This was the worst travel experience I’ve had in over 20 years of international travel. Limehome blatantly advertises this property as “air conditioned” — but the A/C did not work for a single day of our 2-week stay. Temperatures inside the unit exceeded 31°C (88°F) daily and never got below 28°C (82°F). I reported the issue repeatedly, begged for multiple fans (only one arrived after 48 hours), and was told to “give it time. It should get better.” Our four young children, including a 3-year-old, had to sleep in sweltering heat, waking up drenched in sweat every night. Other families staying there confirmed the same problem — this wasn’t a fluke, it was a building-wide failure. Many of these other families left immediately or after just one night because the conditions were so bad.
Limehome has no staff on-site, no ability to fix serious problems, and clearly no regard for the wellbeing of guests. When I complained after the trip, they offered a pathetic refund as a “gesture of good will” and won’t take responsibility for anything. Book this place if you enjoy heat exhaustion and being treated like you don’t matter.
Rome was great, and the people were mostly nice, but many of the locals in Pigneto don’t want you there. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid walking alone at night.
If you do decide to book the property, here’s a pro tip: run the shower on cold and blow a fan on high through the water to take a brief break from hell on earth.
