But Ceccon joined a growing list of athletes complaining about the 'subpar' standards in the Olympic Village.
He still managed to pick up gold in the 100m backstroke on Monday, despite his protests over the living conditions.
And now the Italian star has sought to solving the problem is own way - by sleeping OUTSIDE to seek a rest from fatigue.
Ceccon spread a white towel on the grass and enjoyed a nap under a tree next to a bench during a break from rain on Saturday.
He looked the picture of comfort as he laid on his left side, sporting a pair of Italy crested shorts and left his trainers parked at his feet.
Saudi rower Husein Alireza caught Ceccom napping and posted it on his Instagram, tagging the location as inside the Olympic Village grounds.
It is unclear whether the picture was taken before or after Ceccom and his team-mates failed to reach the final of the 4x100m men's medley final - which Adam Peaty is set to return in on Sunday night.
The 23-year-old publicly complained about his accommodations immediately after he failed to make the 200m backstroke final on Wednesday.
He said: "There is no air conditioning in the village, it's hot, the food is bad.
"Many athletes move for this reason: it's not an alibi or excuse, it's the reality of what perhaps not everyone knows.
"I'm disappointed that I didn't make the final but I was too tired. It's hard to sleep both at night and in the afternoon.
"Usually, when I'm at home, I always sleep in the afternoon: here I really struggle between the heat and the noise"
And Ceccon - who is also a world record holder in the 100m backstroke - is not the only athlete to find serious faults with the living arrangements.
SunSport approached the Italian team for comment and they responded: "We have nothing to add."
