Fuga dal caldo
Pros:

Praticamente tutto. La stanza pulita, comoda, una bella doccia, un bel bagno. La vicinanza al mare, praticamente a due passi, la struttura ricettiva immersa nel verde. Staff gentile e cordiale. Un buon ristorante con vista mare, cibo di qualità. Molte aree ombreggiate naturalmente, alberi, cespugli e vegetazione ben mantenuti.

Cons:

Migliorare l'organizzazione della colazione, e rinfrescare la sala colazione

Fortino Napoleonico
Pros:

Location fenomenale. Posizione eccezionale con mare a metri 0, piscina gradevole, libertà di movimento assoluta e lettini ovunque, al sole sul mare con ombrellone e all'ombra fresca degli alberi subito a ridosso della struttura, con il monte Conero alle spalle e il mare davanti. Vacanza indimenticabile. Ho preso la suite Napoleone con arredi d'epoca eleganti e comfortevoli. Veramente molto bella. Non saprei dire se le altre camere sono alla stessa altezza.
Inoltre l'atmosfera di trovarsi in una struttura militare d'epoca, costruire per respingere attacchi dal mare è molto molto particolare ed affascinante. Ci torneremo appena possibile

Cons:

Siamo stati a cena sulla terrazza che ha una vista sul mare meravigliosa con il tramonto ma la cucina, oltre che un pò lenta e non troppo organizzata, presenta un menù limitato, secondo me, non all'altezza della struttura, ma con cifre alte in rapporto alla quantità e qualità delle pietanze. Questo unico neo da migliorare.

Una notte al Conero,
Pros:

Bellissima struttura, inserita in un contesto ambientale magnifico. Staff molto gentile.
Stanza pulita e accogliente. Ottimi servizi. Ingresso privato in mare. Lettini e ombrellone gratuiti, così come il parcheggio grande e ombreggiato.
Ristorante sul terrazzo con vista stupenda sulla baia di Portonovo. Tutto decisamente di alto livello. . Congratulazioni.

Cons:

Colazione standard internazionale a livello di un 4 stelle certamente , ma qualcosa di più originale o locale non avrebbe sfigurato.
Caffè della macchinetta self service discreto. Avrei preferito un bell'espresso!
Ovviamente per volere cercare il pelo nell'uovo :)

Great holiday in Conero
Pros:

We really enjoyed to stay at Fortino Napoleonico! Very friendly and helpful staff, restaurant offer is of good quality and location is amazing. Rooms are very comfortable and breakfast is good and the place is relaxing. We really enjoyed almost everything, if I can add just a small comment I would advice to cover car parking under the trees, birds and tree resin are not very friendly.

ganz einzigartig
Pros:

Dieses Hotel weicht schon wegen seiner Lage in einem alten Fort und daher in seiner Archtitektur von dem üblichen ab; die wunderbare Lage direkt am Meer, der riesige Garten mit Bäumen, Liegewiese, Liegen, Pool, Bar u.v.a.m. sowie die individuellen Zimmer und die pantastische Dachterasse (zum Abendessen) mit dem Sonnenuntergang über dem Conero und dem Meer sind in der Summe nicht zu übertreffen, von keinem Hotel 100 km am Meer nach Norden und Süden. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen sind hervorragend und lassen keine Wünsche offen.

Cons:

Die Speisekarte zum Abendessen könnte öfter wechseln

Entusiasti!
Pros:

TuttoEntusiasti di questo soggiorno.
Struttura affacciata direttamente sul mare, dotata di tutti i comfort, staff gentilissimo sempre attento ad ogni esigenza ma mai invadente.
Camera pulitissima ,con ampio bagno molto comodo e ben fornito. Gradevolissimi gli spazi comuni, il solarium fronte mare ,dove abbiamo anche preso uno spuntino veloce per pranzo al bistrot ,la piscina nel giardino , la chiostra interna dove abbiamo consumato la colazione , sempre ben fornita e molto varia, e dove abbiamo sorseggianto un drink dopo cena per rilassarci.
Eccellente la cucina, abbiamo cenato al ristorante in terrazza con vista pazzesca sulla baia.
Siamo rimasti 3 giorni ma non saremmo voluti ripartire

Structure and location breath taking
Pros:

The structure and location are simple breath taking. Even if renewed 50 years ago the structure maintains its historical plant and somehow the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, the rate is decreased due to the service not at the level of the price they request.
The breakfast is "normal" (there is not a toaster, for example).
The beach bar closes at 7pm and re-open at 10 am. During that time the dirty dishes remain there.
If you want to drink a glass of wine before dinner you have to chase the waiter (the terrace would be perfect for a sunset glass).
The restaurant is great (great view and great food), however, they host parties sometimes and make noise until 00.30 and they prevent you only few days before the arrival... (the guests are almost all old couples).
Definitively a nice place but...
