Luigi was awesome!! . I was running late and he really helped me, stayed in contact, the hotel was beautiful wood and marble. I definitely coming back next summer. Thanks again, Antonio.
Very friendly staff but they didn’t speak English or understand us. Very far away from the city centre, only one bus go sometimes, bus stop was 15 minutes walk away, no restaurants near, no hotel restaurant, old building, old furniture, you can easily hear noise from other rooms, warm fridge.
This place is practically closed.
The pool area is sad as there is a pool bar and bbq area that hasnt been used in at least a decade. My wife had to sweep the area up before she sunbathed on horrid dirty plastic sunbeds. There is no restaurant on site as its closed down and no bar either.
The lobby is dark and gloomy and all the sofas smell of cat urine and feces.
Breakfast is not worth getting up for as its just s few sweet cakes and horrible coffee. There is no tv lounge as advertised and the staff cant speak a word of English even though it states that the staff are multi lingual. This us a depressing place to stay i could leave quick enough.

Hotel grande con buone potenzialità ma molto trascurata negli arredi e strutturalmente parlando.
Molto basica la colazione.
pulita e grande la camera e il bagno.

Hôtel Vieillissant
1 nuit passé ici et c'est très bien car l'Hôtel est vieillissant et franchement un peu lugubre. Impossible d'ouvrir la fenêtre ni même les volets. Seul point positif l'espace piscine qui est très joliment végétalisé. Infrastructure, restaurant et bar piscine mais tout est fermé en plein mois d'aout. Cet hôtel a du être un très bel hôtel mais dans les années 80.
La camera non aveva vista mare , colazione scarsa , spazi esterni non curati

Shouldn’t have been open
This hotel was as good as closed the pool area was unkempt it was in the middle of nowhere and the restaurant which was advertised was closed. There was literally nobody there and we have been told the hotel is closing down next week. It should never have been open, we seen approx 12 people in the 4 days we were there. It is possibly a result of Covid 19 and that’s sad however it should most definitely not have been open

Hotel comodo da raggiungere dall autostrada.
Ampio parcheggio.
Struttura datata, ma pulizia e servizio ok

Séjour début octobre avec météo encore bien agréable
Le choix s’est porté sur cet hôtel à la vue de la magnifique photo de la piscine
Quelle déception à l’arrivée en découvrant que celle ci n’était déjà plus en service, la terrasse laissée à l’abandon depuis a priori quelques jours au vue des feuilles mortes laissées à terre
Accueil tout à fait cordial, repas pris au restaurant de l’hôtel (un peu cher) mais bon
Chambre propre, un peu mal insonorisée, avec un mobilier assez ancien en bois sombre
La nuit fut bonne mais je garde la déception de la piscine déjà fermée ce 9 octobre
Omgeving zwembad was erg mooi
Internetverbinding was slecht

La demi pension n'est pas très attractive, le même choix de menu nous a été proposé sur les trois soirs, avec 2 desserts au choix, glace ou salade de fruits. Ça ne fait pas rêver !
Nonostante L’edificio sia un po’ datato, è ristrutturato e pulitissimo. Il personale é cortese. La colazione non è niente di eccezionale ma sufficiente
