. While style is nice, functionality is critical. Like what? A list: Bathroom: no light in the shower; the bathroom mirror is hung so low, literally unless you are shorter than 5'2", you have to flex your knees to see yourself; no towel bars or toilet roll holder; no counterspace to put things on. Room: no table, desk or bed nightstands. The TV stand is all of 0.3 meters off the floor, so the TV is hardly visible. The furnishings are not coordinated. There are too many sofa lounges and no table or desk. To access the outdoor patio area, one must step on a rickety step ladder and climb onto the deck. There should be permanent steps to access this as there is loads of metal flashing etc to cut yourself on. Breakfast was lovely. The location is great. It is very clear that a lot of money was spent on the property. But from experience, I can say that the layout, allocation of space, furnishings and general items such as, towel bars are so noticeably lacking its is not worthy of a high score. I've flown somewhere between 4-5 million miles and have stayed in places of good to exceptional quality. Valsabbion is not among them.
