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.

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
