Brilliant .
Pros:

Absolutely everything. Unique and beautifully renovated . Excellent food from what must be a great chef . The food could have been a bit hotter if I’m to be at all critical. The mango desert was original and divine !

Nothing to dislike .

Ein schöner Aufenthalt am Meer. Es war herrlich ruhig und das Hotel ist schon besonders.
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr schön. Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer. Sehr schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war ok, aber ich hätte mir mehr erwartet. Das Brot war nicht wirklich toll und es gab auch der Kaffee nicht wirklich gut.

Pros:

La posizione

Cons:

La struttura avrebbe bisogno di una rinfrescata, la zona ombrelloni è un po’ abbandonata.

Pros:

La gradevole atmosfera percepita nel varcare il cancello d’ingresso, amplificata durante la permanenza, è che mi accompagnerà nei miei ricordi.

Cons:

Mi è spiaciuto vedere il personale (che per ovvie ragioni di logistica) per effettuare il servizio hai commensali dovevano in continuazione salire e scendere le scale per raggiungere le cucine e servire i tavoli. (Mettiamola così… ne ha beneficiato la loro forma fisica)

Kauniin rannan tutkiskelua, mukava ja avulias henkilökunta. Todella kaunis paikka!
Pros:

Aamiainen oli hyvä ja monipuolinen (esim. jugurttia ja mysliä oli saatavilla, eikä pelkkää makeaa). Paikka on todellakin omassa rauhassaan eikä lokakuussa ollut lähistöllä kuin kaksi ravintolaa, jotka olivat rajoitetusti auki. Meillä ei ollut omaa autoa käytössä joten olimme hiukan jumissa, mutta onneksi pizzan sai tilattua hotellille helposti. Ranta hotellin edustalla on ihana (paljon tutkittavaa lapsille, kauniita kiviä ja simpukoita, puhdasta vettä) ja lähellä on kävelypolkuja. Hotellille pääsee mutkaista vuoristotietä pitkin, jossa italialaiset ajavat tyypilliseen tapaansa lujaa (eli sitä pitkin kävely esim. toiselle rannalle ei ole suotavaa). Matka Anconan juna-asemalta taksilla maksoi 40 euroa.

Cons:

Hotellin eristäytyneisyys, kesäsesongin ulkopuolella matkustettaessa palveluita oli todella vähän lähialueella tai ne olivat vain rajoitetusti auki.
