Fair
Traveller Type: Business Traveler
  : Perfect location, nice and friendly staff.
  : To begin with - the photos of the hotel mislead you to think that there is a swimming pool on the ground level with see view. In fact, the swimming pool is somewhere at a high level behind the hotel with nothing like a view. The double rooms are with normal size but without a terrace and practically without any view because the windows are literally attached to a rock. Another bad thing was the presence of mosquitos and there was no window net to stop them so we were unable to open the window even for a while. In the room you could smell some neutral to negative odor and the humidity was a bit high. Moreover, the noise of some people hitting the doors around you is terrible and starts from something like 6 a.m. The breakfast was OK but I expected to see some nice Italian fruits as our stay was in end of September when there should be plenty of grapes and other seasonal fruits but ... Surprisingly for Italy the coffee was very middle-of-the-road with too much bitterness. Overall the hotel would be a great choice if it was rated 2-3 stars and the price range was meeting this category. For more than 100 per night at the end of the active summer season I expected a lot more.

Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Super clean and really well maintained. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The location is really good with great facilities like the pool and beach decking directly opposite. We really enjoyed our stay.
  : Not much at all! A few small comments. It wasnt a problem for us but the pool bar wasnt open often and not in the evenings it would be good if this large pool area was a bit more of a livelier place to go and have a drink in the evenings, but maybe it is during the busier months! And for me personally, too many sweet options for breakfast but everybody else seemed to like them!

Very Good
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Great location and very nice amenities. Great food!
  : Loved that the hotel has a kids club (and the kids really enjoyed it!) but it was only open at an awkward time in the late afternoons. Some of the staff were a bit rude and just overall not very professional.
