Gutes Hotel mit gut gelegener Ausgangslage für Tagesausflüge
Pros:

Das Zentrum mit etlichen Restaurants ist fußläufig gut erreichbar. Das Hotel bietet sich sehr gut für Tagesausflüge in der Umgebung an. Das Frühstück war für italienische Verhältnisse gut und der Parkplatz war optimal. Das Hotel bietet auch ein Restaurant für den Abend an. Die Pizzen waren dort sehr gut!

Cons:

Dem Poolbereich würde vermutlich eine Sanierung (Liegen/ Schirme) gut tun aber alles in allem ist er in Ordnung.

lo rifarei
Pros:

posto molto bello, personale gentilissimo e super accogliente. Le signore all'accettazione molto carine entrambe, ci hanno aiutato consigliandoci bene per i nostri itinerari, dandoci delle dritte su dove trovare parcheggio, sull'intensità del traffico in determinate ore.

Cons:

Avrei preferito una stanza in alto con vista panoramica ma soprattutto lontana dal sala del ristorante, che era il nostro soffitto. Una notte probabilmente per riordinare i tavoli abbiamo avvertito un rumore discontinuo provenire dall'alto. Ma fortunatamente è stato un episodio isolato

Pros:

The hotel is located in a beautiful area with sea views. Our room had direct access to a terrace overlooking the sea, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The room was clean, comfortable, and cleaned every day. Breakfast was tasty and offered a good variety of sweet options.

Cons:

The hotel is located close to a railway line and a busy road, which made it quite noisy at times. The steep uphill walk to the hotel can also be challenging if you are not travelling by car. Although the room was clean, there was an unpleasant sewage smell coming from the bathroom, which seemed to be covered up with air fresheners. The breakfast lacked variety when it came to vegetables, with only cherry tomatoes and cucumbers available. Around the pool, many of the sun loungers were worn out, and there were not enough umbrellas. The umbrellas were not arranged very well, so guests often had to move them around themselves to create some shade.
