Any issues we had were rectified quickly, the facilities in the hotel are amazing. Great Hotel for active people
Pros:

Pool is amazing, salt water from the ocean. Breakfast was good, more fresh fruit options would have been better

Cons:

The rooms weren’t at the same standard as the common areas of the property, not enough power points in the room

"La vita è bella quando si può godere di una vista mozzafiato come questa!" 🌊🏖️
Pros:

"Questo hotel è stato un'esperienza indimenticabile! La posizione sul costone roccioso a ridosso del mare è semplicemente mozzafiato. Il rumore delle onde che si infrangono sugli scogli la notte è stato un vero e proprio spettacolo per le mie orecchie.

Ma non è solo la vista a rendere questo hotel speciale: il servizio e la cordialità dell'equipe sono stati davvero eccezionali. Tutti, dal personale della reception ai camerieri del ristorante, hanno dimostrato una gentilezza e una disponibilità che hanno reso il nostro soggiorno ancora più piacevole.

E poi c'è la piscina, che è semplicemente favolosa! Ma il vero pezzo forte è stato scendere i 130 scalini per raggiungere il mare e godersi la vista spettacolare che si apre davanti agli occhi. È stato un'esperienza unica e indimenticabile.

In sintesi, consiglio vivamente questo hotel a chiunque cerchi un'esperienza di vacanza unica e rilassante. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccezionale e il personale è davvero speciale. Tornerò sicuramente!"

5 stelle senza dubbio!

Sereno, rasserenante, indimenticabile.
Pros:

Colazione ottima e con varietà di scelta. Personale accogliente e disponibilissimo. Clima familiare. Piscina con acqua di mare ottima e ben tenuta. Accesso al mare su una scogliera ripida, ma comunque accessibile (anche se con fatica). Atmosfera super tranquilla, il vero relax che cercavamo. Pensiamo di tornarci, perché ci è rimasto nel cuore.

Cons:

Piccoli dettagli, già segnalati, nella distribuzione degli spazi nel bagno.

Sehr schön ruhig zum Erholen, Meerblick genießen und morgens schwimmen.
Pros:

Die Lage und die ganze Anlage am steilen Felsgelände sind phänomenal, das Personal sehr nett. Der Blick vom Frühstückstisch- ob drinnen oder draußen- ist irre schön! Frühstück: nicht zuviel, aber alles da und frisch, aromatisches Obst, Joghurt, frisch gebackene Kuchen, Oliven, Tomaten…
Der Meerzugang über 200 Stufen ist ein kleines Abenteuer, bei wenig Wellengang ein Traum vor allem morgens.
In 10 min ist man zu Fuß in Castro, nettes Örtchen mit Trattoria.
Bocciabahn war auch fein!

Cons:

Einige Ecken sind in die Jahre gekommen und bräuchten etwas Renovierung.
Für uns prima Fitness zwischendurch, für andere Sachen evt zuviel: viele Treppen.

Ogni volta ci ritorno perché mi fa rilassare
Pros:

Ottima location per come è posizionata .
È la seconda volta che ci ritorno, andrebbero rifatte tutte le stanze ormai datate come i condizionatori rumorosi e materassi andati.
Ha un altissimo potenziale ma non viene sfruttato

Cons:

Le camere, andrebbero rifatte
