Cons:

Látszik, a múltból élnek. Ár érték arány rossz. A környék koszos piszkos, büdös! Nem ajánlom. A fürdőszoba koszos kicsi régi.

Cozy family driven hotel!!
Pros:

The staff was so nice and helpful! They helped us with everything we needed. The area is very calm and quiet. The beach is also very close!
You also have a supermarket just a 10 min walk.

Would highly recommend to rent a car to see more of the area. There is some distance.

Moottoripyörämatkalla Italiassa
Pros:

Viihtyisä allasalue ja ravintola, hyvä illallinen, monipuolinen aamupala. Ystävällinen henkilökunta. Uimarannalle muutama sata metriä kävelyä. Autotalli moottoripyörälle. Huoneessa iso parveke. Viihtyisä alue.

Cons:

Huone kaipaisi päivitystä, ilmastointilaite kovaääninen, kylpyhuoneessa kaikki vähän rempallaan.

Good value for money,
Pros:

Nice medium quality hotel, close to the beach/Groticelle.

Cons:

THe location was close to the most beautiful beach, however if you have no car, reaching restaurants, supermarket etc. was quite tough. Prepare for walking a lot up hill.
