Le pido a mi compañero que llame a la residencia y pregunte por el equipo de cocina porque nuestro pequeño hijo. Le dijeron que la cocina está bien equipada. Así que asumí que no necesitaba traer nada conmigo. Algunos de los cubiertos estaban oxidados. . . y la mayoría de los platos eran bastante viejos. No había ni siquiera el hervidor. . . que pensé hoy en día está en todas partes. . . Había suficiente luz en la cocina. La cama era grande, pero a mi lado el colchón se sentía como un trampolín. . . Así que pedimos una manta más para poner debajo. . . Nosotros mismos. . . La secadora estaba toda oxidada y dañó algo de nuestra ropa. . . Cuando usábamos la lavadora, la ropa estaba aún más sucia que antes. . . Eso no molestaría tanto como a una de las recepcionistas que no me saludó primero ni siquiera respondió mis saludos. . . Chico joven, sin sonreír, atrapado en su móvil. . . En general, el lugar estaba bastante limpio y la piscina era superior!

We have more then ones over the last couple of years stayed at colle dei pini. And each time it has worked very well as a perfect base. It has all the basic requirement, but also the possibility for use of pool and a nice terrace to enjoy the morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. And the price considered it makes a very good base. The apartment we had last time nr. 11, is very nice. it has a little kitchen in open connection with the living room which also has 2 beds, a very good size bedroom, a good size bathroom and a nice terrace. A nice clean base at a good price.

“Beware it is in 3 locations along a very steep road!”

The address can be misleading as we discovered with our taxi driver, it lists as 7-41-51, these are the 3 different properties on the same road.

The address can be misleading as we discovered with our taxi driver, it lists as 7-41-51, these are the 3 different properties on the same road. You need to go to 7 Via dei Pini for a reception - which is only open at set hours, not open at all on a Sunday. Our first problem was getting through the gate to the reception - no one seemed keen to let us in. Once in, no one spoke any English, I was told by phone that we would not be staying at number 7 and that the gentleman there would take us to our apartment. So we jumped in his truck and got taken to 51 Via dei Pini. Top of a very steep road! We had booked a 2 bedroom apartment - so we can only assume that these were all the 2 bedroom ones. The apartment was ok, plenty of room, only downside all single beds. 2 in each bedroom and 2 in the living area. There was a seating area at the front door but no balcony to appreciate the view. Also a swimming pool. Only problem was the location, 51 is on the junction of 2 busy roads - so if you are used to sleeping next to the M6 then no problem but for us it meant little sleep. Also there is no air con and no fans! So you shut the windows to try and reduce the road noise and boil to death. Oh and they don't do kettles - so bring a travel one unless you like boiling a pan! So we decided to ask if we could move from this apartment - at this point we were the only people up here. The trek to the nearest supermarket was a killer on the way back. We got told there would be a one bedroom available at 7 Via dei pini on the Saturday. They were very helpful in moving us as we were going to be out all day at the MotoGP. Good job we did move as on the Saturday night there is a big nightclub just up the road from 51 Via dei pini, so it would have been road noise & nightclub noise. 41 could also hear the noise. We moved to apartment 5 in 7 Via dei Pini. Probably their worst apartment as it is ground floor and all the steps to the other aprtments mean going past the back of apartment 5 which is where the bedroom is! But there was only 1 night that was really noisy to the early hours. The apartment was a good size. Nice double bed, bathroom functional - probably could do with a good clean & paint. Nice new kitchen, plenty of wardrobe space and a sofa bed and chair bed in the front room. In the 2 bed apartment there was a nice flat screen tele and could get CNN and eurosport (though not english eurosport). In apartment 5 there was the smallest portable and not one channel with any English. Not that we had gone to watch the tele but I do like to see the news now and again. Also in apartment 5, no air con and no fans. Bearing in mind it was over 30C in the daytime and probably only dropping to 25 at night, so very hot. Must mention the beds - all of them - like sleeping on a plank! Very hard as were the pillows. Don't know if we would have got fresh towles if we hadn't moved, no one comes in to clean whilst you are there and so thinking that the towels have to last all week. There is no shop/bar at the apartments. The mini supermarket is about 7 mins walk away - next to bar Tiffiny on the main road. The big supermarket 15 mins. Beach front 20 - 25 mins walk. We walked to the Misano circuit from the apartments - took approx 40 mins to Prato 2 and an hour to Brutapela. There is a free bus, but they are packed! Oh and insect bites - everyone got bitten to death. Even those who never get bitten got bites. So plenty of sprays and plug ins! In fact I would take a mozzie net and tape it over the bed if I went again. Oh and learn some Italian - very few people spoke any English. Buses buy your tickets before you get on as it is cheaper. We hired push bikes as we wanted to go to Tavullia and there are limited ways to get there. Great fun cycling along the front as all cycle paths and nice and flat. Road to Tavullia is not flat! But we made it :)
