Beautiful, cosy stay in the heart of Santa Cesare Terme
Pros:

The hotel is very beautiful and located very close to the sea and main attraction of the city, including the natural sulfuric baths. The staff was also very attentive and nice, helping me with my transfer to Lecce. As I had to leave very early in the morning, they arranged to have my breakfast in my room the evening before. Highly recommend it!

Cons:

Nothing.

Soggiorno perfetto, camere bellissime e staff gentilissimo. Torneremo sicuramente!
Pros:

Queste Siamo una piccola famiglia con due figlie, una di 2 anni e una di 9 anni, e abbiamo soggiornato qui per 3 notti. È stato tutto perfetto!

Le camere erano bellissime, spaziose e pulitissime e colazione buonissima. Tutto lo staff è stato gentilissimo e sempre disponibile a rispondere alle nostre domande e a venire incontro alle nostre esigenze.

Se torneremo a San Cesarea Terme, sicuramente torneremo qui. Grazie di tutto!

Bello ma non ci tornerei.
Pros:

Struttura in un’ottima posizione, vicino alle terme e alle calette più belle. Colazione sia dolce che salata abbondante e personale gentile.

Cons:

Non funzionava bene il frigorifero, per rinfrescare le bibite ci ha messo una notte intera.
Non era presente acqua in camera da letto al nostro arrivo ma presenti macchinette dove poterla comprare. Il condizionatore sembrava non rinfrescare la camera e abbiamo dormito molto male. Abbiamo scoperto il giorno dopo a colazione chiacchierando con altre persone che c’erano convenzioni con un lido, ma al nostro arrivo nessuno ci aveva detto nulla.

Non ha i servizi di un hotel a 4 stelle.
Pros:

Staff accogliente e struttura potenzialmente bellissima.
Ottima posizione

Cons:

Non ha i servizi richiesti in un albergo a 4 stelle.
Non è presente un ascensore ma le camere sono raggiungibili da una ripida scalinata (faticoso con il passeggino che avevamo).
Non presente seggiolone per bambini.
Reception aperta a turni.
