We stayed for one night at the Hotel la Viletta during November 2007 our previous experience being for three nights at the nearby Hotel Principe Eugenio a two star establishment but which was full for this particular evening.
Our room was clean and, following a little cajoling to the receptionist the heating , when turned on, was adequate. If one looks beyond the fancy paintwork, the room was small for a hotel of this category. The "bathroom" however, while being clean was diminutive and it wasn't really practicable to wash hair at the wash basin without pushing uncomfortably onto the toilet.
The real disappointment though lay in the breakfast, or rather lack of it! One cup of coffee or tea, a small packet of that dreadful "toast" accompanied by a capsule of the fruit flavoured "Eurogel" and a biscuit. I have travelled quite extensively in Italy and really this was the most inadequate breakfast that I have encountered, either in a three star or lower category hotel, for many years.
From the start the staff clearly had little interest in the clients beyond their money and it was with a measure of relief that we returned to our previous hotel with its friendly family and excellent breakfast.
No, we will not be returning to La Viletta. Poor value for money.
