Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perched on a small hill with delightful views across the bay towards the charming fishing village of Porticello. The rooms are very comfortable, equipped with a kettle for convenience, but lacking a balcony. The service was a bit lacking in hospitality understanding. The location offers stunning views but is in a rather shabby area. The dining options are focused on pasta dishes. Overall, a mixed experience with both positives and negatives.
The hotel offers very comfortable rooms with a kettle and good views, but it lacks balconies and can be noisy at times. The service is not up to standard in terms of hospitality. The location provides stunning views of the bay but is a bit isolated from the main attractions. Dining options are limited to Italian pasta. Overall, the facilities are decent but the value for money may be questionable.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with comfortable rooms and a welcoming atmosphere from the staff. However, the lack of balconies and some noise issues were drawbacks. The location was convenient, but the dining options were limited.
The hotel offers rooms with small balconies, some with good views but others overlooking nearby houses, which can affect sleep quality. The service is lacking in understanding hospitality but does offer various amenities like room service, car hire, and laundry. The location, although on a small hill, provides wonderful views across the bay and easy access to local dining options and shops. The dining experience may be enhanced by including more variety like smoked salmon. Overall, the facilities are well-equipped but may lack the ideal level of service.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had a small balcony with a good view, but the lack of privacy could be an issue. The service was average, and the location was fantastic with stunning views. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities were somewhat lacking.
I found the hotel to be very comfortable with a kettle in the room and a great immediate view. However, there was no balcony overlooking anything, which was a bit disappointing for a group of three adults.
