The apartment was a ten minute walk away from the reception, which was at a hotel. We had no car, so didn't appreciate, having arrived, 10 minute walks in the heat to collect keys. The air con controller was missing. The bedside light bulb was not working. One of the knobs on the gas hob was broken so, having turned the gas off, it was still actually on. Thankfully, we could smell it so could deal with it, but there was an accident waiting to happen. On the second day, we could not get back into the apartment. The lock on the door of the shutters was broken. The first man who came out to repair it hadn't brought any tools - I think he thought we were just doing something wrong - so a second was needed with tools. He mended it with brute force as the lock barrel had warped. We were kept sitting out in the heat for about an hour. As my wife had returned to the apartment because of a headache in the first place, this was very trying for her.
San Vito Lo Capo was lovely, but I wouldn't return to these apartments. The size of rooms and standard of furnishing was good, but there were too many things that went wrong, and the gas thing could have been lethal.
