Palazzo dei Normanni

Tout était parfait

1. We were unhappy that we couldn't switch drivers; the designated driver had forgotten or lost their license, and the rental agency (Goldstar) refused to rent us the same vehicle. They had no other cars available to offer us, so we had to figure out our own way to our accommodation. 2. The second unpleasant surprise was that the room we had booked at Hotel Artemisia turned out to be unavailable—which was particularly frustrating given how tired we were. They directed us to another hotel and paid for the taxi at no extra cost beyond the accommodation fee, but we had been hoping to rest, as it was already past 10 PM. 3. It was great that they managed to find us a car at our destination, though the rental agent had very limited operating hours. 4. The accommodation itself was nice. However, the location was isolated; without a car, it was difficult to reach the pleasant, safe beaches, and there were no amenities nearby. We had to wait until the next day to get the rental car before we could go shopping for supplies, having arrived late at night due to the difficulty we’d had reaching the location.
