Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff is nice, our room was spacious and clean, right in front of the beach and in a genuine Italian area, unfortunately currently with a lot of noisy construction work. The hotel needs serious updating, the air conditioning loses water, the shower has a broken door, low pressure and oscillating temperature, it's hard to find a parking space and the breakfast quality is really low, only the basics, without fresh local products. If you want fruit or an expresso, you have to pay extra. For what we paid and is showed in the pictures, we expected much better and don't plan to come back.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very sweet and helpful. Loved that we had a huge balcony that faced the sea. Breakfast was nice but very simple. Charged us to take coffee to our room which seemed unfair since it was "free breakfast". Beds were not so comfortable and they need more mirrors and plugs for a room that sleeps 4-6. Property a bit run down.

Wonderful family hotel, every detail is made with love. Next to an old church, the view from our hotel room was amazing. The restaurant has fresh sea food and you can order a special menu, where they drive with little boats through the restaurant, the food is on them. Beautiful wooden handmade boats, the waiter then wears a captains outfit. The pool is filled with plastic toys to use and the beach is just right over the street. I only didn’t liked the loud music they were already playing in the morning. The staff is super friendly and you feel like you are living with an Italian family.

Slitet och väldigt enkelt hotell

Brukar inte gnälla, men detta är ett väldigt enkelt och slitet hotell. Vår familj med två vuxna och två barn fick ett litet och lyhört rum med en dubbelsäng och en bäddsoffa. Endast en hylla i garderoben för hela familjen samt trasigt lås till balkongen. Balkongen var delad med skärmvägg med gästerna intill. Positivt var att hotellet hade pool att restaurangen var trevlig och att det var nära till stranden.
