Great if You Like Cold Showers
We loved the place, EXCEPT for an absolute deal breaker—Not Enough Hot Water For Even ONE Person to Shower.
Fine for two (no more), and really appreciated the design and build quality. So it was an incredible disappointment to find out that, if we wanted to shower, we had to set the water level at “chinese water torture” and rush, rush, rush.
I don’t need fancy, but I do need the basics: comfortable bed (check), good refrigeration (check) and a good shower (NO, NO, NO!).
We NEVER would have stayed there had we known that the hot water supply (supposedly about 20 gallons) Never once gave us enough hot water to shower. And I think I know why. This is in the Dolomites, which is where the water comes from. Dolomite is magnesium calcium carbonate. So if the water heater is not cleaned out every year, it will collect mineral residue that diminishes the water capacity. I suspect the owner has not maintained the water heater properly.
I have a 50 gallon water heater at home in the States. It is always fine for two people to take long showers, back to back. So do I believe that there is 20 gallons of water in the tank at the loft? I do not.
Even one person showering must hurry hurry hurry through it, because (even if it’s set on a trickle) it will run out before you can get clean.
If it hadn’t been for that 100% fatal flaw, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the place. But without being able to shower without freezing, I have to say “stay away.”
