Villa Saphir

Punti positivi: The place is well located if you have only one day and want to see the two main museums and also go to Monte Carlo. That assumes you can find it. The address in the ads is not correct and it's up an alley with no signs.

Punti negativi: Claims to include breakfast. Did not. Claims to have wifi. Did not. The woman is rude and strange. Huge steep steps and no help with the luggage. Dog is underfoot and gnaws at your feet. The woman was not there in the morning and when she finally showed up and I asked her to call me a cab, she gave me a lecture TWICE about how I should walk (1.9 km to the station) or take the bus. We EACH had two suitcases and a backpack. Hello? The place is run down and gloomy and there is junk all over the yard. When the promised and PAID FOR breakfast did not materialize, my friend asked for coffee. Coffee was given, but then she was told (ordered, really) to drink it in the room and not on the terrace. Avoid this weird, Norman Bates type experience.
