An Argentinian woman was in for the shock of her life after the hotel room she booked for her Italian vacation turned out to be entirely different from what she was expecting. Clarisa Murgia said she had paid a fortune to book a hotel room with an idyllic ¡°seaside¡± view. Impressed by the photos in the online advertisement, she paid extra for a ¡°seaside¡± room at a bed and breakfast, expecting it to be her best vacation.
Expectation vs reality
But when she reached the resort, something was amiss, and the resort was far less idyllic than what was in the photos. The nasty surprise reached an all-new level when she reached her room. Instead of the perfect seaside view she was hoping for, there was a photo of the sea pasted on the wall of a building opposite her room.

I got scammed

¡°No one has ever deceived me like this before,¡± she said.
The video showed a ¡°marine vista¡± which appeared to be the view from the room¡¯s deck, but when the camera got closer, it became clear that the sea was actually just a poster on a building opposite the hotel.
