romantico e confortevole
Pros:

Vista fantastica. Ottima colazione e piscina interna con spa stupenda.

Cons:

Magari alcune zone sarebbero da rendere più moderne però capisco lo stile e la storia della struttura quindi non è un vero e proprio difetto

Marco dice che il ristorante del beach club sia il suo
Pros:

La struttura ha molti servizi validi è la terza volta che ci torno.

Cons:

Purtroppo non c’è controllo reale sul servizio ristorante, in questo periodo dell’anno è aperto solo il ristorante nel beach club e nella figura del dipendente Marco (che dice che comanda lui tutto) si riscontra una grande maleducazione e una superbia velata anche da minacce poco cortesi.

Purtroppo a causa sua non torneremo più

Tutto ottimo, consiglio vivamente
Pros:

Tutto top dall’accoglienza questo si che è un albergo 5 stelle a tutti gli effetti è raro in Italia trovare servizio del genere rimasti molto soddisfatti ritorneremo sicuramente.

Cons:

Unica cosa che non mi è piaciuta la struttura era un po’ che era troppo affollata nei giorni di sabato e di domenica c’era un po’ di disorganizzazione, però per il resto tutto perfetto

Beautiful hotel in a stunning location
Pros:

All the staff were lovely, friendly but professional. Beautiful location, very comfortable and clean rooms, great views. The beach club was good - plenty of loungers.

Cons:

Could have been more choice of food during the day. Options were limited and the pool restaurant was only open a couple of hours a day. I suspect because we were slightly out of season.
