Villa Mesco

Great space and views. Walk down to beach and town ok however coming back up is quite steep

I have never written a negative review on Vrbo, but our stay at the Villa “Mesco” in Levanto turned out to be a disaster. I wish we would have chosen a different place. The whole experience was very disappointing, to say the least. The photos make the place look so nice; it is a beautiful location high on a hill, but the reality was far from it. We were 2 families traveling together, 3 adults and 3 young adults (19-21) for a four-night stay. We were prepared for no air conditioning, but not prepared for a bug infestation. While having to keep the windows open because of the heat—and no window screens— wasps were flying all around; likely there was a nest or two somewhere. Along with the wasps, there were carpenter ants crawling out of the walls in the bathrooms, bedrooms, and the kitchen. Spiders adorned the guest cottage ceiling and more carpenter ants doing a conga line in the bathroom. We did our best to address the problem by clogging the holes, sweeping the ceiling of spiders, and killing some wasps, but we were outnumbered. Not really something you want to deal with when you first arrive at a vacation rental. Our kids nicknamed it the “hell house”. My husband and I had to swap rooms with our daughter because she was terrified by the spiders and carpenter ants in the cottage. We told our host, Paolo, about the bugs, and he came over right away. He said he took care of them, but wasps were still flying around after he told us that. Apart

Paolo was amazingly helpful and the views are better than the photography showed.

The rooms were clean but the waste issue was not nice. The kitchen was working well and the outside tables/chairs as well. The pool was very small and not in a good condition. The place is not good for small children. The road to the place was horribly, very challenging to get there by car and you need at least a SUV and even then difficult.The host was vey nice and helpful

Very pleasant all around
