Gioia del Colle Vacations from ￥255,780

Very warm welcome from young man in reception on arrival. Hubby very thankful for the tiny lift by reception as the staircase is rather quirky. Receptionist gave us a little tour of the ground floor, particularly to show us the little chapel. Room was a little small, but we were only sleeping in it after all. Large wardrobe, slightly tired decoration, with key broken in lock. Good size bathroom and shower. Towels smelt nice not usual bleach smell. No curtain or blind on the window, which was large and therefore the bathroom got extremely hot with the sun. Also meant that the bathroom was bright with streetlights at night, and when the sun came up in the early morning. Blinding when you walked into it in the early hours particularly from a dark bedroom. Just a light curtain or blind would be ideal on that window. Air conditioning in the bedroom was effective and quiet, and can dim the operating lights on it. Coolest nights we spent anywhere in Puglia. Breakfast was continental with large selection of sweet pastries. Nice coffee. Perhaps move the cereal spoons to the table where the cereal is. Because they are hidden under a red serviette by the pastries, people couldn’t find them and were taking the spoons from the coffee cups to eat cereal with. This is a small, sweet hotel on a quiet residential street, with a lovely restaurant next door, and a local beach (stony) at the end, with great sunsets. Superb location for airport.

The hotel is in an excellent location. However, the hotel is tired and is in need of a remodel.

We stayed one night. We wanted to do some laundry when we got there . Amenities stated that they had a laundry room but found out when we were there they only had laundry service. It was ok The staff were friendly some spoke better English than others but we managed. The room was perfect size and bathroom was clean. Shuttle runs every 20 minutes to airport. Only issue I had was trying to call the hotel.

To whom it may concern. The refrigerator was not working. Called the front desk and no one came. The television was a joke. The basic channel were not available. Not sure i will be back. We are talking base amenities, Television e refrigerator. Thank you for your time. Respectfully yours. Patrizio Turco.

View & ease of entry to the hotel was really why I rated this so high. The front desk & restaurant staff were good & professional. Free parking onsite, which always a bonus (poorly maintained areas). We ate in the restaurant for dinner & breakfast. The food was tasteful, but the servers & atmosphere are very flat & lifeless.
