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.

Perfect stay, relaxed and very friendly!
Pros:

Everything was perfect! It was above expectations! But I have to specially mention the stuff: in the reception, in the restaurant, everyone was so friendly and always took time to greet you, explain you things, always smiling, this was so great to feel this level of welcome! Also food was great, so delicious!
Don't waste time to explore around because you will only find out that the beach below the hotel is the best around! :)
