Porto Istana Beach

The hotel was perfectly located in Porto San Paolo. Laura, Francesca, and Danielle were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. And swift to reply to emails before we arrived, answering all our Qs. We experienced a couple of minor issues in our room, but these were resolved promptly and without any fuss. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable – I had the best sleep on them! We stayed in the studio apartment, which was spacious and very cosy. The breakfasts were delicious! One suggestion would be for the hotel to compile a list of recommended restaurants, which could easily be printed and handed out to guests. It would also be helpful to include local bus routes and timetables, as services are infrequent. And also including which beaches need to be booked in advance (we didn't do that in the end, to be honest, as there so many outstanding beaches to visit). Providing this information in advance would be a great added touch. Sort of like a welcome pack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This place was absolutely beautiful. The pool and private beach were everything. Watch the sunset from the pool deck. It’s breathtaking. The Mediterranean gardens lining the walkways were stunning. We upgraded to a deluxe room and it was perfect for me and my 13 year old daughter. Would be perfect for a couple as well.

The hotel was perfect for our beach holiday. Very relaxing stay, our room had a wonderful sea view and it was great to have the use of the hotel swimming pool and gardens when we wanted. Staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful, all very efficient and created a relaxed, family atmosphere. A few restaurants within walking distance of the hotel but hotel food was very good too. Would definitely recommend.
