Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a fantastic location, great for exploring the south Italian cities and beaches. The rooms looked fantastic and were clean and comfortable, but a bit outdated. The service was amazing, especially the delicious cakes baked by Mrs Assuntina for breakfast. The location was very good for exploring the coastline, although a small mistake was made with directions to breakfast. The facilities were modern and well-maintained.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though renovated, lacked some essential touches like coffee and tea facilities and had a somewhat impersonal feel. On the bright side, Mrs Assuntina's amazing service, especially her delightful cakes, and Mr Victorio's English tea preparation were exceptional. The location was convenient for exploring the coastline, although it had some flaws. Dining in the garden was a nice touch, but the breakfast experience was not without its drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were recently renovated and looked fantastic, yet lacked small touches like coffee and tea making facilities, a decent hair dryer, and balcony furniture to fully enjoy the view. The service was amazing, especially the friendly staff who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The location is perfect for exploring the south Italian cities and beaches, offering easy access to the beautiful coastline. The dining experience was great, with a relaxing atmosphere in the restaurant's terrace surrounded by olive trees. The facilities provided added convenience to our stay, enhancing the overall experience.
The hotel has a great location for exploring the south Italian cities and beaches. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they lack some modern touches like coffee and tea making facilities.

The hotel has a modern yet impersonal feel, reminiscent of a hospital, although the rooms appeared fantastic after our two-day stay. While renovated, they lacked some essential touches like coffee and tea making facilities, a decent hair dryer, and chairs with a table on the balcony for enjoying the view.
The hotel has recently been renovated, but lacks some small touches like coffee and tea making facilities, a decent hair dryer, and balcony furniture to fully enjoy the view. The rooms are bright early in the morning and a bit outdated, which became noticeable two days after our arrival.
The hotel location was perfect for exploring the south Italian cities and beautiful beaches, but I made a mistake finding it at first. The rooms were quite dated and could have been cleaner, although they were renovated. The service was amazing, with special thanks to Mrs Assuntina for her delicious cakes at breakfast and Mr Victorio for the real English tea. The dining experience was great among the olive trees, and the atmosphere in the restaurant's terrace was very relaxing. Facilities were good, but small amenities like coffee and tea making were lacking. The hotel is ideally located near the sea pool and the charming old town.
I stayed at this hotel on a hillside with a sea view, and it was a mixed experience. The rooms, while looking fantastic, were a little outdated and lacked some small touches like coffee and tea making facilities or a decent hair dryer. The furniture seemed unkempt, but overall, the room was comfortable. The service, especially thanks to Mrs Assuntina's delicious cakes and Mr Victorio's English tea, was amazing and very friendly. The location was nice overall, though there was a slight mistake in the distance to other Italian cities and beaches. The dining was wonderful, served among olive trees, creating a relaxing atmosphere; however, it could have been more diversified. The facilities were decent, but there is room for improvement. The value for money was reasonable considering the offerings.
