Otroligt vacker natur, hotellet levde upp till mina förväntningar
Pros:

Fantastiskt läge vid kusten, lätt att hitta dit. Trevligt bemötande i receptionen och välkomnande. Bra italiensk frukost. Gammal fästning från 1811 ombyggt till hotell med havet bredvid. Gott om parkeringsplatser.

Cons:

Wir waren im Restaurant zum Abend essen. Uns wurde ein recht preisintensives 4-Gänge-Menü angeboten. Es war vorzüglich. Leider begannen die Kellner während des Desserts lautstark die Tische abzuräumen, so dass wir das Gefühl hatten, wir sollen doch endlich gehen. Das hat den tollen Abend ein wenig verdorben.

Pros:

The rooms are beautiful and well-appointed, in an early 19th-century building on the seafront, a single story built of brick and stone. The dining room has a truly unique wooden ceiling. The terrace, garden, and pool are a delight. The staff is friendly and attentive.,

Cons:

Place is around 10 km from the Ancona city

Great facility and location but stag was a bit haughty.
Pros:

Love the ambiance and location. The charm was amazing.

Cons:

The staff was ok. Not very ‘warm’. When we checked it it felt like we were a bit of a bother and the smiles were forced. Then at breakfast we were standing for a while and no one acknowledged us so we sat ourselves. Then a waiter came over and rearranged where we were sitting like he was irritated with us. We waited 10 minutes without acknowledgment so we were a little frustrated and felt like we were a bother again. Not positive

Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer und das nostalgische des Fort waren sensationell, auch der Pool . Das Personal im Frühstücksraum war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die beiden E Bikes konnten wir gut in der Suite unterbringen Alles war sehr sauber.

Cons:

In der Juniorsuite bis auf die Schiessscharten nur ein Fenster mit Blick auf einen Minihinterhof auf eine Wand, die günstigeren Zimmer haben Blick ins Grüne. Brötchen am Morgen waren sehr hart und das Rührei machte nicht den frischesten Eindruck.( Sonst war alles da...)
